The Stained Body

A Fusion of Embodied Art on Rape and Love

Jeanine Marie Minge

University of South Florida

This fusion of embodied art combines painting, autoethnographic narrative, and poetry to understand the way the body stores the memory of rape and love. The author defines the fusion of embodied art as the process of inquiry that adds depth of emotion, perception, sensory detail, meaning, and creation of meaning to both the lived and the recreated experience through the blending of various art forms. Through the exploration of life-crushing moments, the author hopes to both define and transform the body as a site of knowledge, a source of desire and confinement.

Key Words: fusion of embodied art • autoethnography • rape • arts-based inquiry
