Embodied History
Offering a view into the lives and experiences of plebeian men and women, and an exploration of the history of the body itself, this work shows how poverty was etched and how power and discipline were enacted upon the bodies of the poor, as well as how the poor attempted to transcend such discipline through assertions of bodily agency and liberty.
