Places Through the Body draws on a wide range of contemporary examples and creative ideas to address such topics as: how racist ideologies are embedded in modern architechtural discourse and practice; how urban spaces make bodies disabled; how the seemingly virtual worlds of knowledge and technology are embodied; how gyms enable women body builders to make new kinds of bodies; how male bodies are placed onto the silver screen and new kinds of femininity. Here geographers, architects, anthropologists, artists, film theorists, theorists of cultural studies and psycho-analysis, among others, work alongside each other to show how places through the body take shape at a variety of scales. The authors make clear connections between bodies and places to open up surprising, as well as poignant, ways in which people move through places through the body. Introducing many novel theories of embodied places and the placing of bodies, this book opens up new conversations on BodyPlace.
