Description

The Body: Social and Cultural Dissections by Routledge provides a detailed overview of sociological and cultural perspectives on the human body. Designed for college-level study, this handbook moves beyond traditional anatomy to provide essential tools for social and cultural analysis. Instead of focusing solely on biological functions, the text explores the human body within its social, cultural, and political contexts. This volume is organized similarly to a standard anatomical textbook, using body parts and processes as a framework. However, it subverts typical expectations by focusing on the contested meanings of body systems and parts. Readers will find a wide range of US-based and international case studies, practical examples, and discussion questions to support learning. This makes it a valuable resource for students studying anthropology, sociology, and the social sciences.
