Böcker av Lisa Blackman

Our changing understanding of the body challenges the ways we conceive power, ideology, subjectivity and social and cultural process. This title highlights and analyses the debates which make the body central to sociological, psychological, cultural and feminist thinking.

The hearing of voices is generally regarded as a pathological phenomenon - a form of mental illness. This title challenges the assumption in psychiatry and psychology that hearing voices has a pathological basis, and contains information from people who hear voices.

A timely and multidisciplinary addition to the Theory, Culture & Society book series (given the recent turn to affect in the social sciences) from one of the leading figures in body studies today.

This book provides an innovative approach to the relation of psychology to the media for media and cultural studies students. Drawing on post-structuralism, discursive psychology, postcolonial theory and feminism, the book explores the regulation of the masses and its place both in the project of psychology and of media studies.
