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.
