In recent years the body has become one of the most popular areas
of study in the arts, social sciences and humanities. Transgressive
Bodies offers an examination of a variety of non-normative bodies
and how they are represented in film, media and popular culture.
Examining the non-normative body in a cultural studies context,
this book reconsiders the concept of the transgressive body ,
establishing its status as a culturally mutable term, arguing that
popular cultural representations create the transgressive or freak
body and then proceed to either contain its threat or (s)exploit
it. Through studies of extreme bodybuilding, obesity, disability
and transsexed bodies, it examines the implications of such
transgressive bodies for gender politics and sexuality.
Transgressive Bodies engages with contemporary cultural debates,
always relating these to concrete studies of media and cultural
representations. This book will therefore appeal to scholars across
a range of disciplines, including media and film studies, cultural
studies, gender studies, sociology, sports studies and cultural
theory.
