Building on the interdisciplinary character of somaesthetics and aesthetics of existence, international scholars explore these ideas through a wide range of topics ranging from care of the self and of the social self to the ethical and political challenges posed by themes as white ignorance, construction of resistances, and production of subjectivities. Given the central role played by the body in both concepts, this volume also affords particular attention to the philosophy of sexuality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDemonstrating the value of reading these two thinkers together through the adoption of radical interpretive perspectives, \u003ci\u003eFoucault's Aesthetics of Existence and Shusterman's Somaesthetics\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the potentialities and the relevance of Foucault's and Shusterman's theories, even with respect to our \u003ci\u003eactualit?\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valentina Antoniol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350384801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350384804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Valentina Antoniol","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46401535279359,"sku":"9781350384804","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1aef645-cf57-4816-a296-890ed0644614.jpg?v=1733887879","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foucaults-aesthetics-of-existence-and-valentina-antoniol-9781350384804","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
