Body Manifold: Mathematics (Mis)performed by Vitruvian and Acephalic Bodies

In discussing the history of graphic interpretations of Vitruvius’s “well-shaped man”, Salazar-Sutil notes Susan Dorothea White’s Sex Change for Vitruvian Man (2005). The work is cited as a contemporary reinterpretation that raises questions about the gender-specific nature of Western studies of human proportion and bodily geometry.
