This book is an interdisciplinary exploration of the different ways the body is taught. It details the meticulous training and shaping of the body in a diversity of settings, ranging from the school, university, and workplace, to the theatre, cinema, art gallery, and bedroom. What kind of body does all this teaching aim to produce? How should bodies behave in relation to themselves and others? How far are bodies educated in ways of which we are not even aware? These are just a few of the questions posed by the authors in this lively collection.
