Description
Embodied Epistemology As Rigorous Historical Method presents an innovative approach to historical scholarship by centering the body and sensory experience as legitimate sources of historical knowledge. Lauren Mancia argues that emotions, physical sensations, and bodily practices are not merely subjects of historical study but can serve as methodological tools for understanding the past.
This work challenges traditional epistemological frameworks in history by demonstrating how embodied knowledge enriches historical analysis and interpretation. By integrating sensory and emotional dimensions into rigorous historical methodology, Mancia provides scholars with new tools for archival research, textual analysis, and historical reconstruction.
Part of the Elements in Histories of Emotions and the Senses series, this book contributes to the growing field of sensory history and emotional history studies. It will appeal to historians, scholars of material culture, and those interested in innovative methodological approaches to understanding human experience across time.
