Écrire Le Corps : De L'antiquité À Nos Jours

The body is consubstantial to literature and art, of which it is at once the transmitter, the object and the recipient. Whether beautiful, ugly or elusive, the body does not escape the passage of time and the inflections or deployments of emotions. In addition to its own singularity, it belongs to a social, political and historical environment that constructs, shapes, elevates or destroys it.

Bringing together more than 120 authors and 150 extracts of texts from Homer to Alice Ferney, this illustrated anthology has a rich transversal scope, theological, philosophical, social, cultural, anthropological, which invites us to question our human condition.
