Condition Brand New

Description Applies poststructuralist and postmodern ideas to issues of health and health care to provide a radical re-think of how health is to be understood. This text offers a perspective in which health is seen as an affirmation of potential rather than a narrow biopsychosocial construct.

Publisher Description

Fox writes about the nomadic project for people with bodies wherever they live, in what turned out not quite to be the planned sequel to his Postmodernism, Sociology, and Health (1993), but a treatment of the very practical issue of embodiment. Aspiring to transcend the conceptualization of embodiment by modern medicine, the caring professions, and other institutions, he suggests that it is possible to have a non-essentialist yet becoming body, not a being-body, not to be trammelled by notions of health and illness.
