Abstract:

How is the body articulated in language and discourse? How is the body
articulated as discourse? How do individuals and the media represent
and define relationships between the body and selves? The eleven new
chapters in this book explore how 'discourses of the body' - in talk,
text and other semiotics - sustain moral, ideological and practical
positions. Using a wide range of data from both private and public
contexts, Discourse, the Body and Identity brings different forms of
linguistic and multi-modal analysis to bear on these questions. It
draws on and develops concepts and methods from sociolinguistics,
sociology, social psychology and cultural theory.  Together, these
approaches explore body representations and embodied action for the
purposes of, for example, instruction, display, and personal story
telling. The volume brings together research on representations of
bodily ageing, gendered bodies, bodies at risk, ill and disabled
bodies, but also bodies at play and narcissistic body.
