The Body and the Arts focuses on the dynamic relation between the body and the arts: the bodyas inspiration, subject, symbol and medium. Contributors from a variety of academic and artistic disciplines explorethis complex and shifting relation across a range of periods, literatures and otherart forms, spanning the subjects of medicine, literature from the classical period to the present, and the visual and performingarts, including film, dance and opera. The book engages with enduring cultural issues: the materiality of the body, the tension between actual and ideal, beauty and horror, the interconnection of the history of medicine with the cultural history of the body, the complex process of negotiation between the actual human body and the artist, and the effectof science and technology on artistic representations of the body. Thevolume includes essays by Marina Warner, AntonyGormley and P. D. James.
