Author Biography
Vigdis Broch-Due I. Rudie Department of Social Anthropology,University of Oslo Tone Bleie Chair, Michelsen's Institute, Bergen
Reviews"... advances the theoretical discourse on the anthropology of the body ... is also intriguing because it introduces the reader to the "hotbed" of Norwegian thought on gender." Folk 'There is something for everyone here and reading the volume in sequence, rather than dipping into individual chapters, was an unusually pleasurable experience. The changing foci and styles produced its own rhythm, engaging the attention and maintaining the reader's interest as a complex theoretical argument would be superseded by a more descriptive and evocative ethnographic account. [...] In allowing us access to contemporary Norwegian anthropology it is a most welcome contribution and in providing further studies of gender it should prove a useful resource for both teachers and students of sociology and anthropology.' Journal of Gender Studies
