Cultural Bodies: Ethnography and Theory is a unique collection that integrates two increasingly key areas of social and cultural research: the body and ethnography.

• Breaks new ground in an area of study that continues to be a central theme of debate and research across the humanities and social sciences
• Draws on ethnography as a useful means of exploring our everyday social and cultural environments
• Constitutes an important step in developing two key areas of study, the body and ethnography, and the relationship between them
• Brings together an international and multi-disciplinary team of scholars
