"This book, written by a team of lecturers actively researching and teaching in the field, will give you a clear introduction to the significance of the body within contemporary sociological thought. The book examines reasons behind the sociological fascination with the body and its roots in developments such as feminism and poststructuralism.
It looks at the place of the body within areas such as disability, consumption, work, and old age, and offers a critical analysis of current research in these areas." "The Body, Culture and Society is an accessible introduction to the body from a sociological perspective. The use of jargon is kept to a minimum, and each chapter provides suggestions for further reading."--BOOK JACKET.
