Because language is always a reflection of culture, to attempt to erase language and knowledge practices that reflect minoritized and historically excluded cultural experiences obscures th­e legitimacy of such experiences both within and outside the academy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The pieces in \u003ci\u003eBodies of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e draw explicit attention to the impact of the body \u003ci\u003eon\u003c\/i\u003e text, the impact of the body \u003ci\u003ein\u003c\/i\u003e text, the impact of the body \u003ci\u003eas \u003c\/i\u003etext, and the impact of the body \u003ci\u003eupon\u003c\/i\u003e textual production. The contributors investigate embodied rhetorics through the lenses of race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, disability and pain, technologies and ecologies, clothing and performance, and scent, silence, and touch. In doing so, they challenge the (false) notion that academic knowledge--that is, \"real\" knowledge--is disembodied and therefore presumed white, middle class, cis-het, able-bodied, and male. This collection lays bare how myriad bodies invent, construct, deliver, and experience the processes of knowledge building. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Experts in the field of writing studies provide the necessary theoretical frameworks to better understand productive (and unproductive) uses of embodied rhetorics within the academy and in the larger social realm. To help meet the theoretical and pedagogical needs of the discipline, \u003ci\u003eBodies of Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e addresses embodied rhetorics and embodied writing more broadly though a rich, varied, and intersectional approach. These authors address larger questions around embodiment while considering the various impacts of the body on theories and practices of rhetoric and composition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors: \u003c\/i\u003e Scot Barnett, Margaret Booker, Katherine Bridgman, Sara DiCaglio, Kristie S.
