Description
In "Choreographing History", historians of science, sexuality, the arts, and history itself focus on the body, merging the project of writing about the body with theoretical concerns in the writing of history. Contributors examine how bodies are historicized and presented as political, aesthetic, and physical entities, and demonstrate how the very structure of knowledge is affected by a sustained inquiry into the category of "body." The contributors are Mario Biagioli, Sue-Ellen Case, Susan Leigh Foster, Stephen Greenblatt, Lena Hammergren, Thomas Laqueur, John J. MacAloon, Susan McClary, Susan A. Manning, Randy Martin, Cynthia J. Novack, Peggy Phelan, Joseph Roach, Miriam Silverberg, P. Sterling Stuckey, Sharon Traweek, and Hayden White.
