This book showcases a selection of current work and debates on
weight and body management practices that are being produced from
the vibrant arena of critical and postmodern approaches in the
social sciences. Weight issues have become central to Western
understandings of health and identity, but analyses of weight and
body management have often failed to contextualise weight related
issues. This timely book addresses this gap by examining three key
areas, namely, representation, identities, and practice, to explore
and interrogate how body and weight management, subjectivities,
experiences, and practices are constituted within and by the
normative discourses of contemporary western culture.
