Autor: Turner, Bryan S. AnotaceFew recent books can claim to be path-breaking. The Body and Society is one of them. Originally published in 1984, it flew against prevailing trends which asked sociologists to understand society in terms of abstractions such as structure, class and function. Instead, in a series of dazzling chapters, Bryan S Turner argued that the body should be the axis of sociological analysis. He combined a theoretical discourse on Merleau Ponty, Feuerbach, the young Marx, Foucault, Freud, symbolic interactionism, feminism and anthropology with a discussion of specific issues which included the history of anorexia and agoraphobia, the critique of human sexuality in Christianity, and the role of the human body in play and desire. The result was a book that captured the sociological imagination worldwide and initiated a major research programme on the body in contemporary culture.In this Second Edition, Turner updates the argument. A wide-ranging new introduction analyses the social changes which have given a special prominence to the body in contemporary social theory, and develops Turner's own notion of a `somatic society', a society within which major political and personal problems are both problematized in the body and expressed through it. He proposes, moreover, a research programme to hold the questions and themes that will preoccupy sociologists of the body in the years to come.Complementing the introduction is a preface whose stress is lyrical and pictorial. Turner reflects on the cover images used in recent work on the body, recognizing that it is often through the history of art that we can dimly grasp the body metaphors which lie, but no longer to hand, at the foundation of thinking and feeling. The Body and Society is essential reading for anyone working in the social sciences who is interested in the body. Dostupné zdroje
