Produktbeschreibung
Substantive topics include: the institutional emergence of health promotion at both global and national levels; issues of gender and race in health promotion; accidents and the risk society; smoking; HIV and AIDS; ageing; the body and health related consumption. A key theme of the collection is that health promotion is emblematic of wider socio-cultural changes. Changes such as the demise of institutional forms of welfare and social control, a blurring of 'expert' and lay knowledge, a heightened collective perception of uncontainable risks, and a shift to a consumer rather than a producer driven economy. This collection will be invaluable reading for students and social scientists with an interest in health and health policy, health promoters, public health doctors and practitioners engaging in critical reflection upon their professional activities.
Issues examined include: sociology of risk, the body, consumption, processes of surveillance and normalisation, race and gender in health programmes. Invaluable for students, health promotors, public health doctors and academics.
