DAUGE-ROTH, KATHERINE (Bowdoin C.). Project tentatively entitled "Signing the Body in Early Modern France" (the body as a literally inscribed object). The marking or writing on the body across a wide range of discourses, in an attempt to assemble and think through the theories that inform its textualization during the (long) period from the mid 16th- mid 18th centuries. Also, ways in which inscribing/ imprinting the body is construed in terms of both writing and printing; primary texts and scholarly work on birthmarks, devil's marks, stigmata, the brand and the tattoo. Most sources are from medicine, theology, demonology, and jurisprudence, and I am eager to examine a greater number of literary works that make reference to or exploit the idea of a corporeal mark; any suggestions welcome @ e-mail, <kdauge@bowdoin.edu>.
