Summary
  • Beginning with the provocative premise that the body is the anchor of the social order, this unique book explores the multidimensional relationship between sociopolitical bodies and human bodies. Celebrated authors explore the ways that prevailing economic and political institutions affect our physical selves and how we experience them, and, in turn, the ways that our bodily senses, energies, activities, and desires reinforce or challenge the societal status quo.
  • Timely and theoretically sophisticated, this book makes a significant contribution to some of the most vital debates of cultural studies and political theory today.
