Bodies in Polyphony

• Authors: Kisiel, Anna

Abstracts

EN

The article is a review of Talking Bodies: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Embodiment, Gender and Identity, a collection of eleven essays edited by Emma Rees. Although they stem from different fields and tackle various issues, all the contributions share an interest in corporeality as a site of formative experiences. The range of subjects covers normativity (contemporarily, and in the 19th and 20th centuries), body modification, self-image, violence, (trans)gender, intimate pain, and trauma; the result is a highly heterogeneous, polyphonic volume.
