Descripción
Sumario:In recent decades, European historiography has actively dealt with the history of the body, thus giving depth and awareness to powerful stimuli coming from the dominant culture in the affluent society. Therefore, not only the 'beautiful' body has been the object of research, but also the body of the common man, mutilated, deformed and imperfect.
