Beschreibung
Reflecting developments in consumer culture, medical technology, identity politics, ecological awareness, genetic engineering and bio-politics, 'the body' has become one of the fastest growing, most influential, and most contested subjects in the social sciences and humanities.
Comprising cutting edge contributions from Europe, America and Asia, this collection brings together a series of theoretical, methodological and empirical analyses by leading international exponents of body studies and a new generation of scholars concerned with exploring the structural, interactional and phenomenological features of human embodiment.
Connecting the concerns of classical sociologists to new advances in social theory, anthropology, feminism and social research - and introducing for the first time the study of 'body pedagogics' - this volume takes the sociological study of the body in an exciting new direction and opens up new horizons for the sociological imagination.

"I found this volume extremely motivating. The broad scope for embodying sociology is well represented through the range of contributions, and the vast possibilities for future work in this area are highlighted." (Medical Sociology , July 2008)
