Description

The Lived Body offers a comprehensive exploration of human embodiment and sociological theory, making it an essential resource for undergraduate students studying the sociology of the body. This Routledge textbook introduces 'Embodied Sociology', a framework that positions embodiment at the centre of sociological analysis rather than treating it as peripheral. The authors critically examine dualist philosophical traditions whilst engaging with influential thinkers including Marx, Freud, Foucault, Giddens, Deleuze, Guattari, Irigary and Grosz, evaluating their contributions to bodily theory and practice. The book extends beyond traditional theory to explore emerging research areas, providing students with both foundational knowledge and contemporary perspectives on how bodies are lived, experienced and understood within social contexts. This accessible yet rigorous approach makes The Lived Body ideal for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of embodiment, sociology and social theory.

Key Features

The Lived Body introduces Embodied Sociology as a central theoretical framework, positioning bodily experience at the core of sociological analysis rather than as a marginal concern.

This Routledge textbook critically engages with major thinkers from Marx through contemporary theorists, examining how historical and modern sociology has addressed bodily themes.

The book explores emerging research areas in embodied sociology, extending beyond classical theory to contemporary applications and new scholarship on lived bodily experience.

Designed as an undergraduate textbook, The Lived Body balances theoretical depth with accessibility, making complex sociological concepts about embodiment comprehensible to students new to the subject.

The authors examine dualist philosophical legacies critically, helping students understand how Western thought has historically separated mind and body and why embodied approaches challenge this separation.
