Description: Corpus begins with the argument that traditional disciplines are unable to fully apprehend the body and embodiment - that critical study of these topics urgently demands interdisciplinary approaches. The collection's fourteen original essays grapple with the place of bodies in a range of twenty-first century knowledge practices, including trauma, surveillance, aging, fat, food, feminist technoscience, death, disability, biopolitics, and race, among others.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
