Ullrich Haase – Understanding the Historical Body

Here is the fourth of our recordings from The British Society for Phenomenology’s 2018 workshop 'Embodied Subjects: Phenomenology, Literature, and the Health Humanities'. Dr Ullrich Haase is Principle Lecturer in the Department of History, Politics and Philosophy at Manchester Metropolitan University; and he is the editor of the Journal of the British Society for Phenomenology. His paper is titled ‘Understanding the Historical Body’. The workshop took place in Manchester, UK, during the summer of 2018, and gathered together philosophers, literary scholars, phenomenologists, and practitioners to discuss the significance of embodiment for the health humanities.
