Rezensionen

Spatz's first book, What A Body Can Do, was immensely helpful to me as an ethnographer in providing a vocabulary and conceptual framework to name and honor the hidden abodes of clandestine knowledges and the resistant performatives of local embodied practices. This book will be no less influential as an example of performative writing, offering another level in the discovery of "what a body can do" as first affordance, as well as showing how pedagogy can instigate threshold crossings, all in service of ethics and politics.
