Reviews

In traditional accounts of the body, the body was a delivery system for the mind. The mind told the body what to do and the body did it. In opposition to this, a range of 20th-century thinkers studied the body not as a delivery system but as an agentfor instance, as the seat of emotions or how posture shapes self-image or how the shape of the body impacts the sense of time and so on. This collection pushes those studies of embodiment considerably further. It examines how the interaction of multiple bodies, coordinating their movements in reciprocal ways, structures who people are...Including contributions from psychologists, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers, and linguists (among others), this book is filled with exciting ideas that expand the sense of what it means to be human, and it reveals a dimension of self not commonly noticed. --J. F. Richeimer, Kenyon College, Choice
