Conference: Transforming Spirit Bodies Transforming Spirit Bodies: Changing Materialities and Embodied Dependencies The interdisciplinary conference focuses on the bodies and embodiments of spirits, their (im-)materialities, and the bodily transformations, which they may be subject to in different socio-cultural contexts. Contributions analyze the embodied experiences of asymmetrical dependencies among humans and spirits and how the sensory experiences of interdependence are negotiated in their interactions. They examine and compare the particular (historical) moments and conditions under which these bodily transformations occur and how they can influence understandings of human–nonhuman interdependence. https://www.uni-bonn.de/de/veranstaltungen/conference-transforming-spirit-bodies https://www.uni-bonn.de/++resource++plone-logo.svg
