異邦の身体

by Alphonso Lingis

Foreign Bodies explores forms of power, pleasure and pain, and libidinal identity through contemporary philosophical thought on the body. Informed by physiology, psychoanalysis and ethical theory, the book asks how we have elaborated the bodies we inhabit, how we experience our own powers of perception, our postures, attitudes, gestures and purposive action, and how cultures code our sensuality, our susceptibility to pain and our excitability by pleasure.
