58223 Social Bodies

Handbook description

This subject unravels the body as the key site through which the reproduction of social structures and norms are secured and contested. The socio-biological matter of the body is interrogated, including an examination of habitual body competencies and feeling-states. The subject questions the 'geography closest in', setting in train a progressively broadening consideration of how body-formation is intimately linked to the formation of culture and states.
