Utilizing personal narratives and work from pragmatist, feminist, queer, and disability studies, this book develops somaesthetics of discomfort as an approach to critical reflection for addressing issues concerning identity, normativity, and alienation.

This book is about bodies and discomfort. Specifically, it is about how to recognize discomfort as a motivating source for critical reflection. This book is about how people project their discomfort onto others in harmful ways that alienate, and it is also about how those who are alienated may use their discomfort to fight against those harms. Based in work from pragmatist, feminist, antiracist, queer, and disability studies, and informed by lessons from personal narratives and philosophical analysis, this book develops somaesthetics of discomfort as it examines, interrogates, and addresses issues concerning identity, normativity, and alienation.

M.D. Tschaepe is Professor of Philosophy at Prairie View A&M University and is co-editor-in-chief of The Journal of Somaesthetics and philosophy editor for Bridge (Chicago, Illinois). They are interested in somaesthetics and queering critical approaches to experience and inquiry.
