Description:
The Word's Body integrates depth psychology and linguistic philosophy to illuminate a metaphor of the creative process, specifically the performance of literature in public or private as "the word becoming flesh." This book expands the Johannine metaphor to describe the artist/performer/preacher's work of embodying the Word: Creation, Incarnation, and Transformation/Communion: The Words becomes flesh and dwells among us. It is an answer to Susan Sontag's call for an erotics of interpretation.
