More about the book
Challenging postmodernist theories, this work emphasizes the connection between language and human bodies, arguing against the separation of language from material practices. It revisits the concept of 'historical bodies' as proposed by Marx, Darwin, and Freud, while offering a fresh perspective on language through the insights of Mikhail Bakhtin, Walter Benjamin, and contemporary materialist feminism. This approach highlights the significance of bodily experiences in understanding language and politics.
