| Kurzbeschreibung
Reflecting developments in consumer culture, medical technology, and bio-politics, 'the body' has become the fastest growing, most influential, and most contested subject in the social sciences and humanities. Connecting the concerns of classical sociologists to new advances in social theory, anthropology, feminism, social research, and the study of 'body pedagogics', this volume opens up exciting new horizons for the sociological imagination.
