- Summary:
- "This is My Body attempts to redefine representation and representational practices in a way that will realign them with the debates on the nature of representation in the early Middle Ages. Rather than defining representation in terms of either imitation of nature (Aristotle) or the process of doubling (Plato), this study seeks to engage historically specific understandings of representation as a heterogeneous discursive practice, which was defined and redefined within a dynamic field of shifting relationships between theological, social, political, and cultural formulations allowed to be conceived in different venues at different times."--BOOK JACKET. "At its core, this book deals with a central problem for the study of medieval representational practices and theater: how to understand and make use of the Quem quaeritis and the Regularis concordia, as well as other early documents that have been brought forth by historians, as evidence of the "rebirth" of drama in the early medieval period."--BOOK JACKET.
