Embodied Collective Memory

The Making and Unmaking of Human Nature

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The human body is not a given fact-it is acquired, achieved, and learned. The body remembers, and it does so in collectively relevant ways. This book discusses how, why, and to what extent corporeal memories are constructed but also resisted, modified, or created anew.
