Table of ContentsReviews'Theodore Bennett has provided a theoretically nuanced, skilful, and compelling account of law's troubled relationship with body shaping practices. Providing the first sustained account, Bennett's is a rich and sensitive analysis that deserves in turn to shape how we debate law's uneven and inconsistent responses to these embodied practices.' Michael Thomson, University of Leeds, UK 'This book is an ambitious, cogent and at times provocative study of the authority of legal and medical discourse to define the parameters of criminalisation in relation to bodily alterations. In demonstrating the ways in which law and medicine interact in producing and promoting certain accounts and versions of reality at the expense of others, Bennett offers a powerful analysis of the discursive positioning of material subjectivity that will engage an international and cross-disciplinary audience.' Sharon Cowan, University of Edinburgh, UK Author InformationTheodore Bennett is an Assistant Professor in the School of Law, University of Western Australia. His research interests are in the areas of criminal law, law and the body, law and society, and legal discourse. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
