Note publique d'information : 'Cultural Bodies: Ethnography and Theory' is a unique collection that integrates two
increasingly key areas of social and cultural research: the body and ethnography.
"The body" continues to be a central theme of debate and research across the humanities
and social sciences and in subjects such as gender, race, identity, and science and
technology. However, existing literature on the body has taken a largely theoretical
direction. 'Cultural Bodies' breaks new ground by refusing to neglect the experiential
and the empirical. Bringing together an international and multidisciplinary team of
scholars, 'Cultural Bodies' draws on ethnography as a useful means of exploring our
everyday social and cultural environment and, in doing so, demonstrates the constant
need for researchers and their research to be made accountable to readers. In this
way, ethnography reveals as much about the frameworks of social research as it does
about the societies that they move in and out of. By focusing on the body and ethnography,
'Cultural Bodies' constitutes an important step in developing these two key areas
of study and the relationship between them.
