- W4205992016 abstract "This chapter argues that Herman Melville’s <italic>Moby-Dick</italic> figures, through the lens of Ishmael’s dyspeptic narration, dietary reformers’ ideas about the connections between the stomach and the brain. The novel’s depiction of these connections brings into focus reformers’ efforts to enable individuals to view their dietary choices as shaping their mind-bodies and therefore their selves. Such choices imagine bioplasticity as rendering the self amenable to prudent and reasoned intervention. Antebellum Americans’ attempts to guide the formation of their bodies by exercising control of their diets, as <italic>Moby-Dick</italic> makes visible, made their choices about how and what they consumed a technology for sculpting the alimentary self. The chapter explores how this notion of the alimentary self intersects with race. Ultimately, this chapter argues, the novel’s depictions of ingestion, digestion, and excretion explore both the possibilities and the perils of alimentary selfhood." @default.
