Embodied Resistance e-bog

Embodied Resistance engages the rich and complex range of society's contemporary "e;body outlaws"e;--people from many social locations who violate norms about the private, the repellent, or the forbidden. This collection ventures beyond the conventional focus on the "e;disciplined body"e; and instead, examines conformity from the perspective of resisters. By balancing accessibly written original ethnographic research with personal narratives, Embodied Resistance provides a window into the everyday lives of those who defy or violate socially constructed body rules and conventions.
