Eating disorders remain little understood by the public, and
sensationalist stories in the media have done little to dispel
simplistic and reductionist perspectives. This edited volume uses a
range of language-centred approaches to provide much needed
critical in-depth analysis and interdisciplinary synthesis. The
book brings together researchers from a variety of disciplinary
backgrounds - including communication and information studies,
journalism, linguistics, mental health, nursing, psychology and
public health - in a collective endeavour to explore the complex
relationship between eating disorders, public discourse and lived
experiences. Topics tackled include the use of stigmatising
narrative frames, stereotypes and metaphors; identity construction
in online spaces; the ways in which individuals affected by eating
disorders interpret media representations; and how parents write
about their experiences of caring for children with eating
disorders. The volume synthesises evidence from a range of data
types, including UK and international newspapers, social media,
online communities, blogs and forums, apps and in-depth interviews,
and reflects a variety of cultural perspectives, including those
held in the United States, the UK, Spain and Turkey. It will be of
interest to academics, practitioners, students, mental health
advocates, and anyone interested in how we make sense of eating
disorders.
