Common Bodies (Paperback)

The gendered body in its common, everyday activities and references is the central focus of this book. Recognizing the highly abstract and often "disembodied" character of contemporary discussions on the body in relation to gender, subjectivity and discourse, the authors of this anthology start their inquiries at a more mundane level by studying "common bodies": human bodies and bodily practices in daily situations of (domestic) work and care, of sex, love and violence, and of prayer and ritual. From this angle of "corporeal agency" they discuss the meaning of religion, religiosity, transcendence and/or Divinity.
