- Description
- Throughout the Western world, people have come to believe that general dissatisfaction can be relieved by some change in their bodies. Here Susie Orbach explains the origins of this condition, and examines its implications. Challenging the Freudian view that bodily disorders originate and progress in the mind, she argues that we should look at self-mutilation, obesity, anorexia, and plastic surgery on their own terms, through a reading of the body itself. Incorporating the latest research from neuropsychology, as well as case studies from her own practice, she traces many of these fixations back to the relationship between mothers and babies, to anxieties that are transferred unconsciously. She reveals how vulnerable our bodies are, how susceptible to every kind of negative stimulus--from a nursing infant sensing a mother's discomfort to a grown man or woman feeling inadequate because of a model on a billboard. .In the past several decades, a globalized media has overwhelmed us with images of an idealized, westernized body, and conditioned us to see any exception to that ideal as a problem. The body has become an object, a site of production and commerce in and of itself. Instead of our bodies making things, we now make our bodies. Orbach reveals the true dimensions of the crisis, and points the way toward healing and acceptance.

- Description
- This book provides a series of windows on maternities highlighting issues of gender, bodies and space. It demonstrates the multiple ways in which mothering and maternal bodies influence and are influenced by social and cultural processes and the politics of space. The research for this book is positioned simultaneouslly both in feminist geographical literatures on bodies and in a broader interdisciplinary literature on mothers, mothering and maternal bodies. One of the case studies in the book is on Maori women.

- Description
- The essays discuss current theoretical debates with analysis of literaty and other kinds of textual representations of 'the body'. The work of Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Brontë, Dorothy Richardson, Daphne du Maurier, Alice Walker, Audre Lorde, Toni Morrison and others is considered in the light of theorists as Judith Butler, Elisabeth Grosz, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Cixous and Irigaray. The essays are organised into sections which consider 'the body' from different perspectives, such as: production, consumption and reproduction: the ethics of representation: 'the body' as a foundation for contemporary identity politics: literary and cultural value: spiritualism, mysticism and transcedence.
