Reihe: Studies in Somaesthetics

This book is about bodies and discomfort. Specifically, it is about how to recognize discomfort as a motivating source for critical reflection. This book is about how people project their discomfort onto others in harmful ways that alienate, and it is also about how those who are alienated may use their discomfort to fight against those harms. Based in work from pragmatist, feminist, antiracist, queer, and disability studies, and informed by lessons from personal narratives and philosophical analysis, this book develops somaesthetics of discomfort as it examines, interrogates, and addresses issues concerning identity, normativity, and alienation.
