Phantom limb pain is one of the most intractable and merciless pains ever known—a pain that haunts appendages that do not physically exist, often persisting with uncanny realness long after fleshy limbs have been traumatically, surgically, or congenitally lost. The very existence and “naturalness” of this pain has been instrumental in modern science’s ability to create prosthetic technologies that many feel have transformative, self-actualizing, and even transcendent power. In Phantom Limb, Cassandra S. Crawford critically examines phantom limb pain and its relationship to prosthetic innovation, tracing the major shifts in knowledge of the causes and characteristics of the phenomenon. Crawford exposes how the meanings of phantom limb pain have been influenced by developments in prosthetic science and ideas about the extraordinary power of these technologies to liberate and fundamentally alter the human body, mind, and spirit. Through intensive observation at a prosthetic clinic, interviews with key researchers and clinicians, and an analysis of historical and contemporary psychological and medical literature, she examines the modernization of amputation and exposes how medical understanding about phantom limbs has changed from the late-19th to the early-21st century. Crawford interrogates the impact of advances in technology, medicine, psychology and neuroscience, as well as changes in the meaning of limb loss, popular representations of amputees, and corporeal ideology. Phantom Limb questions our most deeply held ideas of what is normal, natural, and even moral about the physical human body.

'Ageing, Corporeality and Embodiment' argues that both ageing as a unitary social process and agedness as a distinct social location have become fragmented. The book concentrates on the emergence of a 'new ageing' mediated in part through the processes of 'embodiment'.
The first section provides the main theoretical context for the book, with the first chapter outlining the new 'sociology of the body' and the second outlining the emergence of new ageing and its 're-orientation' toward the body. The second section explores the relationship between new ageing and key aspects of embodied identity, namely gender, race, disability and sexuality. In each of these sections, the authors provide a brief historical perspective on the emergence of these embodied identities as social movements during the cultural ferment of the 1960s, and explore their subsequent confrontation, or avoidance of confrontation with, the issue of ageing.
The third section covers embodied practices, from sexual practice and its re-orientation toward age and ageing, to the embodied practices of 'appearance management', particularly those associated with cosmetics, clothing and fashion. Finally, the book considers 'new enhancement technologies' of the body, such as plastic surgery, with relation to ideas of 'rejuvenation'. By focusing upon those embodied practices that are oriented toward age and ageing, and their place in expressing, maintaining or recreating other 'pre-performed' identities, the work allows a more embodied understanding of ageing and its diverse engagements within society to be realised.
