In five wide-ranging essays, A. David Napier explores the ways in which the foreign becomes literally and metaphorically embodied as a part of cultural identity rather than being seen as something outside it. Pre-classical Greece, Baroque Italy, and Western postmodernism are among the artistic domains Napier considers, while the symbolic terrain ranges from Balinese cosmography to body symbolism in biomedicine.Napier, A. David is the author of 'Foreign Bodies: Performance, Art and Symbolic Anthropology - A. David Napier - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780520065833 and ISBN 0520065832.
