Abstract:
Contemporary European theories have focused attention on corporeity, its surface excitations and passions, and even on politically constructed bodies – how do men and women “carry their bodies”. The great variety of such claims suggests transformations in theoretical thinking, yet such changes were already articulated at another level by phenomenological studies: kinesthetic body. It is obvious that to speak of corporeity is possible only on the basis of analyses of corporeal movements. Thus, the aim of this essay is to disclose the structures of bodily movements, constituting the basis of pri

Abstract:
Within the vast bibliography devoted to martyrdom in Islam the issue of the martyr’s corporeity has received comparatively little attention. This article focuses on the exceptional features medieval texts ascribed to martyrs’ bodies, especially after their death on the battlefield. It examines a set of topoi through which Islamic religious literature differentiated these martyrs from other dead, using a sublimate and extraordinary corporeity as a sign of their spiritual excellence. Finally, the article takes into account some extreme developments of this attitude, well-represented in a ḥadīṯ (

O presente artigo pretende levantar alguns subsídios teóricos que possibilitem fundamentar uma concepção de corpo intensivo, ou seja, uma abordagem do universo corporal enquanto uma espécie de metafenômeno, privilegiando autores que construíram os seus pensamentos à luz da primazia da intensidade sobre a representação e da relevância maior da diferença sobre as identidades. Esta dimensão da corporeidade comparece em obras tais como as de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, com o conceito de corpo sem órgãos, e no pensamento de José Gil, na noção de corpo paradoxal.

The aim of this article is to demonstrate the intrinsically technical nature of visual perception and pictorial performance through their common anchorage in the corporeity that brings them into existence. As with any other artistic technique, painting reveals itself to be the natural extension of a technological attitude already rooted in the sensorimotor devices of the body in action; painting is led to inhabit a world that is of the same nature as corporeal agents, because the objects that populate it share with it the ontological element of the “flesh”.

For this purpose the author has collaborated with choreographers in a practice-based approach to examine how the body of the composer can be exploited in composition and performance, and how the voice can be exploited as a mediator between body movement and music.

This thesis queries whether a relationship between bodies in texts and the narratology and stylistics of texts might be reconceived beyond metaphor. Specifically, it examines the textual politics arising from the representation of ambiguously-bounded bodies. Each of the four contemporary women's novels that I examine represents disorderly bodies in the first-person narrative voice, and the implications of this for considerations of identity, agency and feminism are considered.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how the voice carries different meanings in early Greek conceptions of corporeality, contrasting Homer with later writers such as Plato. Sampson argues that both the notion of an autonomous subjectivity and an autophonous voice expressing this self are absent from the Homeric texts. Sampson shows how in Homer voices are said to flow through the speakers like rivers of breath, and reveals a heterophony of voices in the Iliad and the Odyssey: those of mortals and immortals, humans, animals, and even natural forces. The chapter uses such a detour into a distant past to complicate modern notions of subjectivity, and to open up alternative conceptions of corporeality and life within contemporary post-human thinking.

Abstract:
The introduction offers an overview of a wide spectrum of approaches to studying intermediality in the context of Eastern European cinemas, from concept-based studies to analyses of films, and the stylistic devices of intermediality. It presents the way in which the poetics of intermediality can reflect not only the correlations between arts and media, but also between art and life, corporeality and abstraction. The relevance of intermediality is that it enables us to grasp the complexity of reality and culture, to observe various tensional states of in-betweenness, along with anxieties, relations of power and conflict that define life in Eastern Europe. The introduction outlines some of the main figurations of intermediality or 'strategies of in-betweenness’ which have significantly shaped the aesthetic of contemporary Eastern European films followed by a brief summary of each chapter in this volume.

Specifically, the author stresses the importance of approaching popular representations of the so-called “body in transit”, as this shifting idea of corporeality reflects contemporary anxieties and interests fueled by the relationship between physical bodies, computing technologies and gender representation. For this purpose, this work will focus on the notion of the fluid body or “body in transit” as represented in US popular Sci-Fi cinema to contend that this posthuman figuration is still informed by gendered practices and dominant structures of power, despite its hybrid nature.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter reads the fantastical sex-change and longevity in Woolf’s Orlando in relation to contemporary experiments on the genetic and developmental determination of sex, notably the concept of heterochrony. The chapter argues that Orlando’s transformation from man to woman should be read literally, as a metamorphic change in the protagonist’s body; the embodied nature and the specific manifestations of the metamorphosis are designed to counter the recapitulatory plot that inheres in sexological discourses of the day. The corporeality of the Orlando’s development is rarely acknowledged in queer and feminist studies, which tend to emphasise gender and performance at the expense of sex and embodiment. By linking Woolf’s novel to contemporary biology, I complicate this common view and provide a positive alternative to the correlative argument that Orlando’s sex change amounts to a mere wish-fulfillment fantasy.
