Neoliberal Bodies and the Gendered Fat Body

Bag om Neoliberal Bodies and the Gendered Fat Body

In recent decades, the body has been at the centre of sociological enquiry, with attention given to discursive practices which have produced and governed normative, gendered bodies.This book explores the relationships between fatness, health, and neoliberal discourse and the role of economic policy in the construction of the (gendered) fat body, and examines how neoliberal discourses join patriarchal and biomedical constructions of the fat female body. With an emphasis on how neoliberal governmentality affects the fat body, this book will appeal to scholars of feminist thought, sociology, cultural studies and social theory with interests in the body, gender and neoliberal discourse.
