Scholars have only recently discovered that the human body itself
has a history. Not only has it been perceived, interpreted, and
represented differently in different epochs, but it has also been
lived differently, brought into being within widely dissimilar
material cultures, subjected to various technologies and means of
control, and incorporated into different rhythms of production and
consumption, pleasure and pain. The eight articles in this volume
support, supplement, and explore the significance of these
insights. They belong to a new historical endeavor that derives
partly from the crossing of historical with anthropological
investigations, partly from social historians' deepening interest
in culture, partly from the thematization of the body in modern
philosophy (especially phenomenology), and partly from the emphasis
on gender, sexuality, and women's history that large numbers of
feminist scholars have brought to all disciplines.
