To Me Or Not to Me: Personal Body As Contested Ownership
This paper advances extant knowledge about alternative forms of ownership. Through a longitudinal, multi-sited ethnography of the body modification phenomenon, we explore the lived experience of people whose legitimate entitlement to their body is contested. We identify factors facilitating/hindering the maintenance of individual ownership over the modified body.
