Description

Explore the intersection of the human body and society with Critical Readings in Bodybuilding. As the study of the body grows in importance across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, this volume fills a significant gap in academic literature. While bodybuilding remains a major point of interest for scholars studying gender, media, film, and sociology, there is very little research available on its contemporary practices. This collection serves as the first dedicated resource to address the modern era of bodybuilding. It examines how the activity has become increasingly extreme and brings attention to much-neglected academic debates. Readers will find deep analysis regarding the roles of gender, eroticism, and sexuality within the sport. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers looking to understand the cultural and sociological impact of physical transformation in the modern world.
