Opis

Obesity, anorexia, and at risk are all terms§associated with young women s health. In this book,§Gabrielle O Flynn establishes new understandings of§young women s health. She draws on a post-structural§perspective to explore the complex ways young women§constitute their subjectivities in relation to§meanings of health and physical activity. A§particular focus is placed on examining the influence§of school contexts on this process. The results§highlight that, whilst dominant notions of§femininity, health, and physical activity provide a§pervasive resource on which young women draw to§constitute their subjectivities, there is diversity§in the ways young women engage with these discourses.§The findings also point to the role that schooling§plays in making available particular notions of§health and physical activity, which are implicated in§the production of gendered and classed§subjectivities. ''Young Women, Health & the Self'' is§especially useful to researchers, teachers, students,§and health workers. Its critical perspective appeals§to individuals with a passion for thinking critically§about the ways health, femininity, and bodies are§defined in contemporary Western society.
