This book examines the reciprocity that exists between the body and
the urban built environment. It will draw on archival and
ethnographic research as well as an interdisciplinary literature on
cultural materialism, semiotics, and aesthetics to challenge
dualist interpretations of four different points of
historical-material contact in Cape Town, South Africa. Each
chapter attends to different groups, social practices, and
historical periods, but all share the fundamental questions: how
does material culture reflect the way social agents make meaning
through bodily contact with urban built form, and how does such
meaning challenge the ways bodies are objectified? Further, how can
we make sense of the historical processes embedded in the
objectification of bodies without treating the social and the
material, the mental and the physical as separate realities?
