Abstract

This successful volume – result of a symposium in the field of Gender Studies at the University of Freiburg and at the same time anniversary edition in celebration of the ten year existence of the Freiburg coordination site for Gender Studies – examines the nexus body and gender as a dynamic figuration at the intersection of various scientific discourses. The authors face the interdisciplinary challenge of a dialogue between natural and technical sciences as well as social and cultural studies, even though with in parts varying success. This volume offers exciting insights into the dynamics of bodily significations and socialized materialities to its readers, while opening manifold innovative perspectives in the field of body studies.
