Description

Explore the complex connections between economic policy and physical identity in Neoliberal Bodies and the Gendered Fat Body. Published by Routledge as part of the Research in Gender and Society series, this academic work examines how the rise of the global obesity epidemic has changed the way fat bodies are viewed in modern society. Hannele Harjunen provides a deep look into how fatness is debated across popular, professional, and academic spaces. The text examines the ways in which fat bodies are shamed and demonized, looking at the pervasive surveillance and policing performed by the media, health professionals, and the general public. This book investigates how neoliberal economic rationale is tied to our current understanding of gender and health. It is a significant resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the social sciences, offering a perspective on how societal structures influence the perception of the human body.
