This broad consideration of the body presents an engagement with a range of social concerns, from the processes of racialization to the vagaries of fashion and performance art, enacted as surgery on the body. Individual sections cover issues such as:\n\nthe body and social (dis)order\n\nbodies and identities\n\nbodily norms\n\nbodies in health and dis-ease\n\nbodies and technologies.\n\nContaining an extensive critical introduction, contributions from key figures such as Butler, Sedgwick, Martin Scheper-Huges, Haraway and Gilroy, and a series of introductions summarizing each section, this Reader offers students a valuable practical guide and a thorough grounding in the fascinating topic of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958198005813,"sku":"ByrdShop_041534008X","price":44.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415340083_d7fb31d2-517d-4332-ba51-25f8c7be4ca9.jpg?v=1792824525","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-body-a-reader-routledge-student-readers-9780415340083","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
