Social semiotics, 20/2/1/, Volume: 22, Issue: 1Journal Article
Postmillennial photographic narratives that represent women's lived experience of breast cancer and its technologized terrain provide the focus of this essay, which offers a critical analysis of Catherine Lord's The Summer of Her Baldness (2004) and Lynn Kohlman's Lynn Front to Back (2005). The essay examines ways in which narrators and audiences construct multiple meanings regarding the somatic and symbolic contours of this disease, and it explores the following questions: What distinctive contributions to readers' and viewers' understandings of women's material and technologized bodies do twenty-first breast cancer photo-narratives offer? How might feminist theories of illness, autobiography, and embodiment and postmodern constructions of narrative subjectivity enhance analysis and interpretation of breast cancer's textual and visual representations? What discursive tropes and personae, visual and rhetorical strategies, ethical and aesthetic debates, and opportunities for discursive resistance and audience witness do these narratives engage?
