This collection offers a uniquely comprehensive guide to the sociology of the body. With a strong historical scope and conceptual framework, it provides an indispensible reference for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and a robust source for scholars working in the area. The central focus is on understanding sociology through the body; what is often described as re-reading sociology in a 'more corporeal light'. This is an interdisciplinary process, drawing on history, feminism, cultural history, art history, anthropology, social psychology, philosophy, medical sociology and media and communications, as well as sociology. While this has been primarily a Western practice, The Body seeks to broaden the perspective to include references that draw on alternative cultural assumptions, beliefs and practices (including Japan, and South America.)
There is currently a lively debate ongoing in society about the
nature of trust and the conditions necessary to establish and
sustain it. Given the role of trust in bridging uncertainty, it is
perhaps not surprising that as our consciousness of risk has
increased, the role and nature of trust in social practices has
come under growing scrutiny. These developments are particularly
relevant to health because participation in health practices is
arguably based on and engendered through trust. There is thus a
need for empirically based research, which intelligently unravels
this complexity to support all stakeholders in the health arena.
This multidisciplinary volume of work addresses this gap by
contributing substantively to the exploration of trust in the
experience, practice and organization of health. It offers an
overview of recent scholarship, based on empirical research, which
explores the significance of trust in relation to key
health-related issues. At the same time, this text examines
conceptual themes in relation to trust more generally, including
the relationship between trust and auditing, consent, expert
knowledges and social capital.
