Wars and Bodies Book by Naghmeh Samini

Description

Wars and Bodies by Naghmeh Samini offers a detailed study of the semiotics of the human body in post‑war Japanese culture and cinema from 1945 to 1965. Samini examines how wars, as profound human experiences, leave deep marks on bodies, which serve as vessels of pain, memory, and social meaning. The book analyzes how injured and disabled bodies are represented symbolically in culture and film, reflecting social hierarchies, gender differences, and collective identity. It also explores cinema’s role in reconstructing memory and creating sensory experiences, showing how power, society, and cultural narratives are conveyed through the human body.
