Bøker av Simon Johnson Williams

'Simon Williams has produced an original and comprehensive sociological statement of the centrality of the body to an understanding of medicine, health and illness... It will shape future teaching and research in the field of health and illness' - Bryan S Turner, Professor of Sociology, University of Cambridge

Drawing on a wide variety of sources, this book treats the emotions as a universal feature of human life and reflects, and critically comments upon, the turn towards the body and intimacy in social theory.
