EMBODIMENT
- Traditionally: Cartesian dualism or
monist (reduction to genes) views
- Discursive psychology. FOUCAULT - embodied self is social object, object of
discourse. Link to power relations = categories determine what is normal and what
isn't, fat, thin, ugly, normal etc..Marilyn Monroe's body vs Kate Moss. Tyranny of
slenderness etc. POWER AND KNOWLEDGE ARE INTERLINKED, e.g. classification
of illness makes it okay, CFS, ME, ADHD. BORDO - eating disorders are the result of
female collusion with male patriarchal ideas of beauty. Therefore bodies are not
simply biological but are constructed through social and cultural forces. They can be
resisted, e.g. Queer Theory (CAMERON)
