Investigating the current interest in obesity and fatness, this
book explores the problems and ambiguities that form the lived
experience of 'fat' women in contemporary Western society. Engaging
with dominant ideas about 'fatness', and analysing the assumptions
that inform anti-fat attitudes in the West, The 'Fat' Female Body
explores the moral panic over the 'obesity epidemic', and the
intersection of medicine and morality in pathologising 'fat'
bodies. It contributes to the emerging field of fat studies by
offering not only alternative understandings of subjectivity, the
(re)production of public knowledge(s) of 'fatness', and politics of
embodiment, but also the possibility of (re)reading 'fat' bodies to
foster more productive social relations.
