`After his excellent Social Selves, Ian Burkitt has produced a new theory of embodiment which will become required reading for those working in the areas of social theory, sociology, cultural studies and social psychology. Steering between constructionist and realist theories of the social actor, Bodies of Thought provides an innovative assessment of Foucaultian, Eliasian, and feminist approaches to the body and a sustained critique of Cartesian notions of the subject' - Chris Shilling, University of Portsmouth
Drawing on the work of contemporary social theorists and feminist writers, he argues that thought and the sense of being a person is inseparable from bodily practices within social relations, even though such active experience may be abstracted and expanded upon through the use of symbols. Overcoming classic dualisms in social thought, Burkitt argues that bodies are not purely the constructs of discourses of power: they are also productive, communicative, and invested with powerful capacities for changing the social and natural worlds. He goes on to consider how such powers can be developed in more ethical forms of relations and activities.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. A theory of embodiment, which interprets modern individuals as complex bodies of thought, as embodied symbolic and material beings. Steering between constructionist and realist theories of the social actor, the work assesses Foucaultian, Eliasian, and feminist approaches to the body and provides a critique of post-Cartesian dualisms such as mind and body; thought and emotion; rationality and irrationality; and the mental and the material. In this incisive book, Ian Burkitt critically addresses the dualisms between mind and body, thought and emotion, rationality and irrationality, and the mental and the material, which haunt the post-Cartesian world.
