The Aging Body

ISBN: 9781628083804 出版年：2013 页码：82 Jason L Powell Nova Science

This book explores the main issues in new social science approaches to understanding the human body and aging. In particular, the development of postmodernism and its relationship to culture and the body is delineated. The book also addresses some of the power issues that manifest in social relationships focused on the body. Here, the work of Michel Foucault is useful in using conceptual tools to disrupt dominant bio-medical narratives relating to the aging body.
