Queering Fat Embodiment. Edited by Cat Paus', Jackie Wykes and Samantha Murray

By Samantha Murray, Cat Pausé, Jackie Wykes

Book Overview

Shedding light on the ways in which fat embodiment is lived, experienced, regulated and (re)produced across a range of cultural sites and contexts, Queering Fat Embodiment destabilises established ideas about fat bodies, making explicit the intersectionality of fat identities. It represents a paradigm shift within fat studies, challenging the field of study which has primarily reproduced a white, ableist, heteronormative subjectivity in its analyses.
