Drawing on relevant discussions of embodiment in phenomenology, feminist theory, psychoanalytic theory, queer theory and post-colonial theory, Body Images explores the role played by the body image in our everyday existence.
"Weiss presents a subtle and thoughtful interrogation ofthe status of the body in our understanding ofsubjectivity and society. This is a book that isintimately attuned to the complexities of race, class,gender and geography and how they are always livedthrough bodily structures and experiences. Perhaps morethan many of the great theorists of the body,Body Imagesmakes us alive to how strongly these structures ofcultural, sexual, racial and social differences areembedded in lived bodies." -- Elizabeth Grosz, author of Volatile Bodies
