DESCRIPTION:This symposium brings together scholars from across disciplines to explore how bodies were imagined, regulated, and materially transformed between the 16th and 18th centuries. Foregrounding com- parative, praxeological, and interdiscipli- nary approaches, the conference will encourage dialogue between historians of medicine, art and literature, social and cultural historians, anthropologists, and scholars of science and technology. Contributions will address themes such as embodied labor and skill, training and educational technologies, medical and surgical interventions, representations of bodily change, and the entanglement of corporeal practices with religious, politi- cal, and social norms. By doing so, the symposium aims to reframe the early modern body (or rather, bodies) as not a stable given but as a mutable, contested, and productive site of human experience. Moreover, it attempts to compare differ- ent practices of corporeal modification across the early modern world and to analyze their significance for past (and present) societies.
