Focusing on the sociological embodiment of various "social actors,"
the authors consider the subsequent links with the constraints of
daily life i.e. the male body, female therapists, body builders,
marital and sexual counsellors, sex workers. They present recent or
new research findings on aspects of the body, variants from what is
conventionally seen as "natural" and consider and question aspects
of self-image versus society's expectations. A number of
developments in discussions of the body on such topics as feminist
thought, the study of health and illness and cultural theory are
presented as a series of essays which demonstrate the variety of
interests mentioned.; The book is aimed at
undergraduates/postgraduates students and lecturers in sociology,
cultural studies, women's and gender studies.
