Interdisciplinary Essays on Cannibalism: Bites Here and There: Warwick Series in the Humanities

Editat de Giulia Champion
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2023
Interdisciplinary Essays on Cannibalism: Bites Here and There brings together a range of works exploring the evolution of cannibalism, literally and metaphorically, diachronically and across disciplines. This edited collection aims to promote a conversation on the evolution and the different uses of the tropes and figures of cannibalism, in order to understand and deconstruct the fascination with anthropophagy, its continued afterlife and its relation to different disciplines and spaces of discourse. In order to do so, the contributing authors shed a new light not only on the concept, but also propose to explore cannibalism through new optics and theories. Spanning 15 chapters, the collection explores cannibalism across disciplines and fields from Antiquity to contemporary speculative fiction, considering history, anthropology, visual and film studies, philosophy, feminist theories, psychoanalysis and museum practices. This collection of thoughtful and thought-provoking scholarly contributions suggests the importance of cannibalism in understanding human history and social relations.

Recenzii

"Interdisciplinary Essays on Cannibalism: Bites Here and There is a wide-ranging collection of suggestive and lively explorations of a broad variety of evocative instances of figural cannibalism. These essays make a compelling case for the prevailing relevance of the metaphor across multiple disciplines and fields of inquiry. Thoughtfully reassessing cannibalism in the light of recent theoretical perspectives and approaches, the volume’s contributors advocate spiritedly and provocatively for the concept’s enduring potential as a mode of illuminating distinct aspects of human history and socio-economic relations." Luís Madureira, Professor of African Cultural Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison
