Annotation

The collection of articles has been prepared based on the results of the project “Between discipline and experiment: body regimes of youth in everyday life in modern Russian socio-economic conditions” carried out within the framework of the HSE Research Foundation Program in 2011-2012. The book reflects the results of an empirical study on various aspects of body practices of Russian youth. Authors focus on what body images are formed in the youth environment, what practices, rules and interpretations of the treatment of one’s own body are implemented by young people in day-to-day life. Scholars concentrate on the working class youth. Individual and collective images of physicality are revealed through the study of hygienic, food, sexual, sport and consumer practices.
