The aim of this article is to show how the military rhetoric related to infection manifested itself in works of science and popular fiction of the late 18th century and early 19th century; how human bodies were perceived as battlefields on which the forces of infection and resistance fought; and finally, how similes taken from literary texts were used to show and explain the strategies infective agents employed to infiltrate and terrorise their unsuspecting victims. This paper focuses on scientific and literary texts which contain two examples of uses of bodies in this ideological war: similes of bodies as peculiar territories under external threat, and bodies as sources of contagion, smuggled across the borders of actual territories.

The Shape-Shifting Body of Historiography The basic purpose of this work is to juxtapose late 19th-century and early 20thcentury conceptualisations of time, cultural distance, a/historicism, agency, historical knowledge, causality, objectivity, scriptocentrism, mode of writing about the real, and space, as they surface in British historiography. These juxtapositions serve as the grounds on the basis of which the mechanisms that concatenate the transformation(s) of each of these notions are pinpointed. The end purpose of this work is to substantiate the thesis that the variety of the mentioned mechanisms disallows treating the late 19th-century and the early 20th-century British historiography as two contrastive bodies of ideas.

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.
