The contributors to this book are fascinated by ?disembodied heads?, which are pursued in their many medieval and early modern disguises and representations, including the metaphorical. They challenge the question why in medieval and early modern cultures the head was usually considered the most important part of the body, a primacy only contested by the heart for religious reasons. Carefully mapping beliefs, mythologies and traditions concerning the head, the result is an attempt to establish a ?cultural anatomy? of the head, which is relevant for cultural historians, art historians and students of the philosophy, art and sciences of the premodern period. Contributors include Barbara Baert, Esther Cohen, Mateusz Kapustka, Arjan R. de Koomen, Robert Mills, Marina Montesano, Scott B. Montgomery, Catrien Santing, Jetze Touber, and Bert Watteeuw. 410 0$aIntersections$v28. 606 $aHead$xSocial aspects$vCongresses 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHead$xSocial aspects 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects 676 $a306.4 701 $aBaert$b Barbara$0602514 701 $aTraninger$b Anita$0480380 701 $aSanting$b Catrien$0939165 712 02$aAcademia Belgica (Rome, Italy) 712 02$aRoyal Dutch Institute. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453012103321 996 $aDisembodied heads in medieval and early modern culture$92116949 997 $aUNINA
