Bodies of Water

Water is the element that more than any other ties human beings in to the world around them - from the oceans that surround us to the water that makes up most of our bodies. Exploring the cultural and philosophical implications of this fact <i>Bodies of Water </i>develops an innovative new mode of posthuman feminist phenomenology that understands our bodies as being fundamentally part of the natural world and not separate from or privileged to it.<br/> <br/> Building on the works by Luce Irigaray Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze Astrida Neimanis's book is a landmark study that brings a new feminist perspective to bear on ideas of embodiment and ecological ethics in the posthuman critical moment.
