paper recap prostheses and aesthetics

The Steelers are 6 and 6: I am having fits....

The bobblehead recap of my paper:
  • Prosthetics were originally about repairing a handicap
  • They were about performance and practicality
  • Mullins represents a transition from prosthetics as performance enhancement to aesthetic enhancement
  • The stigma of the handicap is sort of transformed into the celebration of the bizzarre, not unlike how we see our models, movie stars, etc.
  • THE PROSTHETICS ARE REALLY COOL! (CHEETAH LEGS, JELLYFISH, ETC)

I really enjoyed writing this paper though my focus was probably a little different than most
