Lost Bodies: An anthology on identity and liminal being

Lost Bodies anthology emerges from a space of in-betweenness. As we now live in a globalised world, we are seeing how identity, embodiment, and existence are constantly negotiated. Here, the authors examine their own perspectives on how the body is not merely a vessel of suffering or power but a site of transformation, vulnerability, and perhaps resilience.

Judith Butler reminds us that “the body is not a ‘being,’ but a variable boundary and exists in the liminality of how a surface whose permeability is politically regulated. In this sense, Lost Bodies becomes a collective act of reclamation and rejection for the porous borders of exclusion and belonging; silence and expression. Being in a state of flux essentially.

Lost Bodies is not only a collection to be read, but a space to feel, to reckon, and to respond. Through 15+ writers from over 10 countries these voices invite us into empathy that moves beyond reflection and into responsibility, reminding us that justice, healing, and belonging begin when we choose to listen and to act together. Via the powerful works featured from writers across the globe, we are seeing how the diversity of contemporary and creative voices in this collection resists invisibility.
