Marc Lafrance

Marc Lafrance (DPhil, University of Oxford) is an associate professor of sociology at Concordia University. Informed by contemporary poststructuralist and psychoanalytic approaches, he explores media representations of gender, sexuality, race and class, and how they are bound up with broader issues of self, body and society. He has focused in particular on how the televisual media represents new frontiers of surgical practice – ranging from obesity-related procedures to facial transplantation and sex-reassignment surgeries – and how these representations can be seen to express a variety of collective fears and fantasies pertaining to present-day body modification practices. His work has been published in leading refereed journals and book collections as well as in the popular press.
