Subject: Upcoming anthropology seminar @ the University of Roehampton
Please join us this Thursday (December 6th) for our CRESIDA (Centre for Research in Evolutionary, Social & Inter-Disciplinary Anthropology) seminar at 4.15pm at the University of Roehampton. (Room G070, Parkstead House, Holybourne Avenue, London, SW15 4JD)
Thursday, December 6th: Dr Rebecca Lynch (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine)
'Mastering the body: Willpower and surgery for urinary control'
In Britain, as well as many other cultures, the contemporary version of the ideal body tends to be thought of as toned, lean, and firm. Because this popular ideal is usually only something that can be achieved through attention and dedication, it physically demonstrates successful and focused commitment. In this way, what is deemed to be a healthy body is both a potential symbol of, and a means to be, in control. In contrast, a flabby, unruly, or overweight body is conceived of as relating to weak willpower. Taking up these ideas in relation to the biomedical illness category of female urinary incontinence (UI) and drawing on accounts from NHS patients, I examine the work that goes into firstly living with, and then treating UI, and how these link to ideas of control and autonomy. Noting the strong moral dimensions to the intersection of notions of control, the body and its boundaries, and health, I explore how the body itself becomes a site of work, linking to self-worth and value, and ask how we might better incorporate the changing ageing body into our analysis of health and medicine.
