Description
Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self by Stacy Alaimo explores how material forces shape our understanding of human bodies. Drawing on feminist theory, environmental studies, and the sciences, Alaimo examines trans-corporeality, or movement across bodies and nature, which has profoundly altered our sense of self. By considering a broad range of creative and philosophical writings, Alaimo illuminates how science, politics, and culture intersect, while highlighting the closeness of the human body to the environment. This thought-provoking work sheds light on the complex relationships between material forces and human bodies in today's world.
