Description

Used Book in Good Condition.

Viewed as both uny and unattractive, people are widely represented in popular culture and in interpersonal interactions as revolting―as agents of abhorrence and disgust. Yet if we think about "revolting" in a different way, Kathleen LeBesco argues, we can recognize ness as not simply an aesthetic state or a medical condition, but a political one. If we think of revolting in terms of overthrowing authority, rebelling, protesting, and rejecting, then corpulence carries a whole new weight as a subversive cultural practice that calls into question received notions about , beauty, and nature. Revolting Bodies examines a number of sites of struggle over the cultural meaning of ness. The book is grounded in scholarship on identity politics, the social construction of beauty, and the subversion of hegemonic medical ideas about the dangers of ness. It explains how the redefinition of identities has been undertaken by people who challenge conventional understandings of nature, , and beauty and, in so doing, alter their individual and collective relationships to power. LeBesco explores how the bearer of a body is marked as a failed citizen, inasmuch as her powers as a worker, shopper, and sexually "desirable" subject are called into question. At the same time, she highlights fashion, relations among , queer, and disability politics and activism, and online communities as rtunities for transforming these pejorative stereotypes of ness. Her discussion of the long-term ramifications of denying bodily agency―in effect, letting biological determinism run rampant―has implications not only for our understanding of ness but also for future political practice.
