Purloined Organs - Psychoanalysis of Transplant Organs as Objects of Desire


 


This book addresses organ transplantation from a psychoanalytical  perspective. Where other authors consider topics of informed consent, scarcity and organ trade, Zwart explores the ways in which the practice fundamentally challenges our basic experience and image of the body, revolving around issues such as embodiment, ownership and bodily integrity. In organ transplantation, the body emerges as something which we simultaneously have and are-constituting a whole, as well as a set of partial objects that can be transplanted and replaced, donated and sold.



H.A.E. Zwart is Dean of Erasmus School of Philosophy, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
