- Summary:
- This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. This volume crashes through many boundaries: between academic disciplines, between nations and cultures, and finally between the concepts 'time', 'space', and 'body'. With contributors from architecture, literary studies, education, cultural studies, and other fields, chapters take a special interest in the body as it is constructed, scripted, and performed through time and space. Arranged into sections for ease of use in the advanced university course, chapters explore significant questions for the 21st century: What is time? What is the relationship between space and existence? Who controls our bodies? Is there hope for the future given hegemonic controls on the body? From liberature to freak shows, from crime fiction to choreography and art installations to disability, the lived body is explored in all its human puzzlement.
