SUMMARY
The overarching argument ofReading the Social Bodyis that the body is cultural rather than "natural." Some of the essays treat the social construction of bodies that have actually existed in human history; others discuss the representation of bodies in artistic contexts; all recognize that everything visible to the human body--from posture and costume to the width of an eyebrow or a smile--is determined by and shaped in response to a particular culture.Burroughs, Catherine B. is the author of 'Reading the Social Body' with ISBN 9780877454021 and ISBN 0877454027.
