Description: The widespread practice of psychoanalysis, the development of genetic engineering, and the raised consciousness of the female body have altered not only the traditional idea of body but also of how we inhabit the body, and hence make and inhabit space. How does the new understanding of the body relate to space? How does architecture adjust to this new idea of body? When does the body become the body politic? In Anybody, these and other questions are argued by thirty essayists.
Notes: "Anybody is the sixth in a series of eleven planned volumes documenting the annual international, cross-disciplinary conferences being sponsored by Anyone Corporation to investigate the condition of architecture at the end of the millennium"--T.p. verso.
