Body Movements: Pedagogy, Politics, and Social ChangeSherry B. Shapiro, H. Svi Shapiro The body has become an increasingly important focus within contemporary emancipatory struggles and movements. Issues of sexuality, gender, reproduction, AIDS, physical violence, ecology, food and nutrition, health care, fitness, and physical appearance, comprise only some of the ""generative themes"" of cultural and political action. This volume thus seeks to more fully understand the meaning and implications of this emancipatory ""body politics"" for a radical theory and practice of education. It addresses the question of the body in the context of the struggle for a more democratic, plural and equitable culture. |
