The Body in Everyday Life
The Body in Everyday Life
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
We all have a body, but how does it impact upon our day to day life? How we experience our bodies is at once both intensely personal and extremely public. This book sets out to explore how ordinary women, men and children talk about their bodies and how they experience them in a variety of situations. The subject is covered through four central themes--physical and emotional bodies; illness and disability; gender; and ageing.
The Body in Everyday Life is the first coherent collection of empirical research and a welcome complement to important theoretical and philosophical developments in the field of medical sociology. This volume brings together a number of leading authors and researchers culminating in a new and fresh approach to the study of the body.
