Ever wondered what lies behind this behaviour or what it might be like to be at the receiving end of this judging gaze? Within the context of the current obesity debate this book investigates the embodied experience of being large from a critical psychological perspective. Using poststructuralist and feminist theories the author explores the discourses available to and used by self - designated fat individuals as well as the societal power relationships that are produced by these. Using the issues of body size and fat as an illustration the book describes the benefits of exploring psychological and social matters from a poststructuralist perspective and the dangers inherent in taking reductionist approaches to public health and other social issues. As such this book should be of particular interest to anyone working within the disciplines of psychology sociology and health studies as well as those involved in the study of health gender issues and appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Fat Lives A Feminist Psychological Exploration\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Tischner Irmgard (Irmgard Tischner Deggendorf Institute Of Technology Germany)\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780415680943\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 166 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 10\/26\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Women and Psychology\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Social, Group Or Collective Psychology","brand":"Tischner Irmgard (Irmgard Tischner Deggendorf Institute Of Technology Germany)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51333155094833,"sku":"IN-G-9780415680943","price":77.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780415680943.jpg?v=1746880234","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780415680943-fat-lives-a-feminist-psychological-exploration","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
