Description

The Body A Reader by Mariam Fraser and Monica Greco offers a comprehensive overview of the concept of the body in contemporary society. This collection of essays explores various social concerns, including racialization, fashion, performance art, and the intersection of technology and the human form. Through its diverse range of topics, from bodily norms to health and disease, this Reader provides a thorough grounding in the complex relationships between the body, identity, and culture. With contributions from key thinkers such as Butler, Sedgwick, Martin Scheper-Huges, Haraway, and Gilroy, this book is an invaluable resource for students seeking to understand the multifaceted nature of the human body. A critical introduction sets the stage for a series of introductions summarizing each section, providing a practical guide for navigating the subject matter.
