Manchester Metropolitan University was awarded university status in 1992 and is part of the largest higher education campus in the UK and one of the most extensive education centres in Europe. With a history dating back 150 years, we have a combination of the traditional and the contemporary that sets the University apart and gives us our distinct character.
This project investigates the representation ageing and the possibilities of regeneration and rejuvenation in twenty-first century literature and film. Exploring the ‘entanglement’ of science, culture and the imagination in the promises of biomedical research to extend longevity and to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs, the project considers the distinctive contribution of literary and cinematic texts to our understanding of the ethical and ideological dimensions of medical regeneration.
