È il tempo della guerra partigiana: la campagna jugoslava è attraversata da truppe di giovani volontari che raggiungono il fronte per respingere gli occupanti nazisti. La casa di Ljuba e Jovan diventa rifugio per i feriti e per le truppe a riposo. Un giorno, un giovane partigiano viene affidato alle cure di Ljuba: l’incontro risveglia nella donna il ricordo della vita in pace, dell’amore e con esso il desiderio di un futuro lontano dal duro lavoro legato alla terra. Un romanzo che racconta la guerra sulla pelle dei giovani che la combattono e la subiscono, e una terra dove memorie e silenzi abitano le notti trascorse in attesa di un cambiamento che tarda a venire. How is the body articulated in language and discourse? How is the body articulated as discourse? How do individuals and the media represent and define relationships between the body and selves? The eleven new chapters in this book explore how 'discourses of the body' - in talk, text and other semiotics - sustain moral, ideological and practical positions. Using a wide range of data from both private and public contexts, Discourse, the Body and Identity brings different forms of linguistic and multi-modal analysis to bear on these questions. It draws on and develops concepts and methods from sociolinguistics, sociology, social psychology and cultural theory. Together, these approaches explore body representations and embodied action for the purposes of, for example, instruction, display, and personal story telling. The volume brings together research on representations of bodily ageing, gendered bodies, bodies at risk, ill and disabled bodies, but also bodies at play and narcissistic body The 'body' and 'discourse' seem diametrically opposed, but we interact with our bodies and represent ourselves and our relationships in bodily terms. This volume integrates new studies by leading researchers in sociolinguistics, sociology, social psychology and cultural theory. It explores the many interfaces of body and discourse, organized under three main themes: the body as an interactional resource; ideological representations of the body; and discursive constructions of the body in normal and pathological contexts
