• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Transforming Bodies: Gendered Stories of Embodied Change provides unique and original research on gendered bodies. It explores the ways that bodies transform and change, and how these transformations relate to the intersections of gender, race, body shape, names, age, dis/ability, activism, performance, and beyond.

Combining personal narratives, sociological theories, and artistic representations, this book dives into questions on transformation and change, such as: "How do we understand our bodies as transformative places? What does it mean to exist in a body that is consistently questioned? Are our embodiments always in some state(s) of change?"

The book contains original stories on embodied transformation and includes creative engagement by using commissioned art to represent various forms of transformation and change. Each chapter has a comprehensive list of key words and questions for reflection and discussion.

Transforming Bodies: Gendered Stories of Embodied Change is an accessible book that will be engaging for both students and scholars, as well as those outside of academia with an interest in body politics, gender, race, disability, and activism.
