Abjectly Boundless (eBook, ePUB)

Boundaries, Bodies and Health Work
Redaktion: Holmes, Dave

Produktbeschreibung

Within a variety of practice environments, health professionals often experience feelings of disgust and repulsion towards the presence of an abject object. This volume employs the work of Julia Kristeva, through a range of case studies from around the world in order to expose and highlight the important impact of the concept of abjection, which is historically silenced and rarely accounted for in academic literature.
