Know about the book -

Agency and Embodiment is written by Carrie Noland and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674054385 (ISBN 10) and 9780674054387 (ISBN 13).

Arguing against the constructivist metaphor of bodily inscription dominant since Foucault, Noland maintains that kinesthetic experience, produced by acts of embodied gesturing, places pressure on the conditioning a body receives, encouraging variations in cultural practice that cannot otherwise be explained.
