Seller's Description:
Softcover. Large thick octavo. 480pp + xxpp of adverts, etc. Nicely produced. Thick illustrated card covers with fold-in flaps, color and b&w illustrations. This is Part One of three volume set, the set being described by the publishers: "These volumes...examine the history of the human body as a field where life and thought intersect. They show how different cultures at different times have entwined physical capacities and mental mechanisms in order to construct a body adapted to moral ideas or social circumstances-the body of a charismatic citizen or a visionary monk, a mirror image of the world or a reflection of the spirit. Each volume emphasizes a particular perspective. Part 1 explores the human body's relationship to the divine, to the bestial, and to the machines that imitate or simulate it. Part 2 covers the junctures between the body's “outside” and “inside” by studying the manifestations-or production-of the soul and the expression of the emotions and, on another level, by examining the speculations inspired by cenesthesia, pain, and death. Part 3 brings into play the classical opposition between organ and function by showing how organs or bodily substances can be used to justify or challenge the way human societies function and, conversely, how political and social functions tend to make the bodies of the persons filling them the organs of a larger body-the social body or the universe as a whole."
