Through a series of case studies of low-status interactive and embodied servicing work, Working Bodies examines the theoretical and empirical nature of the shift to embodied work in service-dominated economies.: Defines 'body work' to include the work by service sector employees on their own bodies and on the bodies of others; Sets UK case studies in the context of global patterns of economic change; Explores the consequences of growing polarization in the service sector; Draws on geography, sociology, anthropology, labour market studies, and feminist scholarship.
Note:
The rise of the service economy -- Thinking through embodiment : explaining interactive service employment -- Up close and personal : intimate work in the home -- Selling bodies I : sex work -- Selling bodies II : masculine strength and licensed violence -- Bodies in sickness and in health : care work and beauty work -- Warm bodies : doing deference in routine interactive work -- Conclusions : bodies in place.
