Summary

"This is a book about falling - physical, metaphorical and psychological - as a means to reconfigure our relationship with living and dying. Emilyn Claid draws inspiration from her personal and professional experiences to explore alternative approaches to the interplay of body and gravity. Woven throughout, autobiographical, poetic, philosophical, descriptive and theoretical voices combine to question the fixation of Western culture on uprightness and supremacy. A simple act of falling builds momentum through eclectic discussions, uncovering connections to shame, laughter, trauma, race, gender, ageing and the thrill of release." -- back cover
