Embodying Gender
Autor Alexandra Howsonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 apr 2005
Surveying all the key concepts in the field, this book introduces us to an extensive range of 'narratives of embodiment' and presents a full analysis of the most important texts in new feminist theories of the body.
Key questions covered include:
oWhat can sociology say about the body?
oWhat impact has the body made on sociology?
oWhat conceptual frameworks are used to address the body? How do these relate to issues of gender and embodied experience?
oHow do feminist conceptual tools sit within sociological analysis?
Written in a clear, accessible style, Embodying Gender is an invaluable text for undergraduate students, postgraduates and academics in the fields of women's and gender studies and sociology, and is particularly relevant to those specialising in sociology of the body, feminist theory and social theory.
