Description: Fat Lives : A Feminist Psychological Exploration, Paperback by Tischner, Irmgard, ISBN 0415680948, ISBN-13 9780415680943, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Tischner (social psychology, U. of Worcester) presents a fascinating assessment and critique of fat-phobic discourse. She reviews the literature on obesity that pathologizes it, outlines a feminist post-structuralist framework for examining how fat gets talked about and categorized, and spends most of th analyzing the invisibility of fat women, the construction of health, neoliberalism and the individual's responsibility for their weight, and the feminization of fat. In these latter, more topical chapters she draws on interviews and existing literature. This is an excellent study that brings into focus issues not just of obesity, but neoliberal citizenship and biopower. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
