Since the time of Freud, some of the most radical innovators within critical theory have stressed the importance of the body and its representation to the constitution of subjectivity. This book explores some of the theoretical debates surrounding the body, and assesses its value as a critical concept, through an analysis of the body's representation both in Welsh literary texts in English, and discourse about Wales more generally.

Mit ihren am „Leitfaden des Leibes" orientierten Lektüren wendet sich diese Arbeit einem Phänomen zu, das eine zentrale Stelle im Schaffen Heinrich Heines behauptet und das bisher vor allem im Zusammenhang der vormärzlichen Debatte um die „Emanzipation des Fleisches" untersucht worden ist. Den vorliegenden Analysen liegt die Annahme zugrunde, dass die Präsenz der Körperthematik im komplexen (Euevre Heines mit dem Bedürfnis nach einer argumentativen Verteidigung der Sinnlichkeit nicht hinreichend erklärt ist. Diese Hypothese motiviert die Frage, welche semantische und kommunikative Qualität einer der prominentesten deutschen Autoren und Intellektuellen des 19. Jahrhunderts dem Körper auch unabhängig von besagter Kontroverse zugeschrieben hat. Die Frage, welches Wissen um den Körper des Menschen, welche Wahrnehmungsmuster, welche Körperbilder unddeutungen in Heines Texten begegnen, sucht die Autorin anhand des zeitgenössischen medizinischen Diskurses und überlieferter ikonographischer Muster zu beantworten. Katarzyna Jastal arbeitet am Germanistischen Institut der Jagellonen-Universität in Krakow. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind deutsche und österreichische Literatur des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts sowie die deutschsprachige Literatur der Bukowina.

The metaphor of the Church as a "body" has shaped Catholic thinking since the Second Vatican Council. Its influence on theological inquiries into Catholic nature and practice is well-known; less obvious is the way it has shaped a generation of Catholic imaginative writers. Cathedrals of Bone is the first full-length study of a cohort of Catholic authors whose art takes seriously the themes of the Council: from novelists such as Mary Gordon, Ron Hansen, Louise Erdrich, and J. F. Powers, to poets such as Annie Dillard, Mary Karr, Lucia Perillo, and Anne Carson, to the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright John Patrick Shanley. Motivated by the inspirational yet thoroughly incarnational rhetoric of Vatican II, each of these writers encourages readers to think about the human body as a site-perhaps the most important site-of interaction between God and human beings. Although they represent the body in different ways, these late-twentieth-century Catholic artists share a sense of its inherent value. Moreover, they use ideas and terminology from the rich tradition of Catholic sacramentality, especially as it was articulated in the documents of Vatican II, to describe that value. In this way they challenge the Church to take its own tradition seriously and to reconsider its relationship to a relatively recent apologetics that has emphasized a narrow view of human reason and a rigid sense of orthodoxy.
