Description

Explore the complex social dynamics of the human body with Fat by Routledge. This book examines how contemporary western societies approach the fat body through stigmatizing discourses and practices. While fat bodies may outnumber thin bodies in many western countries, the text explores why fat people remain socially marginalized and face derision or repulsion. This work investigates the role of medical and public health experts who define fatness as a pathological condition. It looks at the ongoing rhetoric regarding an obesity epidemic and the efforts to prevent, control, and regulate the body. For students and readers interested in anthropology and sociology, this book provides a deep look into the disciplinary practices used to contain the fat body in modern society.
