Abstract

The body has come to occupy a central place in cultural history, with historians consistently exploring such themes as the history of disease, disability, beauty, and sexuality. This engaging and concise book offers a clear introduction to the history of the body, introducing a wide array of conceptual approaches to the field. It delineates the topic of body history and its origins in cultural history and gender history, distinguishing it from related disciplines such as the history of the self, the history of medicine, the history of emotion and gender history. Bringing in a wealth of thought-provoking examples from historical writing, it goes on to explore a range of themes, including racism, anorexia, gender and sexuality, psychoanalysis and agency. With further reading and explanations of key concepts provided throughout, this wide-ranging yet accessible text is the first introductory book to address this vibrant field from a theoretical perspective. It is ideal for students of historiography, medical history or the history of the body.

Abstract

« Notre corps charnel nous est propre, mais il ne nous appartient pas comme un bien, autrement dit une propriété aliénable, que l'on peut donner ou vendre, comme un vélo ou une maison. La confusion fatale entre les deux est délibérément entretenue par l'idéologie ultralibérale qui veut nous persuader que, puisque notre corps « nous appartient », nous sommes libres de l'aliéner. Admirons le paradoxe. » Sylviane Agacinski. L'homme moderne veut dominer la nature, changer sa nature, et s'affranchir de la chair, de la mort et de la génération sexuée. Grâce à la puissance scientifique et technique, certains rêvent de changer de corps et de produire leur descendance en laboratoire. L'homme futur sera-t-il sexuellement indifférencié&#8239;? Naîtra-t-il sans père ni mère&#8239;? Aux dépens de qui&#8239;?À la veille du débat au Parlement, et alors que la 'bioéthique'semble perdre tout repère, ce Tract nous alerte sur les dangers d'un ultralibéralisme dont le modèle, en ce domaine, est la Californie.

Abstract

"This collection of poetry both reflects and creates attitudes that we now regard as characteristic of our age - the crisis of nationhood and the burden of citizenship. Ebi Yeibo's White Masks unambiguously exposes the dystopian nightmares of a nation and a people's willing detachment from humanity. While some poets of his generation are content with dreaming of an ideal world, in White Masks, Yeibo, through the resources of memory, experiments with the idea of a better world."--Back cover.

Abstract

La philosophie contemporaine et la phénoménologie du corps, en visant à rendre le corps plus multiple, plus habité par l'altérité y compris technique (Derrida, J.-L. Nancy), ont fait évoluer profondément le problème du lien entre âme et corps. Ces perspectives ont introduit dans le débat d'origine cartésienne des variantes liées à l'art, l'écriture et l'environnement. Orient et Occident se retrouvent ainsi confrontés à un corps aux multiples « décors », qui le spécifient, l'entourent, l'enrichissent.

Abstract

La culture occidentale contemporaine imprégnée par l'idéal de la maîtrise et le diktat de la performance perçoit le corps vulnérable comme une tare à bannir, à cacher ou à travestir. L'objectif consiste à ce que l'humanité puisse se libérer de sa vulnérabilité physique, préserver son corps de l'exposition à la souffrance, au vieillissement, à la maladie et, enfin, à la mort grâce à la maîtrise scientifique du vivant. Le transhumanisme du XXIe siècle s'est fait le champion de cette lutte contre la vulnérabilité du corps en prophétisant l'euthanasie de la mort. En réaction à cette culture ambiante, le champ de l'éthique dite « de la vulnérabilité » s'est largement développé. Toutefois, il est encore souvent abordé à partir de l'autonomie du sujet en refusant de réfléchir à la dépendance ontologique de l'être humain. La question essentielle de ce livre n'est pas, même si elle est importante, de savoir comment le sujet autonome doit se comporter à l'égard d'une personne en situation de vulnérabilité (comment établir une société capable de l'intégrer). Elle consiste plutôt à se demander si l'être humain en tant que tel – qu'il soit bien-portant ou non – n'est pas fondamentalement vulnérable, et si cette vulnérabilité n'est pas, en dernier ressort, une « grâce ».
