The book "Bodies in, as, of, with, and 'Identity and Heritage'" from the Bauhaus University offers an in-depth exploration of the concept of the body as a social and political construct. It examines how (non-)human, built, or imagined bodies are embedded in the context of identity and heritage. The contributions come from various disciplines, including architectural theory, cultural studies, and art history, and consider the body not as a fixed entity but as a dynamic epistemic subject. The volume addresses the complex relationships between body concepts and their influence on theory formation, discussing aspects such as vulnerability, emotion, appropriation, and control. Interdisciplinary case studies illustrate how bodies are linked to identity and heritage constructions, providing new perspectives on these topics.
