The presence of the phenomenological body is central to music in all of its varieties and contradictions. With the explosion of scholarly works on the body in virtually every field in the humanities, the social as well as the biomedical sciences, the question of how such a complex understanding of the body is related to music, which has its own complexity, has been investigated within specific disciplinary perspectives. The present handbook brings together these particular aspects of such relationships in a broad context and provides a platform for the discussion of the multidimensional interfaces of music and the body. This introduction first discusses the multiple definitions of the body and raises a set of fundamental questions in the general context of body studies. Thereafter, it contextualizes the topic within the discourse of musicology and identifies six different yet related aspects of music and the body, namely, the moving and performing body, the brain and psyche, embodied mind and embodied rhythm, the disabled and sexual body, music as medicine, and the multimodal body.

With the explosion of scholarly works on the body in virtually every field in the humanities, the social as well as the biomedical sciences, the question of how such a complex understanding of the body is related to music, with its own complexity, has been investigated within specific disciplinary perspectives. The Oxford Handbook of Music and the Body brings together these particular aspects of such relationships in a broad context and provides a platform for the discussion of the multidimensional interfaces of music and the body. It is organized into six sections, each discussing the topics that define the field: the moving and performing body; the musical brain and psyche; embodied mind, embodied rhythm; the disabled and sexual body; music as medicine; and the multimodal body. Connecting a wide array of diverse perspectives and presenting a survey of research and practice highlighting different facets, the Handbook provides an introduction into the rich world of music and the body.

The article shows that Michel Foucault's account of the sexual body is not a naive return to a prediscursive body, nor does it amount to discourse reductionism and to the exclusion of experience, as some feminists have argued. Instead, Foucault's idea of bodies and pleasures as a possibility of the counterattack against normalizing power presupposes an experiential understanding of the body. The experiential body can become a locus of resistance because it is the possibility of an unpredictable event.

Objective: Our body is at the same time a biological and a sexological body. Biological body is innate and based on our genes and their capacity to express and realize their potentials. Our sexual body is acquisite and is related to our education and learning and our capacity to decode and read the external world. Our sexological body is a lot more than our biological body. Our aim is to differentiate the two bodies and the better understand and handle sexual misunderstanding and sexual difficulties. Design and Method: Sexuality as acted and performed is the resulting and final step of a complex interaction of different forces. By means of the observation of the physical and sexual body and its position in the space, its rhythms and its tonicity it is possible to relate to the emotions that live inside and pass through the human being. And, on the contrary, acting on the body, modifying its posture and its movements is possible to influence sexual sensations and feelings. Results: Observing and acting on the physical body is useful in influencing and positively modifying the individual sexual emotional and psychological mind, and to lessen sexual distress or to resolve sexual impairment. Conclusions: Biological and emotional body are tightly related. The observation and the analysis of one body reflect the other as well as the intervention on one of the two bodies can influence and transform the other one. This can lead to important results and clinical applications.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] My dissertation includes a critical introduction and a manuscript of poetry. The critical introduction, "There was no warm body in what you wrote": Redefining the Gurlesque via Patricia Lockwood's Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals' uses the contemporary poet Patricia Lockwood to argue for the expansion of Gurlesque poetics. First, I establish how Lara Glenum and Arielle Greenberg define the Gurlesque. Then, I demonstrate that Lockwood is a Gurlesque poet, and that her treatment of the body in various manifestations--the sexual body, the grotesque body, the traumatized body--complicates these poetics. I argue that while Glenum and Greenberg's conceptualization of the Gurlesque necessitates a transparent relationship between writing about the body and meaning about the body, Lockwood's poetry shows that writing about the body can generate meaning across, through, tangential, and aside from the body. Via the lens of the Gurlesque, then, Lockwood's poetry illuminates the multiple opportunities for meaning in women's body-writing. My manuscript of poetry, "The Imaginary Age,"� is divided into three parts, and might be described as a neo-confessional, gurlesque poetry that is especially invested in the bestiary and the elegy.

Abstract Comprehensive accounts of resource-rational attempts to maximise utility shouldn't ignore the demands of constructing utility representations. This can be onerous when, as in humans, there are many rewarding modalities. Another thing best not ignored is the processing demands of making functional activity out of the many degrees of freedom of a body. The target article is almost silent on both.
