Corpus
Corpus begins with the argument that traditional disciplines are unable to fully apprehend the body and embodiment and that critical study of these topics urgently demands interdisciplinary approaches. The collection's 14 previously unpublished essays grapple with the place of bodies in a range of twenty-first century knowledge practices, including trauma, surveillance, aging, fat, food, feminist technoscience, death, disability, biopolitics, and race, among others. The book's projected audience includes teachers and scholars of bodies and embodiment, interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners, and scholars interested in the any of the substantive content covered in the book. The collection could be adopted in courses on the body at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels, including: cultural studies; queer, gender and sexuality studies; body and power; biopolitics; intersectional approaches to the body; anthropology of the body; sociology of the body; embodiment and space; digital bodies; anthropology of knowledge production; health, illness, and medicine studies; science, knowledge, and technology studies; and philosophy and social theory.

Core
Health magazines, gym-class instructors, and YouTube fitness experts frequently speak of the importance of a strong core, the muscles at our body’s center that provide stability and support our movement. It has been suggested that improved core function can reduce symptoms of lower back and pelvic pain, incontinence, and breathing issues. But while the core may be well-known, it is still poorly understood: there is no universally agreed-upon definition of the core or the muscles it comprises.Core adopts a holistic yet practical approach to demystifying the core, focusing on both its physical significance to bodily movement and its central role in our overall well-being. While physical therapy and core-exercise regimens tend to emphasize strength building and stable posture, clinician and educator Owen Lewis argues for an approach that is also flexible, fluid, and adaptable. He emphasizes functional training and underlying principles over a static list of exercises, providing the groundwork for tailored, individual training to improve core function. Supplemented throughout with color photos and a diverse range of models, Core makes it easy to understand the anatomy of this crucial region of the body, as well as key principles for more effective and safe exercises and training regimens.Lewis clearly explains how the core works to manage and transfer the force of movement through the center of the body, building on principles of biotensegrity (how the tension and compression of different muscles creates a balanced structure that distributes stress and strain). The final chapters of the book provide a range of useful, functional training exercises suitable for lay readers but especially helpful as examples for therapists and trainers to use with clients.

Corpus
Der Sammelband legt seinen Fokus auf Körper und Korpora der Romania. Er schlägt somit eine Brücke zwischen der wissenschaftlichen Beschäftigung mit dem menschlichen Leib in seiner kulturellen sowie literarischen Relevanz und der Untersuchung von Textsammlungen und Aufnahmen, die die sprachliche Diversität des Kulturraums inkarnieren. Er behandelt den Körper in Aufführungskontexten, im Rahmen der Identitätskonstruktion, im Spannungsfeld machtpolitischer Interessen sowie in Hinblick auf die Historizität seiner Bewertung und er lotet die Möglichkeiten der Korpusanalyse und -planung aus. Mit Beiträgen aus der hispanistischen, galloromanistischen, italianistischen, katalanistischen und rumänistischen Sprach-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft.
