In this collection leading thinkers writers and activists offer their responses to the simple question do I have a body or am I my body?. The essays engage with the array of meanings that our bodies have today ranging from considerations of nineteenth-century discourses of bodily shame and otherness through to arguing for a brand new corporeal vocabulary for the twenty-first century. Increasing numbers of people are choosing to modify their bodies but as the essays in this volume show this is far from being a new practice: over hundreds of years it has evolved and accrued new meanings. This richly interdisciplinary volume maps a range of cultural anxieties about the body resulting in a timely and compelling book that makes a vital contribution to today's key debates about embodiment.
