Sassatelli and Ghigi show how the process of embodiment is at the same time naturalized and contested, particularly evident in the case of gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on classical sociological research about modernity and contemporary studies that emphasize intersectionality, the book looks at how the gendered body has been conceptualized with special attention to body politics, the power of appearance, and the representation of embodied identity. It also considers the interplay between body, sex, and sexuality and the way gendered bodies intersect with other dimensions of social inequality such as race, age, class, and disability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis exploration of the rich field of sociological inquiry into the gendered body will be an invaluable read for all seeking to understand gender, sexuality, and embodiment in contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47362526380268,"sku":"9781509550081","price":42.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12523063482725.jpg?v=1772888171"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/rossella-ghigi.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
