Body Matters approaches the material world directly; it seeks to
remind people that they are the matter of their bodies. This volume
offers an assortment of contributions from anthropology,
archaeology and medieval studies, with case studies from northern
Europe, the Near East, East Africa and Amazonia, which variously
draw attention to the multiple shifting materials that comprise,
impact upon and co-create human bodies. This lively collection
foregrounds myriad material influences interacting with and shaping
the human body; the chapters come together to illustrate the
fundamental fleshy, bony, suppurating, leaky and oozing physicality
of being human. Ultimately, by reminding readers of their
indisputable materiality, Body Matters seeks to draw people and the
rest of the material world together to illustrate that bodies not
only seep into (and are part of) the landscape, but equally that
people and the material world are inextricably co-constitutive.
