Reviews

In Nakedness, Shame, and Embarrassment: A Long-Term Sociological Perspective, Barbara Gornicka asks why we have connected nakedness to feelings of shame. Drawing on work by Goffman, Freud, and others, she builds a theoretical framework for understanding nudity using Norbert Elias's theory of civilizing processes. ... This book will be of particular interest to those working in the area of sociology of the body. (Brett Lunceford, American Journal of Sociology, Vol. 123 (5), March, 2018)


Author Information
