It is an attempt to (re)turn attention to the body as that through which so much of our humanness is experienced, mediated, enjoyed, suffered, understood and expressed. But Covid forcibly returned us to the body in ways that none of us could ever have imagined. Perhaps Notes from the Body could not be more timely. The variety of possible bodies for which the contributors seek a voice reminds us of the multiple ways in which we may be human. Through various creative forms, the pieces in this volume present the body as, among other things: sick, violated, racialised, healed, performing, ageing, (multiply) gendered, spiritual, abused, 'disabled', broken, sexual, animalised, medical, controlled, interrupted, failing, rejected and abject. Several themes recur: humanisation and dehumanisation; the loss or recovery of agency; dignity and humiliation; violation of the bounds of self; the integrity or wholeness of the body; the body's betrayal; and mourning or celebrating the body." -- $c Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Psychic trauma $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a Disabilities $z South Africa $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a Diseases $z South Africa $v Literary collections. 650 0 $a Health $v Literary collections. 650 2 $a Health $0 (DNLM)D006262 650 7 $a Health $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00952743 650 7 $a Well-being $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01402723 655 2 $a Poetry $0 (DNLM)D055821 655 7 $a poetry. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300055931 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a PoeÌsie. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000476 700 1 $a Brown, Duncan, $d 1964- $e editor. 700 1 $a Moolman, Kobus, $e editor. 700 1 $a Sithole, Nkosinathi, $e editor. 700 1 $a Orford, Margie, $e writer of foreword. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A2680578FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
