"The Corporeal in Fragments: Body Parts in Narrative"
The body has been a popular subject of study for some time, however as the
effects of the postmodern era have influenced our perceptions of ourselves
and others, we find ourselves examining not only whole bodies, but body
parts. Looking at corporeal in fragments in narrative may well serve to
more deeply understand the whole, as well as to call into question our
tendency to break apart the notion of what a body is. This panel seeks
papers that utilize folkloristic approaches to body parts in literature and
society ranging from saints' relics to legends of organ theft.
Please send titles and 500 word abstracts by March 10, email preferred:
