Fat Planet

Considers at a global scale what fat stigma is and what it does to people. Making use of an array of social science perspectives applied in multiple settings, the authors examine the interplay of weight, wealth, history, culture, and meaning to fat and its social rejection. They also explore the notion of symbolic body capita - the power of non-fat bodies to do what people need or want.

Considera la scara globala ce este stigmatul grasimii si ce le face oamenilor. Folosind o serie de perspective de stiinte sociale aplicate in mai multe setari, autorii examineaza interactiunea dintre greutate, bogatie, istorie, cultura si semnificatie pentru grasime si respingerea sa sociala.
