Bodies beyond Binaries
in Colonial and Postcolonial Asia
De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
"Bodies beyond Binaries' advances the historiographical debate around the body in colonial and postcolonial Asia. Opening new research avenues that go beyond the binaries that have sometimes permeated previous scholarly contributions, this book explores not just the direct colonial encounter, but also wider global interconnections and flows involved in the making of knowledge, cultural constructions, and ‘techniques’ of the body. Throughout the volume, critical concepts such as gender, sexuality, race, class, caste, and religion intersect and dialogue with supposedly binary categories of corporeality such as ruled and unruly, emotional and trained, mobile and confined, and respectable and deviant. Problematised and transcended, these categories reveal their ambiguous and malleable nature. Bringing together a range of contributions from established and emerging scholars working on different Asian regional and transregional foci, 'Bodies beyond Binaries' offers insights that are not simply relevant across Asia and within colonial settings, but also question Western-centric and culturally essentialist perspectives on the history of the body."
