The Body Reader
Essential Social and Cultural Readings
Edited by Lisa Moore & Mary Kosut, State University of New York
Plastic surgery, obesity, anorexia, pregnancy, prescription drugs, disability, piercings, steroids and sex re-assignment surgery: over the past two decades there have been major changes in the ways we understand, treat, alter and care for our bodies. The Body Reader is a compelling, cutting-edge and timely collection that provides a close look at the emergence of the study of the body. From prenatal genetic testing and "manscaping" to televideo cybersex and the "meth economy," this innovative work digs deep into contemporary lifestyles and current events to cover key concepts and theories about the body.
A combination of twenty one classic readings and original essays, the contributors highlight gender, race, class, ability and sexuality, paying special attention to bodies that are at risk, bodies that challenge norms and media representations of the body. Ultimately, The Body Reader makes it clear that the body is not neutral - it is the entry point into cultural and structural relationships, emotional and subjective experiences, and the biological realms of flesh and bone.
