- Description
- Description of how women's heads are represented in religions and cultures. The contributors argue that the objectification of women as sexual and reproductive bodies results in their symbolic beheading. They explore how similar treatments of the female head find their articulation in diverse religious traditions and cultures: in Hindu myths of beheading, in Buddhist and Tantric practices and poetry about the hair of female nuns, in the symbolic language of women's hair in ancient Greece, in the resistance to veiling by early Christian women at Corinth, in contemporary veiling practices in a Turkish village, in the eroticization of the female mouth in ancient Judaism, and in Greek and Roman cosmetic practices.

- The essays discuss current theoretical debates with analysis of literaty and other kinds of textual representations of 'the body'. The work of Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Brontë, Dorothy Richardson, Daphne du Maurier, Alice Walker, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison and others is considered in the light of theorists as Judith Butler, Elisabeth Grosz, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Cixous and Irigaray. The essays are organised into sections which consider 'the body' from different perspectives, such as: production, consumption and reproduction: the ethics of representation: 'the body' as a foundation for contemporary identity politics: literary and cultural value: spiritualism, mysticism and transcedence.
