Convulsing Bodies

17th March 2015 | Alice Taylor

Love the cover of this book Convulsing Bodies by Mark D. Jordan; design by Anne Jordan (Stanford University Press / October 2014).

‘Foucault was famously interested in Christianity as both the rival to ancient ethics and the parent of modern discipline and was always alert to the hypocrisy and the violence in churches. Yet many readers have ignored how central religion is to his thought, particularly with regard to human bodies and how they are shaped.’ Stanford University Press

Kama Sutra

11th January 2013 | Alice Taylor

A beautifully illustrated Penguin book on Kama Sutra by a French illustrator Malika Favre.

“My approach to illustration is about paring things down as much as possible. I try and get to the essence of my subject by using as few lines and colours as it needs to convey the core of the idea.”
