Summary:

Revealing Male Bodies is the first scholarly collection to directlyconfront male lived experience. There has been an explosion of work in men'sstudies, masculinity issues, and male sexuality, in addition to a growing literatureexploring female embodiment. Missing from the current literature, however, is asustained analysis of the phenomenology of male-gendered bodies. Revealing MaleBodies addresses this omission by examining how male bodies are physically andexperientially constituted by the economic, theoretical, and social practices inwhich men are immersed. Contributors include Susan Bordo, WilliamCowling, Terry Goldie, Maurice Hamington, Don Ihde, Greg Johnson, Bj rn Krondorfer, Alphonso Lingis, Patrick McGann, Paul McIlvenny, Terrance MacMullan, Jim Perkinson, Steven P. Schacht, Richard Schmitt, Nancy Tuana, Craig L. Wilkins, and JohnZuern.
