The shapes and roles vary: from the iconic body - teasing, sexy, lascivious, to the fantastic, scientific body - an expression of concerns with the misuse of science, to the body perceived as a burden - hateful, tired, a weight to be discarded. The scale is not intended to imply a development, but to show how intensively contemporary fiction grapples with the ideas involved." . .
