The Body and Everyday Life by Helen Thomas
Dealing with the topic of the body, this book illustrates the complex relationships that exist between the body, society and everyday life, by linking contemporary theory to the body through a series of case studies. These case studies range across a variety of cultural settings, such as film, theatre, dance and sport.
