Phenomenology of the Broken Body Hardback
Edited by Espen Dahl, Cassandra Falke, Thor Eirik Eriksen
Part of the Routledge Research in Phenomenology series
Hardback
Description
Some fundamental aspects of the lived body only become evident when it breaks down through illness, weakness or pain.
From a phenomenological point of view, various breakdowns are worth analyzing for their own sake, and discussing them also opens up overlooked dimensions of our bodily constitution.
This book brings together different approaches that shed light on the phenomenology of the lived body—its normality and abnormality, health and sickness, its activity as well as its passivity.
The contributors integrate phenomenological insights with discussions about bodily brokenness in philosophy, theology, medical science and literary theory.
Phenomenology of the Broken Body demonstrates how the broken body sheds fresh light on the nuances of embodied experience in ordinary life and ultimately questions phenomenology’s preunderstanding of the body.
