Boys, Bodies, and Physical Education

Problematizing Identity, Schooling, and Power Relations through a Pleasure Lens

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Using visual ethnography, this book explores the many forms of pleasures that boys derive in and through the spaces and their bodies in physical education. Employing the works of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, Gerdin examines how pleasure is connected to identity, schooling, and power relations, and demonstrates how discourses of sport, fitness, health and masculinity work together to produce a variety of pleasurable experiences.
