Situated within a growing body of literature analysing the impact of new training trends on an individual’s body, identity, lifestyle and perception of his/her social surroundings, Extreme Sports, Extreme Bodies focuses on the gendered and embodied experiences of bodybuilding, Ironman triathlon, and mixed martial arts. Through their ethnographic analysis, Andreasson and Johansson present a unique and updated account of the increasing phenomenon of extreme sports and extreme bodies in contemporary Western society, grounded in the sociology of sport, body studies and embodiment literature.BodybuildingSocial aspectsGender identityHuman bodySocial aspectsBody imageSocial aspectsBodybuildingSocial aspects.Gender identity.Human bodySocial aspects.Body imageSocial aspects.796.046Andreasson Jesperauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut942275Johansson Thomas1959-MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910337707203321Extreme Sports, Extreme Bodies2519355UNINA
