Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body

Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body

The body and experiences of embodiment have generated a rich and diverse sociological literature. This volume articulates and illustrates one major approach to the sociology of the body: symbolic interactionism an increasingly prevalent theoretical base of contemporary sociology derived from the pragmatism of writers such as John Dewey William James Charles Peirce Charles Cooley and George Herbert Mead. The authors argue that from an interactionist perspective the body is much more than a tangible corporeal object - it is a vessel of great significance to the individual and society. From this perspective body self and social interaction are intimately interrelated and constantly reconfigured. The collection constitutes a unique anthology of empirical research on the body from health and illness to sexuality from beauty and imagery to bodily performance in sport and art and from mediated communication to plastic surgery. The contributions are informed by innovative interactionist theory offering fresh insights into one of the fastest growing sub-disciplines of sociology and cultural studies. | Body/Embodiment Symbolic Interaction and the Sociology of the Body

Mentalizing the Body Integrating Body and Mind in Psychotherapy

Mentalizing the Body Integrating Body and Mind in Psychotherapy

Mentalizing the Body brings together theory and practice with the latest neurobiological and developmental psychological findings to understand the relevance of the body in a wide range of mental disorders especially personality and somatization disorders. Ulrich Schultz-Venrath provides insight on individual bodily phenomena within psychotherapeutic treatments – experienced by patients as well as therapists – and focuses on the importance of the intentionality of bodily symptoms and how they can be integrated in the talking cure. Mentalizing the Body expands the work of Anthony Bateman and Peter Fonagy adding the “body mode” in contrast to the popular concept of “embodied mentalizing. ” Promoting mentalizing in psychotherapy while taking the body into account helps not only patients with somatoform and eating disorders but also those whose psychological complaints have a missing connection to the body. Schultz-Venrath provides detailed insight on the range of therapies and treatments available from individual and group psychotherapies to body art and music therapy with clinical case studies and diagrams throughout. Mentalizing the Body will be of great interest to practitioners and researchers – from psychoanalysts and psychotherapists to psychiatrists and psychologists seeking to understand the mentalization model and all healthcare professionals working with severe mental disorders. | Mentalizing the Body Integrating Body and Mind in Psychotherapy

Clothed in the Body Asceticism the Body and the Spiritual in the Late Antique Era

Clothed in the Body Asceticism the Body and the Spiritual in the Late Antique Era

Hunt examines the apparent paradox that Jesus' earthly existence and post resurrection appearances are experienced through consummately physical actions and attributes yet some ascetics within the Christian tradition appear to seek to deny the value of the human body to find it deadening of spiritual life. Hunt considers why the Christian tradition as a whole has rarely managed more than an uneasy truce between the physical and the spiritual aspects of the human person. Why is it that the 'Church' has energetically argued through centuries of ecumenical councils for the dual nature of Christ but seems still unwilling to accept the full integration of physical and spiritual within humanity despite Gregory of Nazianzus's comment that 'what has not been assumed has not been redeemed'? | Clothed in the Body Asceticism the Body and the Spiritual in the Late Antique Era

The Body in History Culture and the Arts

The Body in History Culture and the Arts

The aim of this book is to explore the body in various historical contexts and to take it as a point of departure for broader historiographical projects. The chapters in the volume present the ways in which the body constitutes a valuable and productive object of historical analysis especially as a lens through which to trace histories of social political and cultural phenomena and processes. More specifically the authors use the body as a tool for critical re-examination of particular histories of human experience and of societal and cultural practices thus contributing to the burgeoning area of body history in terms of both specific case studies as well as historiography in general. | The Body in History Culture and the Arts

The contributors integrate phenomenological insights with discussions about bodily brokenness in philosophy theology medical science and literary theory.

David Foster Wallace and the Body

David Foster Wallace and the Body

David Foster Wallace and the Body is the first full-length study to focus on Wallace’s career-long fascination with the human body and the textual representation of the body. The book provides engaging accessible close readings that highlight the importance of the overlooked and yet central theme of all of this major American author’s works: having a body. Wallace repeatedly made clear that good fiction is about what it means to be a ‘human being’. A large part of what that means is having a body and being conscious of the conflicts that arise morally and physically as a result; a fact with which as Wallace forcefully and convincingly argues we all desire ‘to be reconciled’. Given the ubiquity of the themes of embodiment in Wallace’s work this study is an important addition to an expanding field. The book also opens up the themes addressed to interrogate aspects of contemporary literature culture and society more generally placing Wallace’s works in the history of literary and philosophical engagements with the brute fact of embodiment.

Producing the Archival Body

Producing the Archival Body

Producing the Archival Body draws on theoretical and practical research conducted within US and Canadian archives along with critical and cultural theory to examine the everyday lived experiences of archivists and records creators that are often overlooked during archival and media production. Expanding on the author’s previous work which engaged archival and queer theories to develop the Queer/ed Archival Methodology that intervenes in traditional archival practices the book invites readers interested in humanistic inquiry to re-consider how archives are defined understood deployed and accessed to produce subjects. Arguing that archives and bodies are mutually constitutive and developing a keen focus on the body and embodiment alongside archival theory the author introduces new understandings of archival bodies. Contributing to recent disciplinary moves that offer a more transdisciplinary emphasis Lee interrogates how power circulates and is deployed in archival contexts in order to build critical understandings of how deeply archives influence and shape the production of knowledges and human subjectivities. Producing the Archival Body will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of archival studies library and information science gender and women’s studies anthropology history digital humanities and media studies. It should also be of great interest to practitioners working in and with archives

The Moving Body and the English Romantic Imaginary

The Moving Body and the English Romantic Imaginary

The Moving Body and the English Romantic Imaginary explores ways in which England in the Romantic period conceptualized its relation both to its constituent parts within the United Kingdom and to the larger world through discussions of dance dancing and dancers and through theories of dance and performance. As a referent that both engaged and constructed the body—through physical training anatomization spectacle and spectatorship pathology parody and sentiment—dance worked to produce an English exceptional body. Discussions of dance in fiction and periodical essays as well as its visual representation in print culture were important ways to theorize points of contact as England was investing itself in the world as an economic and imperial power during and after the Revolutionary period. These formulations offer dance as an engine for the reconfiguration of gender class and national identity in the print culture of late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England.

The Collaborative Body in Qualitative Research Becoming Bodyography

The Collaborative Body in Qualitative Research Becoming Bodyography

The Collaborative Body in Qualitative Research challenges normative philosophies that have frequently neglected the body’s place in research and then illustrates how the body is essential for all meaning making. By ‘voicing the body’ the first part of this rebellious book problematizes how the body is used/assessed yet often silenced in academic writing. This book then fluidly moves to celebrating the body through discussing taboo topics like sex/sexuality in friendship underwear (knickers) ageing and death as well as how a non-binary body moves in a heteronormative world. Through the lens of Bodyography this book does research differently – illuminating how the body flourishes excites knowledge and is complicated when placed on a ‘screen’. This book celebrates a collaborative and arts-based approach. This book is a dialogue between The Bodies Collective with dialogic resonance sections between each chapter and art pieces throughout. This book will encourage all scholars to do research differently. Anyone with a thirst to challenge normative practices in academia and who wants research to be inspiring and playful will fall in love with this book. N. B. Please cite the authorship of this book as 'The Bodies Collective (2023)' | The Collaborative Body in Qualitative Research Becoming Bodyography

Nationalism and the Body Politic

Nationalism and the Body Politic

This volume aims to question the recent revival of neo-nationalist policies in the light of what unconscious fantasies are involved in these developments. It examines both recent movements of right-wing extremism and the way in which rearticulated neo-ethnic ideas have been adopted by mainstream politicians and in mainstream public discourse. Politicians from other than the right-wing populist parties have tended to resist specific ways of talking that are considered too extremist rather than their underlying frame of interpretation. Governments across Europe have adopted anti-immigrant and anti-Roma policies. Xenophobia and hostility towards 'others' is on the rise along with appeals to Tradition and Security. 'Cultures of fear' are linked with fantasies of fusion or 'imagined sameness'. Alongside the image of the nation as a mother and/or father Reich (1933) called attention to the fantasy of the nation as a body echoed in Money-Kyrle's (1939) characterization of 'group hypochondria' in connection with the burning of witches and heretics. | Nationalism and the Body Politic

Architectural Colossi and the Human Body Buildings and Metaphors

Architectural Colossi and the Human Body Buildings and Metaphors

The human body has been used as both a model and metaphor in architecture since antiquity. This book explores how it has been an inspiration for the exterior form of architectural colossi through the years. It considers the body as a source of architectural and artistic representation and in doing so explores the results of such practices in colossal sculptures and architectural praxis within a philosophical discourse of space time and media. Architectural Colossi and the Human Body discusses the role of Platonic and Cartesian philosophy and how philosophers such as Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty and theoreticians such as Frascari and Pallasmaa have seen described and analysed the human body and the role of architecture and perception. Drawing upon three key case studies and by employing theoretical ideas of Venturi and others this book will provide an understanding of the role of anthromorphism and the relation and use of the human body with reference to selected architects and artists. | Architectural Colossi and the Human Body Buildings and Metaphors

The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

The anxiety over death persists in everyday life- though often denied or repressed- lingering as an unconscious worry or intuition that typically seems to compromise one’s feelings of well-being and experience in a range of areas; coming out often as malaise depression and anger in much conduct. If one accepts the cliché that life is preparation for death we must accept that the lived experience of the dying body is not highlighted merely in obvious cases of deterioration such as in the ageing or diseased body but in everyday life as a normal phenomenon. This book proposes that sensitivity to this dimension can empower us to develop creative relationships to the vulnerability of others and to ourselves as well. Part One lays the groundwork for a study of the ways the aura and fear of death recurs as a constant premonition in life and how people try to deal with this uneasiness. Part Two then goes on to apply this focus to particular concerns and problems such as dementia depression aging retirement and a range of anxieties frustrations and aggressions. The Dying Body as Lived Experience will be of interest to a wide interdisciplinary audience in the health sciences in the sociology of health and illness philosophy bioethics and in the expanding field of medical humanities. | The Dying Body as a Lived Experience

No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution

No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution

No-Body Homicides: The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution examines how police and prosecutors have become more successful in obtaining convictions for homicide when the remains of the victim are unavailable as evidence. Based on an examination of over 600 cases in the United States and Canada this book shows the length some killers will go to avoid punishment and the determination of police and prosecutors to bring them to justice. For over 300 years murderers in the United States and Canada could avoid prosecution by successfully disposing of the body of their victim. No-Body Homicides provides the reader with a historical overview of prosecutions in which a killer destroyed or hid the body of the victim. It explains why prosecutions were once extremely rare and how legal attitudinal and technical changes have made them more common. The book also explores how the logic of no-body homicide prosecutions differs from body-present homicides. It allows police and prosecutors to draw on the accumulated experience of hundreds of prosecutions. For criminology students it provides fascinating insights into the process of investigating and prosecuting homicides – as well as a glimpse into the motivations and practices of killers who are so determined to avoid punishment that they remove the bodies of their victims. No-Body Homicides will be of practical interest to police or prosecutors confronted with a missing person’s case that could be sinister. It is also written to be appropriate as a supplementary text in an undergraduate criminology class or for an aficionado of “True Crime. ” | No-Body Homicides The Evolution of Investigation and Prosecution
