商品简介 "This truly deserves to be considered a classic and I strongly encourage my students to read it from cover to cover. Turner′s work on the body needs to be considered in its own right within courses on the sociology of the body." - Dr Robert Meadows, Surrey University "Remains the foundational text for courses in the sociology of the body, replete with insights and a depth of analysis that has largely inspired an entire new area of studies across the social sciences." - Dr Michael Drake, Hull University "This is THE contemporary text for both academics and students exploring the sociology of the body." - Jessica Clark, University Campus Suffolk This is a fully revised edition of a book that may fairly claim to have re-opened the sociology of the body as a legitimate area of enquiry. Providing an unparalleled guide to all aspects of the subject, each chapter has been revised and updated while the book contains new material that reflects both recent changes in the field and Turner′s developing position on the centrality of vulnerability. Assured and innovative, this book provides the most authoritative statement of work on the sociology of the body by one of the leading writers in the field. “这确实值得被视为经典,我强烈鼓励我的学生从头到尾阅读它。特纳关于身体的研究需要在身体社会学课程中单独考虑。” - 萨里大学罗伯特·梅多斯博士 “仍然是身体社会学课程的基础教材,充满了见解和深度分析,在很大程度上激发了社会科学的全新研究领域。” - 迈克尔·德雷克博士,赫尔大学 “对于探索身体社会学的学者和学生来说,这是当代的教科书。” ——杰西卡·克拉克(Jessica Clark),萨福克大学校园 这是一本书的完全修订版,它可以公平地声称重新开放了身体社会学作为一个合法的研究领域。本书为该主题的各个方面提供了无与伦比的指南,每一章都经过修订和更新,同时本书包含的新材料反映了该领域的最新变化以及特纳在脆弱性中心问题上的发展立场。本书充满自信和创新,提供了该领域领先作家之一关于身体社会学的最权威的著作陈述。
