“Embodied Entanglements: Gender, Identity, and the Corporeal in Asia.” Edited by Halina Zawiszová, Giorgio Strafella, and Martin Lavička
We are excited to announce the publication of a new edited monograph, “Embodied Entanglements: Gender, Identity, and the Corporeal in Asia.” Edited by Halina Zawiszová, Giorgio Strafella, and Martin Lavička from the Department of Asian Studies at Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic.
This book highlights complex links and interactions that bind these three interpretative axes. Cutting across the quotidian and the avant-garde, activism and art, violence and pleasure, as well as the intimate and the political, it sheds new light on Asian cultures and societies, spanning India, Indonesia, Japan, mainland China, Taiwan, and Thailand, affirming thus the region’s significance in broader debates on biopolitics, gender, and human dignity.
The book represents the third volume in our Olomouc Asian Studies series. As such, it was published both as a physical book and as an open-access e-book, which means you can download and read it for free. You can find the direct link to the publication here: https://doi.org/10.5507/ff.25.24465821.
