Masculinity and Body Weight in Japan: Grappling with Metabolic Syndrome

Genaro Castro-Vázquez

4.9/5 (24641 ratings)

Description:"Drawing on the concept of the somatic self, Castro-V�azquez explores how Japanese men think about, express and interpret their experiences concerning body weight control. Based on an extensive ethnographic investigation, this book offers a compelling analysis of male obesity and overweight in Japan from a symbolic interactionism perspective to delve into structure, meaning, practice and subjectivity underpinning the experiences of a group of middle-aged, Japanese men grappling with body weight control. Castro-V�azquez frames obesity and overweight within historical and current global and sociological debates that help to highlight the significance of the Japanese case. By drawing on evidence from different locations and contexts, he sustains a comparative perspective to extend and deepen the analysis. A valuable resource for scholars both of contemporary masculinity and of medical sociology, especially those with a particular interest in Japan"--We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
