Exploring the Body: Explorations in Sociology.

Editat de S. Cunningham-Burley, K. Backett-Milburn
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 sep 2001
This volume explores diverse ways of researching and theorizing the body. It draws together a range of empirical work on different themes, each taking the body and its study as its central problematic. It creatively combines contributions on disability, illness, scars, sleep, complementary medicine, running, as well as the lifecourse themes of childhood, youth and death. The different approaches to researching the body examined through these contributions include autobiography, case-studies, interviews and participant observation.
