From fur coats to nude paintings, and from sports to beauty
contests, the body has been central to the literal and figurative
fashioning of ourselves as individuals and as a nation. In this
first collection on the history of the body in Canada, an
interdisciplinary group of scholars explores the multiple ways the
body has served as a site of contestation in Canadian history in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Showcasing a variety of
methodological approaches, Contesting Bodies and Nation in Canadian
History includes essays on many themes that engage with the larger
historical relationship between the body and nation: medicine and
health, fashion and consumer culture, citizenship and work, and
more. The contributors reflect on the intersections of bodies with
the concept of nationhood, as well as how understandings of the
body are historically contingent. The volume is capped off with a
critical introductory chapter by the editors on the history of
bodies and the development of the body as a category of analysis.
