Gender, body, art, ethics and sports

Culture is lived through the body, judged as art, debated as ethics, and played as sport. A woman told how to dress, a painting praised in one gallery and ignored in another, a debate over fair play, and a cricket crowd chanting for the nation all reveal the same truth: taste, morality, and play are social. This chapter links gender and the body, art and aesthetics, ethics and morality, and sports and culture.
