This is a book about why the obese body is severely condemned and considered pathological, why it is the subject of such intense discussion, revolving around how to reduce such a body in size to acceptable, from the point of view of society and medicine, proportions. It is dedicated to the living experience of obese physicality: what it is like to be obese in a fat-phobic society. It also highlights fat activism, obesity politics and related controversy and controversy. World-renowned sociologist Deborah Lupton explores fat as an artefact: as bodily substance and bodily form, which are understood through the prism of complex and ever-changing systems of ideas, practices, emotions, material objects, and interpersonal relationships. This analysis reveals the broader contexts and currents within which practices related to the human body and the Self are carried out. Written in a lively, engaging language, the book is intended for both a general audience and students and researchers interested in the politics of the body and health.
