{"product_id":"body-matters-sue-scott-9781850009429","title":"Body Matters: Essays On The Sociology Of The Body","description":"Focusing on the sociological embodiment of various \"social actors\", the authors consider the subsequent links with the constraints of daily life i.e. the male body, female therapists, body builders, marital and sexual counsellors, sex workers. They present recent or new research findings on aspects of the body, variants from what is conventionally seen as \"natural\" and consider and question aspects of self-image versus society's expectations. A number of developments in discussions of the body on such topics as feminist thought, the study of health and illness and cultural theory are presented as a series of essays which demonstrate the variety of interests mentioned.; The book is aimed at undergraduates\/postgraduates students and lecturers in sociology, cultural studies, women's and gender studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1850009422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781850009429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Sue Scott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136927183103,"sku":"9781850009429","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05ed0180-1b7d-4490-86a3-cb7b8c8013ee.jpg?v=1770165380","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/body-matters-sue-scott-9781850009429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
