Beschreibung

Why has sleep become increasingly politicized in contemporary society? This book provides an account of the politics of sleep in the late modern age. The future of sleep has become contested and uncertain: something to be defended, downsized or even perhaps (one day) done away with altogether.

He is author of ten books, including Sleep and Society; Medicine and the Body and Emotion and Social Theory, innumerable journal articles and book chapters, and edits a book series with Routledge, Critical Studies on Health and Society.
