History of the Body II explores the transformations of the body from the French Revolution to the First World War. Under the direction of Alain Corbin, Jean-Jacques Courtine and Georges Vigarello, this volume analyzes how material and cultural conditions have shaped the perception and experience of the body throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. It examines topics such as the influence of medicine, anatomy, physiology and gymnastics, as well as new social representations of the body and the tension between the scientific body and the body that experiences pleasure and pain.
