Damaging the Body:
Physical Harm and the Self, 1850 - 2010
The aim of this website, the workshop on 24 September 2010 and the seminar series from Jan - May 2011 is to bring together experts from a variety of fields, including literature, history of medicine, psychology and gender studies to provoke interdisciplinary discussion of the ways in which the creation of more diverse histories of bodily damage in the nineteenth century and beyond might open up wider concerns.
