Body Panic: Gender, Health, and the Selling of Fitness
by Shari L. Dworkin and Faye Linda Wachs
Call Number: New Book Shelf
BF697.5.B63 D86 2009

Are you ripped? Do you need to work on your abs? Do you know your ideal body weight? Your body fat index? Increasingly, Americans are being sold on a fitness ideal, not just thin but toned, not just muscular but cut, that is harder and harder to reach. In Body Panic, authors Shari L. Dworkin and Faye Linda Wachs ask why. How did these particular body types come to be fit? And how is it that having an unfit body gets melded with being a bad citizen?

While women and body image are often studied together, Body Panic considers both women's and men's bodies side-by-side and over time in order to offer a more in-depth understanding of this pervasive cultural trend.

Check out Body Panic: Gender, Health, and the Selling of Fitness today, available on the library's New Book Shelf.

In this course, you will learn from two masters: Professor Bartlett himself, and the eminent 19th-century art historian Jacob Burckhardt, who created the scholarly model of cultural history through which the Renaissance is still widely studied today." - Container.
