Comments are presented on various aspects of the private & public body in the society of the 1980s. In All Teeth 'n' Smiles, Jeanette Winterson examines the duplicities of the body politic, & foresees the final victory of the Greens in implementing social changes to save the environment. In Hulks on Parade, Janet Abrams comments on the increased visibility of male bodies as art objects in mass media, but finds the model types unresponsive to women's preferences. In The Body Bereft, Jeffrey Weeks summarizes the impact of AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) on social perceptions of sexuality, & the moral & religious reactionary measures that were initially proposed to deal with the epidemic. In Work Hard and Keep Pumping, Rosalind Coward evaluates changes in the perception of female body images to today's masochistic yet almost moral pursuit of healthy, fit, & sexy bodies. In Haute Coiffure de Gel, Elizabeth Wilson reviews modern trends in style, design, & fashion as affected by sociopolitical influences. 12 Photographs. M. Malas

In the middle of the most significant refugee crisis since World War II, this piece examines the imbrication of bodies within contemporary climate politics. The matrix brings together scientific, humanitarian and activist image making including: microscopic photography of atmospheric carbon aerosols, footage of refugee rescues in the Mediterranean taken by coastguards and by drones, and finally, video phone capture of a press conference by the Leader of the G77 nations Lumumba Di-Aping during the Copenhagen Climate Summit of 2009.

The body occupies a prime position in contemporary theoretical work, yet still there is no consensus on exactly what it is and what constitutes it. Contested Bodies brings together a number of different accounts and perspectives on the body, drawing out some of the key connections and disjunctures from this most contested of topics. This volume features fresh and fascinating contributions from some of the leading thinkers and upcoming theorists in the field. Themes that run through the work include:* the place of the body in theory* the notion of labour in the production of bodies * the transf

Geographers have long demonstrated an interest in charting the geographical and bodily dynamics of work and employment. However within this scholarship very little attention has been paid to historical geographies of craftwork. This paper seeks to address this deficit whilst also engaging with the evident and evidentiary methodological issues associated with the historical study of practices worked through the body. To do so the paper experiments in the recuperation of the working spaces and working practice of three Scottish taxidermists. The creative challenge of this type of recovery work is to ascertain what can conceivably be said from those things that remain to mark the working of bodies and bodies at work at these sites. Yet from curated remainders we glean vital insights into the practices and class politics of 19th century natural history enquiry, the silenced agencies of a workshop devastated by WW1 and the more-than-human histories of elite blood sports and land ownership in the Scottish Highlands. And this is to emphasise that these materials, even in their textual representation in this paper, count: that they can create knowledge and invite affective experience of the past. Overall the paper seeks to emphasise the serious commitment to conceptual and methodological innovation required when geographers engage in researching bodies (both human and animal) 'at work' in the past.

The most basic assertions about our bodies--that they are ours and distinguish us from each other, that they are private and have boundaries, races, and genders--are all political theories, constructed in legal texts for political purposes. So argues Alan Hyde in this first account of the body in legal thought. Hyde demonstrates that none of the constructions of the body in legal texts are universal truths that rest solely on body experience. Drawing on an array of fascinating case material, he shows that legal texts can construct all kinds of bodies, including those that are not owned at all
