This book addresses the relationship between the body and society
in a fast-food society. Agger focuses on issues of food, exercise,
work, dieting and eating disorders, fashion, bariatric and cosmetic
surgery, and health. He addresses the dilemma that we have ample
access to abundant calories but lead lifestyles and have jobs that
for the most part do not enable us to expend those calories. He
proposes solutions, both individual and structural, that involve
re-orienting ourselves to exercise as play. The book can be used in
introductory sociology, social problems, work, sociology of sport,
gender, health and illness. The goal of this new, unique Series is
to offer readable, teachable "thinking frames" on today's social
problems and social issues by leading scholars, all in short 60
page or shorter formats, and available for view on
http://routledge.customgateway.com/routledge-social-issues.html For
instructors teaching a wide range of courses in the social
sciences, the Routledge Social Issues Collection now offers the
best of both worlds: originally written short texts that provide
"overviews" to important social issues as well as teachable
excerpts from larger works previously published by Routledge and
other presses.
