The body has become an increasingly significant concept in
recent years and this Reader offers a stimulating overview of the
main topics, perspectives and theories surrounding the issue. This
broad consideration of the body presents an engagement with a range
of social concerns, from the processes of racialization to the
vagaries of fashion and performance art, enacted as surgery on the
body. Individual sections cover issues such as:
- the body and social (dis)order
- bodies and identities
- bodily norms
- bodies in health and dis-ease
- bodies and technologies.
Containing an extensive critical introduction, contributions
from key figures such as Butler, Sedgwick, Martin Scheper-Huges,
Haraway and Gilroy, and a series of introductions summarizing each
section, this Reader offers students a valuable practical guide and
a thorough grounding in the fascinating topic of the body.
