Description

Explore the deep connections between human biology and social structures with The Social Body: Habit, Identity and Desire. Published by Sage Publications, this text examines how our physical existence shapes our social lives and how society, in turn, influences our bodies. It offers a clear review of current social science debates, making complex theories accessible to readers interested in anthropology and sociology. Nick Crossley provides a thorough analysis of the relationship between mind, body, and society. By examining the work of influential thinkers such as Gilbert Ryle, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, George Herbert Mead, and Pierre Bourdieu, the author demonstrates how their ideas overlap to create a new and persuasive perspective. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars looking to understand the embodied nature of human identity and the social forces that drive desire and habit.
