Cultural Bodies cover

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

"An interdisciplinary text that offers cutting-edge theoretical and methodological means for analyzing, understanding, and imagining how the body materializes in cultural historical context and practice." Heidi Nast, DePaul University

"Bringing together some of the most challenging contemporary research, this theoretical, empirical, experimental work presents a unique interdisciplinary understanding of how the body speaks, moves and interacts. It is fascinating, making visible some of the unknown and unseen parts and wholes of the body by exploring the materiality of physicality." Beverley Skeggs, University of Manchester
