Bodily Discursions - Genders, Representations, Technologies

'Bodily Discursions' offers a multiplicity of feminist perspectives on the body, especially the female body, from a variety of disciplines: literary history, social theory, art history, cultural studies, the history of rhetoric, film, and literary criticism among others. All of the essays offer variations on the same theme: the idea that the body is a site for the production of political ideologies, particularly in response to social exigencies and cultural crises.
