Paperback. Condición: New. Overall, the volume is well written and free of unnecessary jargon. Accordingly, it would be very useful for graduate-level courses in medical anthropology, and well suited to sociocultural graduate courses.[It] provides important new theoretical insights on the body and embodiment for a wide readershi…p, the books is an excellent choice for use in teaching. Medical Anthropology Quarterly Social Bodies and most of its individual contributions are compelling, well written, and thought-provoking. One impressive feature of the book is its juxtaposition of anthropological sub-fields (and related fields) that conceptualize what bodies and their constituent parts are, do, and represent in radically different ways. JRAI .a tightly conceived and interlinked collection sampling some of the best work in contemporary anthropology on the body.Social Bodies is short but rich. The editorial and chapters interrelate well. As a 'whole', it left me challenged by its ideas and ethnography.Anthropology in Action A proliferation of press headlines, social science texts and "ethical" concerns about the social implications of recent developments in human genetics and biomedicine have created a sense that, at least in European and American contexts, both the way we treat the human body and our attitudes towards it have changed. This volume asks what really happens to social relations in the face of new types of transaction - such as organ donation, forensic identification and other new medical and reproductive technologies - that involve the use of corporeal material. Drawing on comparative insights into how human biological material is treated, it aims to consider how far human bodies and their components are themselves inherently "social." The case studies - ranging from animal-human transformations in Amazonia to forensic reconstruction in post-conflict Serbia and the treatment of Native American specimens in English museums - all underline that, without social relations, there are no bodies but only "human remains."The volume gives us new and striking ethnographic insights into bodies as sociality, as well as a potentially powerful analytical reconsideration of notions of embodiment. It makes a novel contribution, too, to "science and society" debates. Helen Lambert is Reader in Medical Anthropology at the University of Bristol, U.K. She has done fieldwork in India and the UK and her research interests include anthropology and public health, HIV, Indian medical traditions, gender and relatedness in South Asia, and notions of evidence. She has numerous publications in the anthropology of India and medical anthropology and is currently working on bonesetters and marginal medicine in India. She contributed the chapter on 'New medical anthropology' to the SAGE Handbook of Social Anthropology (ASA/Sage 2012).
