This collection of twelve peer-reviewed essays on Jacques Lacan and Michel Foucault interrogates the body in all of its beauty...and with all of its blights and blemishes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Written by a diverse body of scholars--art historians, cultural theorists, English professors, philosophers, psychoanalysts, and sociologists from North America and Europe--these essays bring into conversation two intellectual giants frequently seen as antagonists, and thus rarely seen together. Topics covered include: the intersections of Foucault and Lacan and how they bring to light new thoughts on the senses, the self-destructive body, ableism and disability in Guillermo del Toro''s film \u003ci\u003eThe Shape of Water\u003c\/i\u003e, body image and the ego, selfie-culture, and metamorphosis in Ottessa Moshf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\tvii\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Friendship in a Time of Covid-19\t\u003cbr\u003eBecky R.
