This volume explores the interrelations between bodily boundaries
and vulnerabilities. It calls attention to the vulnerability of
bodies as an essential aspect of having boundaries and being bound
to other bodies. The volume advances an understanding of embodiment
as the central aspect of subjectivity, its identity formation and
its relations to others and the world. The essence of embodiment is
what connects us with others and in equal measure what
distinguishes us from others. The collection also addresses the
centrality of the body to political and cultural activity,
targeting the role and constitution of norms in the regulation of
bodies, and the construction of spaces that bodies inhabit, in
constructing national and cultural identities. It raises questions
of how bodies and boundaries materialize in co-constitutive
relation to one another; how bodies are situated and come to embody
various bodies and intersections between different categories of
identity and systems of value, meaning and knowledge; how the
regulation and policing of bodies and the boundaries between them
come to constitute bodies as being weak, strong, vulnerable or
resilient and as having more or less fixed or fluid boundaries. The
chapters in the volume all demonstrate how individual human bodies
are formed in relation to each other as they are regulated and
distinguished from one another by larger collective bodies of
nature, culture, science, nation and state, as well as by other
human or non-human animal bodies.
