The practice of self-surgery and body modification in the 1980s and 1990s represents a specific internalization of political action to redress rampant social inequity. The aftermath of the collapse of social and political collectivity, as the 1960s made way for the 1970s, resulted in individuals experiencing a sense of failure and impotence. Once the collective voice of protest seemed politically silenced, the physical body became the new site of political dissidence. Body modification and self-surgery were given agency, and the self-surgeons defiantly marked, cut, and redefined themselves in an active retreat to a sphere of influence they could control: their own flesh. Body modifiers caught the attention of the nation by establishing a newly personal cultural debate. Artists, writers, and philosophers; such as Kathy Acker, Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, and Julia Kristeva; created the breeding ground for the self-surgeon as they explored the structures and mechanisms that create both subjecthood and the mechanisms of subjectivity. This discursive attention to embodiment bred a culture of self-surgery that would write and rewrite the operations of power and identity in the self-constructed body. This physical and cultural body, born and reborn and given agency, continues to become the site from which new meanings and imaginary futures can arise.
