"Tattoos have become increasingly popular in recent years, especially among young people. While tattooing is used as a symbol of personal identity and social communication, there has been little sociological study of the phenomenon. In Tattooed: The Sociogenesis of a Body Art, tattoo enthusiasts share their stories about their bodies and tattooing experiences. Michael Atkinson shows how enthusiasts negotiate and celebrate their 'difference' as it relates to the social stigma attached to body art - how the act of tattooing is as much a response to the stigma as it is a form of personal expression - and how a generation has appropriated tattooing as its own symbol of inclusiveness. Atkinson further demonstrates how the displaying of tattooed bodies to others - techniques of disclosure, justification, and representation - has become a part of the shared experience." "Cultural sensibilities about tattooing are discussed within historical context and in relation to broader trends in body modification, such as cosmetic surgery, dieting, and piercing. The author also employs research from a number of disciplines, as well as contemporary sociological and postmodern theory, to analyze the enduring social significance of body art."--Jacket.

Students of culture have been increasingly concerned with the ways in which cultural values are 'inscribed' on the body. These essays go beyond this passive construal of the body to a position in which embodiment is understood as the existential condition of cultural life. From this standpoint embodiment is reducible neither to representations of the body, to the body as an objectification of power, to the body as a physical entity or biological organism, nor to the body as an inalienable centre of individual consciousness. This more sensate and dynamic view is applied by the contributors to a variety of topics, including the expression of emotion, the experience of pain, ritual healing, dietary customs, and political violence. Their purpose is to contribute to a phenomenological theory of culture and self - an anthropology that is not merely about the body, but from the body.

La douleur est le premier mobile de la consultation médicale, elle est le signe qui ne trompe plus personne sur la nécessité d'un soulagement. Pourtant, même si la pratique médicale est souvent évoquée dans ce texte, le regard porte plutôt sur l'homme souffrant. David Le Breton aborde la douleur sur un plan anthropologique et analyse la relation que l'homme entretient avec elle tout en le situant dans la trame sociale et culturelle qui le baigne et lui donne ses valeurs et l'orientation de ses conduites. Cet ouvrage constitue un nouveau chapitre de l'anthropologie du corps, où la douleur joue le rôle d'un analyseur fécond pour saisir la dimension symbolique de la relation de l'homme à son corps.
