Deviant Bodies – Critical Perspectives on Difference in Science and Popular Culture de Jennifer Terry

Deviant Bodies – Critical Perspectives on Difference in Science and Popular Culture

Autor Jennifer Terry, Jacqueline L. Urla
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 dec 1995
Presents an argument that bodies are knowable only through culture and history; they are not in any simple way natural, nor free of relations of power. This book traces the construction of particular deviant bodies, including the homosexual body, the HIV-infected body, the infertile body, the deaf body, the colonized body, and the criminal body.
