In the twenty-first century, as the processes and objects of the production, reception, and preservation of books are increasingly inflected by digitality, it is crucial to consider how our anxieties over The Book are tied to our frequent thinking of books and bodies together. This tradition of thinking about books and bodies together, as similar in some way, is visible in the metaphoric resonances of the terms we use to talk about each---from the spine of the book to the typeface in which a book is set, to a page's header and footer---our terminology for talking about books uses our terminology for bodies. As the digital seemingly threatens to dissolve the edges of The Book as a solid, singular object, we can look to how, at slightly earlier moments, notions of The Body as similarly uniform and bounded have been already unraveled.

520 $a In the twenty-first century, as the processes and objects of the production, reception, and preservation of books are increasingly inflected by digitality, it is crucial to consider how our anxieties over The Book are tied to our frequent thinking of books and bodies together. This tradition of thinking about books and bodies together, as similar in some way, is visible in the metaphoric resonances of the terms we use to talk about each---from the spine of the book to the typeface in which a book is set, to a page's header and footer---our terminology for talking about books uses our terminology for bodies. As the digital seemingly threatens to dissolve the edges of The Book as a solid, singular object, we can look to how, at slightly earlier moments, notions of The Body as similarly uniform and bounded have been already unraveled.
520 $a In this project I consider works from a range of media---from print books to performance art to electronic literature---each of which consider books and bodies together, questioning the more traditional concepts of The Book and The Body through both form and content. I call these works corporeography, a set of objects that cut across media with shared conceptual investments that think bodies and writing together in order to disrupt our tacit assumptions about The Book and The Body simultaneously. These questionings coalesce around four key terms integral to how bodies and books come together in the lifecycle of a text: authorship (production of the text), access (distribution of the text to audiences and reception by audiences), archive (the storage and preservation of the text for future audiences) and authenticity (control over the reproduction of the text).
520 $a These terms ebb and flow in and out of focus for the objects I will consider, with particular terms being of primary importance for the media represented in each chapter. Taken together, then, these objects and their focus on books, bodies and these four key terms allow us to reflect on the anxieties we hold so viscerally about books, helping transform those anxieties into a more acceptingly permeable definition of books and bodies in the twenty-first century.
