This book offers interdisciplinary insights into an analysis of the concepts and practises of body and gender from the Middle Ages up to the present. The authors examine processes of "becoming a body in social space" (L. Adelson). The underlying longitudinal perspective enables Gender historians to point out the variability of gendered body discourses and to discern the wide variety of social body and gender practices of individuals as well as collectives. In which way did gendered body images concur with body performances in different ages? How did individuals and social groups relate to hegemonic cultural body and gender norms? How do "bodily experiences" and discourse on the gendered body interact with each other? How did gendered body-images specifically serve to create and support the rhetoric of political power? In relating to these questions, the questions examine not only historical discourses on the gendered body but elaborate on questions related to bodily practices, processes of condensation, affirmation or subversion of body and gender identities.
