An almost obsessive interest in the human body in literary and
psychological theory over the past ten years has uncovered not just
the physical body but the body as metaphor, political emblem,
social construction, and symptom.
The Wounded Body builds on this recent interest in the body by
providing an ambitious interdisciplinary exploration of the wounded
body in literature from Homer to Toni Morrison. Guided by insights
from phenomenology to Jungian archetypal psychology, Dennis
Slattery argues that the body in its scarred, marked, diseased,
tattooed, or otherwise afflicted state is not only an individual
phenomenon but, in the hands of the poet, a cultural symptom, a
place of suffering, as well as a way of seeing and ordering the
experience of the one who is wounded.
