Over the past decade there have been significant shifts both in
feminist approaches to the field of eating disorders and in the
ways in which gender, bodies, body weight, body management and food
are understood, represented and regulated within the dominant
cultural milieus of the early twenty-first century. Critical
Feminist Approaches to Eating Dis/Orders addresses these
developments, exploring how eating disordered subjectivities,
experiences and body management practices are theorised and
researched within postmodern and post-structuralist feminist
frameworks. Bringing together an international range of
cutting-edge, contemporary feminist research and theory on eating
disorders, this book explores how anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa
and obesity cannot be adequately understood in terms of individual
mental illness and deviation from the norm but are instead
continuous with the dominant cultural ideas and values of
contemporary cultures. This book will be essential reading for
academic, graduate and post-graduate researchers with an interest
in eating disorders and critical feminist scholarship, across a
range of disciplines including psychology, sociology, cultural
studies and gender studies as well as clinicians interested in
exploring innovative theory and practice in this field.
