Excellent- More about Energetic Bodies: Sciences and Aesthetics of Strength and Strain
Energy was a buzzword used to negotiate the formative scope and limits of Western modernity, with the human body positioned at the center of its visualization. This volume explores body scenarios of force and energy from 1800 to the present.

Publisher: De Gruyter
Energy was a hot topic that went far beyond the realm of science during the late 19th century. It was used to define and discuss the boundaries of Western modernity in a variety of fields, including labor and economics, physical culture, sport, art, and literature. The human body was at the center of this visualization, as it was seen as the driving force behind all movement. The goal was to make the intangible physical principle and its perceptual qualities tangible through the body.
This volume is dedicated to these energetic bodies. The individual contributions in this book span various disciplines and trace body scenarios of force and energy throughout history, from 1800 to the peak phase around 1900 and up to the present.
The authors explore how these energetic bodies have shaped society, culture, and individual experiences. They examine the ways in which power, energy, and movement have been used to create and maintain social hierarchies, as well as how they have been resisted and transformed.
The book also highlights the role of technology in shaping the body and its relationship to energy. From the development of new energy sources to the use of technology to enhance athletic performance, the authors explore how technology has both enabled and constrained the body's ability to generate and use energy.
Overall, this volume provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of the body and its relationship to energy. It offers valuable insights into the historical, social, and cultural dimensions of energy and its impact on human life.
