“Hunter offers a series of interpretations for these interactions between bodies and environments from the perspective of the moving body. … Hunter’s admiration for new materialism is a defining characteristic of her book. … Hunter’s wide-ranging analysis marks a welcome contribution to a challenging set of conversations.” (Lucy Weir, Studies in Costume & Performance, Vol. 7 (1), 2022)
