'Foundations' traces the use of physical remnants of the body in the form of relics or memorial monuments that replicate the form of the body as foundational in communal structures; 'Performing the Body' focuses on the ways in which the individual body functions as the medium through which the social body is maintained; 'Bodily Rhetoric' explores the poetic linkage of body and meaning; and 'Material Bodies' engages with the processes of corporeal being, ranging from the energetic flow of humoural liquids to the decay of the flesh.Together, the essays provide new perspectives on the centrality of the medieval body and underscore the vitality of this rich field of study. 606 $aHuman body$xSocial aspects$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aHuman body$xSymbolic aspects$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aIdentity (Psychology)$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aIndividuality$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCommunity life$zEurope$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHuman body in literature 606 $aHuman figure in art 606 $aCivilization, Medieval$vSources 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHuman body$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aHuman body$xSymbolic aspects$xHistory 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology)$xHistory 615 0$aIndividuality$xHistory 615 0$aCommunity life$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHuman body in literature. 615 0$aHuman figure in art. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval 676 $a940.1 700 $aAkbari$b Suzanne Conklin, $0856712 702 $aRoss$b Jill$f1961- 702 $aAkbari$b Suzanne Conklin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453049203321 996 $aThe ends of the body$91913366 997 $aUNINA
