Overview
The relations of mind and body, and the perceptions of those relations, are important for the definition of humanity at the broadest level in all cultures. Questions of the body have been a major theme not only in the history of European culture, but in many other cultures described in the ethnographic record. This book aims to cover a part of its cross-cultural record using an approach developed in the 1980s within medical anthropology, the 'mindful body' approach.Book Details
