Book Synopsis Revealing Male Bodies by : Nancy Tuana
Download or read book Revealing Male Bodies written by Nancy Tuana and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2002-05-06 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revealing Male Bodies is the first scholarly collection to directly confront male lived experience. There has been an explosion of work in men's studies, masculinity issues, and male sexuality, in addition to a growing literature exploring female embodiment. Missing from the current literature, however, is a sustained analysis of the phenomenology of male-gendered bodies. Revealing Male Bodies addresses this omission by examining how male bodies are physically and experientially constituted by the economic, theoretical, and social practices in which men are immersed. Contributors include Susan Bordo, William Cowling, Terry Goldie, Maurice Hamington, Don Ihde, Greg Johnson, Björn Krondorfer, Alphonso Lingis, Patrick McGann, Paul McIlvenny, Terrance MacMullan, Jim Perkinson, Steven P. Schacht, Richard Schmitt, Nancy Tuana, Craig L. Wilkins, and John Zuern.

Zara decides to take matters into her own hands. How hard can it be to find a husband at twenty-nine?

As her next birthday looms, and family pressure intensifies, Zara knows she must make a decision, but will she make the right one?
