Cultural anxieties about fatness and the attendant stigmatisation
of fat bodies, have lent a medical authority and cultural
legitimacy to what can be described as 'fat-phobia'. Against the
backdrop of the ever-growing medicalisation, pathologisation, and
commodification of fatness, coupled with the moral panic over an
alleged 'obesity epidemic', this volume brings together the latest
scholarship from various critical disciplines to challenge existing
ideas of fat and fat embodiment. Shedding light on the ways in
which fat embodiment is lived, experienced, regulated and
(re)produced across a range of cultural sites and contexts,
Queering Fat Embodiment destabilises established ideas about fat
bodies, making explicit the intersectionality of fat identities and
thereby countering the assertion that fat studies has in recent
years reproduced a white, ableist, heteronormative subjectivity in
its analyses. A critical queer examination on fatness, Queering Fat
Embodiment will be of interest to scholars of cultural and queer
theory, sociology and media studies, working on questions of
embodiment, stigmatisation and gender and sexuality.
