New publication: Imaginaires du corps, sensualités imaginées
Imaginaires du corps, sensualités imaginées directed by Emmanuelle Lescouet and Marie Kergoat has just been published by Wiewórka!
From the back cover (translated from the original French):
Imaginaires du corps, sensualités imaginées are the proceedings of the eponymous conference held in Rennes in 2021, at a time when the very notion of corporeality seemed to elude us.
Resolutely seeking to detach the term sensuality from the notion of sexuality, this conference, and the articles presented here, provide an opportunity to explore its boundaries while returning to the very essence of sensuality, an extraordinary bodily capacity that is too rarely addressed.
Considered the seat of the soul, the body is above all the seat of the senses, and by proposing new perspectives, imaginary fiction thus offers a definition of this complex materiality.
From fantasy to science fiction, including the fantastic, these conference proceedings offer you a transmedia gesture at the heart of the senses and bodies.
