Description

Explore the often overlooked history of human physicality with The Body Social by Anthony Synnott. Published by Routledge, this book offers a deep look into how we think about our bodies and our senses. Synnott examines the historical development of these ideas, providing a foundation for understanding how human perception has changed over time. This work moves beyond general history to look at specific, meaningful themes. You will read about the social implications of gender, beauty, and the face. The text also explores more sensory aspects of life, including the significance of hair, touch, smell, and sight. By reviewing both classical and contemporary theories regarding the body and the senses, Synnott provides a complete perspective on the subject. This book is an essential read for those interested in anthropology, sociology, and the study of human experience. It changes the way you view your own physical existence and how society perceives the human form.
