Michel Feher Bücher
Michel Feher ist ein belgischer Philosoph, dessen Werk sich mit der Natur von Macht, Politik und der internationalen Gemeinschaft auseinandersetzt. Er untersucht kritisch, wie Individuen und Gemeinschaften durch umfassendere politische und gesellschaftliche Kräfte geformt werden. Fehers philosophischer Ansatz zeichnet sich durch eine tiefe Analyse gegenwärtiger gesellschaftlicher Phänomene und ihrer historischen Grundlagen aus. Durch seine Schriften und seine redaktionelle Arbeit bietet er tiefe Einblicke in die komplexen Herausforderungen, vor denen die moderne Welt steht.
Zone 5. Fragments for a History of the Human Body. Part 3
- 576 Seiten

The forty-eight essays and photographic dossiers in these three volumes examine the history of the human body as a field where life and thought intersect. They show how different cultures at different times have entwined physical capacities and mental mechanisms in order to construct a body adapted to moral ideas or social circumstances ― the body of a charismatic citizen or a visionary monk, a mirror image of the world or a reflection of the spirit.Each volume emphasizes a particular perspective. Part 1 explores the human body’s relationship to the divine, to the bestial, and to the machines that imitate or simulate it. Part 2 covers the junctures between the body’s “outside” and “inside” by studying the manifestations ― or production ― of the soul and the expression of the emotions and, on another level, by examining the speculations inspired by cenesthesia, pain, and death. Part 3 brings into play the classical opposition between organ and function by showing how organs or bodily substances can be used to justify or challenge the way human societies function and, conversely, how political and social functions tend to make the bodies of the persons filling them the organs of a larger body
Zone 3
Fragments for a History of the Human Body, Part 1
The forty-eight essays and photographic dossiers in these three volumes examine the history of the human body as a field where life and thought intersect. They show how different cultures at different times have entwined physical capacities and mental mechanisms in order to construct a body adapted to moral ideas or social circumstances -- the body of a charismatic citizen or a visionary monk, a mirror image of the world or a reflection of the spirit. Each volume emphasizes a particular perspective. Part 1 explores the human body's relationship to the divine, to the bestial, and to the machines that imitate or simulate it. Part 2 covers the junctures between the body's "outside" and "inside" by studying the manifestations -- or production -- of the soul and the expression of the emotions and, on another level, by examining the speculations inspired by cenesthesia, pain, and death. Part 3 brings into play the classical opposition between organ and function by showing how organs or bodily substances can be used to justify or challenge the way human societies function and, conversely, how political and social functions tend to make the bodies of the persons filling them the organs of a larger body -- the social body or the universe as a whole. Among the contributors to Fragments for a History of the Human Body are Mark Elvin, Catherine Gallagher, Fran�oise H�ritier-Aug�, Julia Kristeva, William R. LaFleur, Thomas W. Laqueur, Jacques Le Goff, Nicole Loraux, Mario Perniola, Hillel Schwartz, Jean Starobinski, Jean-Pierre Vernant, and Caroline Walker Bynum.
