[INDOLOGY] Readings on Body Image and Body Ideals in Early South Asia

Tue Feb 4 19:57:45 UTC 2025

Particularly topical readings include:
Vidya Dehejia, The body adorned: dissolving boundaries between sacred and profane in India's art (NY, Columbia University Press), 2009;
and the catalogue
Naman Ahuja, The body in Indian art and thought (Brussels: Europalia international; Antwerp: Ludion), 2013.

Hope this helps,

How about John Powers, A Bull of a Man (Harvard).

Focus is on men and male body, showing also how the masculine ideal is always constructed in opposition to women, the female body, and femininity.
