This paper considers the spatial perceptions of the body located in twenty-one autobiographical narratives by Italian women who experienced anorexia or bulimia in the last three decades. The goal of the essay is not to present a picture of the social etiology of anorexia in Italy, but to highlight the importance of space as an analytic tool for understanding how anorexic women experience and construct their body and subjectivity in interaction with other social actors within spatialized social structures. The author will then propose a sociological-phenomenological approach for thinking about anorexia spatially, departing from a multilayer understanding of space as material, social, symbolic and relational at the same time.

Abstract

This paper considers the spatial perceptions of the body located in twenty-one autobiographical narratives by Italian women who experienced anorexia or bulimia in the last three decades. The goal of the essay is not to present a picture of the social etiology of anorexia in Italy, but to highlight the importance of space as an analytic tool for understanding how anorexic women experience and construct their body and subjectivity in interaction with other social actors within spatialized social structures. The author will then propose a sociological-phenomenological approach for thinking about anorexia spatially, departing from a multilayer understanding of space as material, social, symbolic and relational at the same time.
