- Description
- This book highlights the reciprocal bond between the soma and the techne of 'the body' and the techniques in which bodies are formed and transformed as crafted responses to the world around us. Structured around the themes of the governance of social bodies, the gendering of sexed bodies and the techniques associated with the formation of the self, 'Somatechnics' presents a study of body modification. The contributors to the book pay also attention to the work of Spinoza, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Deleuze, Braidotti, Butler and Guattari.
