Energetic Bodies : Sciences and Aesthetics of Strength and Strain Paperback / softback
Edited by Thomas Moser, Wilma Scheschonk
Part of the Imaginarien der Kraft series
Paperback / softback
Description
Throughout the fin de siecle, "energy" was a buzzword that was used far beyond the boundaries of the sciences to negotiate the formative scope as well as limits of Western modernity.
The human body was positioned at the center of the visualization of this enigmatic drive of all movement in discourses on labor and economics, physical culture, sport, art, and literature.
It was through the body that this all-pervading and conditioning physical principle as well as its perceptual qualities were to be made tangible.
This volume is dedicated to these "energetic bodies." The transdisciplinary individual contributions trace body scenarios of force and energy over the course of history from 1800 to the peak phase around 1900 and up to the present.
