But despite much discussion of "the body", actual bodies -- muscles, nerves, genes, and blood -- are often absent from academic debate. Linked by their focus on the sport and practice of body building, the authors in this volume challenge both the way their various disciplines (sociology, media studies, literary criticism, film) have gone about studying bodies, and existing assumptions about the complex relationship between power, subjectivity, society, and flesh. The essays in Building Bodies strive toward models in which power, bodies, discourse, and subjectivity interact in a space we can call the "built body", a dynamic, politicized, and biological site. Body building serves as a launching point because the sport and practice provide ready challenges to the ruling binaries of body studies. -- First academic collection on body building. -- Incorporates gender studies, queer studies, and film criticism.Paperback: 224 pages Company: Rutgers University Press (1997-06) ISBN: 0813524385 List Price: $22.95 Amazon Price: $2.32 Used Price: $0.20 Group's Body-Building Guide to Outreach: Stretching Out to Your Community  Author: Candace McMahan, Jan Kershner Paperback: 163 pages Company: Group Publishing(CO) (2006-07) ISBN: 0764431528 List Price: $17.99 Amazon Price: $4.73 Used Price: $4.54 Men's Health: The Book of Muscle--The World's Most Authoritative Guide to Building Your Body  The World's Most AUTHORITATIVE Guide to Building Your Body You probably know a lot about building muscle.

In this book, an international group of architects, architectural historians, and theorists examines the relation of the human body and architecture. The essays view well-known buildings, texts, paintings, ornaments, and landscapes from the perspective of the body's physical, psychological, and spiritual needs and pleasures. Topics include Greek temples; the churches of Tadao Ando in Japan; Renaissance fortresses and paintings; the body, space, and dwelling in Wright's and Schindler's houses in North America; the corporeal dimension of Carlo Scarpa's landscapes and gardens; theory from Vitruvius to the Renaissance and Enlightenment; and Freudian psychoanalysis. The essays are framed by an appreciation of architectural historian and theorist Joseph Rykwert's influential work on the subject.Paperback: 438 pages Company: The MIT Press (2005-04-01) ISBN: 0262541831 List Price: $29.00 Amazon Price: $19.28 Used Price: $21.81 Bodymakers: A Cultural Anatomy of Women's Body Building  Women with muscles are a recent phenomenon, so recent that, while generating a good deal of interest, both positive and negative, their importance to the cultural landscape has yet to be acknowledged. This newness, along with the ways in which muscular women challenge traditional ideas that associate women with physical weakness and incompetence, femininity with diminution and childishness, and the female body with softness, has led to a widely held belief, both inside body building circles and without, that the cultural implications of female body building are limited to a small subculture. Leslie Heywood looks at the sport and image of female body building as a metaphor for how women fare in our current political and cultural climate. Drawing on contemporary feminist and cultural theory as well as her own involvement in the sport, she argues that the movement in women's body building from small, delicate bodies to large powerful ones and back again is directly connected to progress and backlash within the abortion debate, the ongoing struggle for race and gender equality, and the struggle to define "feminism" in the context of the nineties. She discusses female body building as activism, as an often effective response to abuse, race and masculinity in body building, and the contradictory ways that photographers treat female body builders. "Bodymakers" also reveals how female body builders find themselves both trapped and empowered by their sport.Author: Leslie Heywood Paperback: 225 pages Company: Rutgers University Press (1998-02) ISBN: 0813524806 List Price: $22.95 Amazon Price: $10.95 Used Price: $7.25 |
