Summary

Cultural Bodies: Ethnography and Theory is a unique collection that integrates two increasingly key areas of social and cultural research: the body and ethnography. Breaks new ground in an area of study that continues to be a central theme of debate and research across the humanities and social sciences. Draws on ethnography as a useful means of exploring our everyday social and cultural environments. Constitutes an important step in developing two key areas of study, the body and ethnography, and the relationship between them. Brings together an international and multi-disciplinary team of scholars.
