Amanda Machin - Bodies Of Democracy Modes Of Embodied Politics - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Where are all the bodies? Political institutions are populated by living breathing human beings who eat sleep gesture desire and suffer. And yet participants of the political realm are often depicted as disembodied minds detached and distinct from their corporeal existence. Amanda Machin considers six embodied modes of democratic politics: representation deliberation disagreement protest occupation and counsel. Drawing on diverse thinkers such as Maurice Merleau - Ponty Michael Polanyi Simone de Beauvoir Donna Haraway and Judith Butler she offers an absorbing illustration of the ways human bodies are not only the disciplined objects of politics but the generative subjects of democracy.
