Where Land and Body Meet: Body Culture and Nature -- Machine Body ofModern Western Medicine -- Battlefield Body in Illness Narratives -- Grotesque Body of the Lower Strata -- Monstrous Body of the Slimy Depths-- Fascist Body of the War-machine -- Writing on the Surface of the Textual Body -- Sporting Body Imprisoned in the Time-machine -- Cyborg: The Body-machine of the Civilian-soldier -- Taoist Body of the Earth -- Healthy Land, Healthy Body: State of the Environment, State of Health --.

Exploring the relationship of human bodies with nature and culture, this book looks at how humans affect their natural and cultural environments and how those environments affect humans. Examining how the body has been modelled, and the ways in which the body, disease and illness have been figured in metaphors, the book argues for an environmentally sustainable and healthy relationship between the body and the earth. The book explores: the body as machine; the body as landscape; the body as land, and land as body; the body as b1 scyborg b2 s (or cybernetic organism); and disease and illness as an invading army to be fought and defeated on the battlefield of the body. It also celebrates the body asearth or land, the grotesque body, the monstrous body and the Taoist body of Tai chi. These bodies are expressed in carnivalesque tales, eco-friendly illness narratives and health-recovery stories. Ultimately thebook explores how to make the relationship and interaction between human beings/bodies and ecosystems/ecology ecologically sustainable.
