Introduction: The 'Fat' Female Body: Pathological, Political and Phenomenological Imaginings -- -- PART 1 -- Positioning 'Fatness' in Our Cultural Imaginary -- The 'Normal' and the 'Pathological': 'Obesity' andthe Dis-eased 'Fat' Body -- 'Fat' Bodies as Virtual Confessors and Medical Morality-- -- PART 2 -- Fed up with Fat-Phobia: Coming Out as 'Fat' -- Fat Pride and the Insistence on the Voluntarist Subject -- Fattening Up Foucault: A 'Fat' Counter-Aesthetic? -- -- PART 3 -- Throwing OffDiscourse? Questions of Ambivalence and the Mind/Body Split -- ('Fat') 'Being-In-The-World': Merleau-Ponty's account of the 'body-subject' -- Embodiment as Ambiguity: 'Fatness' as it is Lived -- -- Afterword: 'Fat' Bodily Being.

Investigating the current interest in obesity and fatness, this bookexplores the problems andambiguities that form the lived experience of 'fat' women in contemporary Western society. Engagingwith dominant ideas about 'fatness', and analysing the assumptions that inform anti-fat attitudes in the West, The 'Fat' Female Body explores the moral panicover the 'obesity epidemic', and the intersection of medicine and morality in pathologising 'fat' bodies. It contributes to the emerging fieldoffat studies by offering not only alternative understandings of subjectivity, the (re)production of public knowledge(s) of 'fatness', and politics of embodiment, but also the possiblility of (re)reading 'fat' bodies to foster more productive social relations.
