Description

The body is a rich object for aesthetic inquiry. We aesthetically assess both our own bodies and those of others; and our felt bodily experiencesmdash;as we eat; have sex; and engage in other everyday activitiesmdash;have aesthetic qualities. The body; whether depicted or actively performing; features centrally in aesthetic experiences of visual art; theatre; dance and sports.Body aesthetics can be a source of delight for both the subject and the object of the gaze. But aesthetic consideration of bodies also raises acute ethical questions: the body is deeply intertwined with ones identity and sense of self; and aesthetic assessment of bodies can perpetuate oppression based on race; gender identity; sexual orientation; age; size; and disability. Artistic and media representations shape how we see and engage with bodies; with consequences both personal and political.This volume contains sixteen original essays by contributors in philosophy; sociology; dance; disability theory; critical race studies; feminist theory; medicine; and law. Contributors take on bodily beauty; sexual attractiveness; the role of images in power relations; the distinct aesthetics of disabled bodies; the construction of national identity; the creation of compassion through bodily presence; the role of bodily style in moral comportment; and the somatic aesthetics of racialized policeviolence.
