Abstract
Five Bodies offers an introduction to some of the most urgent contemporary concerns within the sociology of the body. This new edition (the previous edition was published by Cornell University Press (1985) has been substantially revised and updated to examine how embodied selves and relationships are being re-shaped and re-figured and how the embodied figures of the polity, economy and society represent the contested notions of identity, desire, wholeness and fragmentation.
