Bodies at Work provides the first full-length, accessible account of the body/work relation in contemporary western societies. Bringing together fields of sociology that have hitherto developed mainly along separate lines, the book demonstrates the relevance of concepts developed in the sociology of the body for enriching our understanding of changing patterns of work and employment. The author examines a wide range of employment sectors, including industrial employment, customer relations, health practice, care work, the beauty industry, and sex work, while highlighting the contribution of feminist theory and research.
