Zusammenfassung:"Sociology of the Body: A Reader brings together 48 essays exploring the multitude of ways in which human bodies shape and are shaped by society. The volume is organized thematically in 16 sections, each consisting of three essays. Each section begins with a detailed introduction in which the editors, Claudia Malacrida and Jacqueline Low, explain the essential historical context, offer insight into the readings that follow, and underline the connections between them. Throughout these introductory essays, terms and concepts specific to the discipline are highlighted and explained. Together, these features make Sociology of the Body an invaluable text for upper-level undergraduate courses not only in sociology but in gender and cultural studies as well as kinesiology and nursing."--BOOK JACKET.
