Body Image as an Everyday Problematic: Looking Good - Rilegato
Libro 14 di 98: Routledge Research in Gender and Society
Sinossi
It is well known that body image has been associated to health risks related to eating habits. However, to what extent do identity categories, everyday social interaction and common discourses affect our preoccupations and sufferings related to body image in contemporary society, and our coordinated ways of confronting them?
In Body Image as an Everyday Problematic, Diaz seeks to offer a comprehensive perspective on body image as an everyday problematic, grounded on verbal accounts of biographic experience. The main body of the book unfolds through five analyses: (1) a framework for how persons are categorized on the grounds of their beauty, weight, or physical appeal; with reference to heterosexual and friendship relations; (2) how men position themselves with respect to culturally provided images of beautiful women in relation to their heterosexual partners; (3) biographic processes through which people locate problems with the body, confront them and interpret them after some time; (4) the role of mothers in providing help across different kinds of problems; and (5) the experiences and contradictions of caring for relatives or partners who suffer for their body image. Indeed, these five analytical threads together compose a structured and rich understanding of the meaningful social order that lies at the core of our everyday preoccupations with the body.
Challenging conventional psychological theories of body image, this enlightening volume will appeal to postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as Gender Studies, Clinical Psychology and Sociology.

Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. A scholarly examination of body image as an everyday social and cultural concern rather than solely as an individual psychological phenomenon. Díaz explores how identity, interpersonal relationships, cultural expectations, gender, beauty, weight, physical attractiveness, family relationships, and caregiving shape people's experiences and understandings of their bodies. Based on qualitative analysis of biographical accounts, the book will be of particular interest to researchers and advanced students in gender studies, sociology, social and clinical psychology, body image, and qualitative research. The book is volume 61 in the Routledge Research in Gender and Society series. Condition: Very Good. Unused, apparently unread copy acquired from a bookseller, as specializing in publisher and distributor overstock. Sold to me as "New." Clean interior with no writing, highlighting, ownership marks, or other signs of use. Hardcover boards show light shelf/storage rubbing and several bumped corners, most noticeably at the lower corners, consistent with warehouse storage and handling. Binding is tight. Conservatively graded Very Good because of the exterior storage wear. Photos are of the actual copy offered for sale. Codice articolo CEBP - 006
