Reviews

"""From biblical arousals to RAF corpse art; from Joy's feminist pornography to Dr Bitch Ray's bodily interventions, there is much to admire in this thought-provoking essay collection on the visual culture and politics of the body in real-world German contexts."" --Michael Hau, author of Performance Anxiety: Sport and Work in Germany from the Empire to Nazism (2017), and Head of History, Monash University, Australia ""How to Make the Body is a rich, multi-faceted volume that demonstrates the value of focusing on the body, and embodiment, in examining various aspects of visual culture in 20th and 21st-century German contexts [...] and with a strong and welcome emphasis on feminist and queer approaches."" --Rick McCormick, Professor of German, Nordic, Slavic, and Dutch, University of Minnesota, USA ""Engaging with a diverse array of events, texts, and representations of lived experience, How to Make the Body powerfully mobilizes a range of cutting-edge theoretical approaches to generate new understandings of embodiment vital to German Studies and beyond."" --Sara F. Hall, Associate Professor of Germanic Studies, University of Illinois Chicago, USA"
