Description

Explore the sociological landscape of modern wellness with Researching Contemporary Wellness Cultures. While wellness is now a mainstream concept, there remains a limited sociological understanding of how these practices function within contemporary Western culture. This book addresses that gap by providing a comprehensive look at the subject through various academic lenses. As the first collection of its kind, this work brings together scholars who examine wellness practices across multiple sociological sub-disciplines. It integrates perspectives from anthropology, cultural studies, and internet studies to provide a well-rounded view of the field. By investigating the growing number of wellness practices and practitioners, the text helps readers understand how these activities play a role in negotiations with the Western medical system. This book serves as a vital resource for those looking to understand the social mechanics behind modern health trends and the way individuals navigate medical institutions. It is an essential addition to any academic library focused on sociology or cultural studies.
