Transforming Bodies: Gendered Stories of Embodied Change explores the ways that bodies transform and change, and how these changes relate to gender, race, age, dis/ability, activism, performance, and beyond. It is an engaging book for both students and scholars, as well as those outside of academia.
Transforming Bodies: Gendered Stories of Embodied Change provides unique and original research on gendered bodies. It explores the ways that bodies transform and change, and how these transformations relate to the intersections of gender, race, body shape, names, age, dis/ability, activism, performance, and beyond.
Combining personal narratives, sociological theories, and artistic representations, this book dives into questions on transformation and change, such as: “How do we understand our bodies as transformative places? What does it mean to exist in a body that is consistently questioned? Are our embodiments always in some state(s) of change?”
The book contains original stories on embodied transformation and includes creative engagement by using commissioned art to represent various forms of transformation and change. Each chapter has a comprehensive list of key words and questions for reflection and discussion.
