The Corporeal Turn: an interdisciplinary reader.
Imprint Academic. 2009
The Corporal Turn documents in a single text the impressive array of
investigations possible with respect to the body and bodily life,
showing for each specific topic the need to fathom
and elucidate complex and subtle structures of animate meaning.
The corporeal turn is envisioned as an ever-expanding, continuous, and open-ended spiral of inquiry in which deeper and deeper understandings are forged, understandings that in each instance themselves call out for deeper and deeper inquiries. The first thirteen essays have already been published as distinct articles. The two new essays constituting the final chapters are testimony to this open-ended spiral of inquiry.
