While previously sociologists have attempted to gender the body and feminists have attempted to embody gender there has not been any attempt so far to link these two perspectives till now. Alexandra Howson s accessible new text draws these two literatures together, pointing to ways of integrating feminist perspectives on the body into sociological theory. The result is a definitive, critical overview of body concepts in both sociology and in feminism. Surveying all the key concepts in the field, this book introduces us to an extensive range of narratives of embodiment and presents a full analysis of the most important texts in new feminist theories of the body. Key questions covered include: o What can sociology say about the body? o What impact has the body made on sociology? o What conceptual frameworks are used to address the body? How do these relate to issues of gender and embodied experience? o How do feminist conceptual tools sit within sociological analysis?
