Studying their kaleidoscopically strange, moving, humorous, disturbing, and imaginative pages not only enables a window into relationships among bodies, images, and things in the past but also in our own internet era, where surprisingly popular memes drawn from such manuscripts constitute a part of our own visual culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn negotiating theoretical, post-theoretical, and historical concerns, this book aims to contribute to an emerging and much-needed intersectional social history of art. It will be of interest to scholars working in art history, medieval studies, Renaissance\/early modern studies, gender studies, the history of the book, posthumanism, aesthetics, and the body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46929227972759,"sku":"9780367504540","price":3818.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367504540.webp?v=1771598517","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-book-of-hours-and-the-body-somaesthetics-posthumanism-and-the-uncanny-9780367504540","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
