Reading:
Niva Piran. 'Reinhabiting the Body.' Feminism and Psychology. 2001. 11 (2): 172-176.
Email me (bigs.postgrads@googlemail.com) if you would like a Pdf of the article.
Here are some questions to help guide your reading:
1) How significant is location in these teenage girl's experiences of their bodies?
2) Is Piran's description of the female body as 'a silent and oppressed domain' accurate?
3) How might Piran's position as a middle-aged, white immigrant to North America' feminist researcher impact on the participants telling of their experiences?
4) How can the body be 'reinhabited' by women?
