Re-Covering the Scarred Body: Textual and Photographic Narratives of Breast Cancer

Abstract

Reading first-person breast cancer narratives—textual and photographic—from the late seventies to the present, this essay examines how photographs can insert themselves into a heterogeneous tradition of illness narratives, inflecting current debates in breast cancer representation and even changing the framework of thinking about the disease.
