Abstract:

As embodied social agents our lives are preoccupied with the production and reproduction of bodies. Making, unmaking and remaking our embodiment are ongoing activities. Eating, exercise, washing, grooming, dressing, for example, are activities in which the body engages in routine tasks of bodily management. Such activities can be seen as everyday rehabilitation. The study explores the impact of major physical impairment on embodiment, and on the processes involved in re-embodiment after catastrophic injury or disease. The experiences of the people in this study dramatically highlight the conti

Abstract:

This thesis addresses the sociology of the body and of governance by presenting empirical material, in the form of both textual and interview data, drawn from a case study of cervical screening. This material is used to examine women's experiences and their sense of embodiment in the context of cervical screening participation. The thesis argues that cervical screening, as a form of prevention, represents a new type of social regulation in late modernity. This argument challenges current understandings of the relationship between the body, gender and health. First, the thesis poses a distincti

Abstract:

This doctoral dissertation illuminates the salience of body image to sociological investigations of mental health. It is argued that concerns over body-appearance evident in America embody a dimension of distress over the physical self that may be appropriately considered a mental health outcome, called body dysphoria. Using cross-sectional data from a sample of 1,183 young adults comprising Hispanic, African American, and non-Hispanic white males and females of varying social classes, a valid and reliable measure of body dysphoria is developed and demonstrated to be a distinct dimension of ps

Abstract:

This master's thesis concerns the increasing popularity of cosmetic breast augmentation in America in recent years. Specifically, statistics indicate that between 1992 and 1998 there has been a 306% rise in the number of breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. (ASPRS, 1999). Why do women elect a surgery to cosmetically augment their breasts? Taking a postmodern theoretical approach, this research offers a meta-theory for women's desires and ultimately their decisions for cosmetic breast augmentation. It entails examining a multiplicity of converging micro- and macro-level social forces, subj

Abstract:

Body depilation, or the reduction or removal of body hair, is a relatively new area of research inquiry. Although women in many industrialized cultures have engaged in depilation for several decades, this behavior has been documented only recently among men. Though originally thought to be widely practiced by women and only a small proportion of men, including athletes or bodybuilders, recent studies suggest that more men engage in body depilation than previously hypothesized. In fact, one recent study estimated the prevalence of men's body depilation at 83.7% which suggests that men are de
