Getting under the skin

the body and media theory

Edición de la obra Getting under the skin

"The body as an object of critical study dominates disciplines across the humanities to such an extent that a new discipline has emerged: body criticism. In Getting Under the Skin, Bernadette Wegenstein traces contemporary body discourse in philosophy and cultural studies to its roots in twentieth-century thought - showing how psychoanalysis, phenomenology, cognitive science, and feminist theory contributed to a new body concept - and studies the millenial body in performance art, popular culture, new media arts, and architecture."--Jacket.
