Entering an online support group on eating disorders
Stommel, W. Entering an online support group on eating disorders: A discourse analysis , Amsterdam : Rodopi 2010 285 pp. € 57.00 (pbk ) ISBN 978-90-420-2660-5 Stommel presents an analysis of the dynamics involved in joining an online community, framing this interactive process, through the vehicles of community and identity, as accomplishing the early stages of the Parsonian sick role.

Pharma in the bedroom . . . and the kitchen. . . . The pharmaceuticalisation of daily life
This paper examines the consequences of a new emphasis on lifestyle in the production, marketing and consumption of pharmaceuticals. Over the past decade, a range of medicines have become available that address aspects of lifestyle, while others have been the subject of lifestyle marketing. We argue, with recourse to a broad literature from the social sciences, economics and health services research and from our study of pharmaceutical consumptio…
What governs governance, and how does it evolve? The sociology of governance-in-action
Governance addresses a wide range of issues including social, economic and political continuity, security and integrity, individual and collective safety and the liberty and rights to self-actualization of citizens. Questions to be answered include how governance can be achieved and sustained within a social context imbued with cultural values and in which power is distributed unevenly and dynamically, and how governance impacts on individuals an…
You are what you eat? Vegetarianism, health and identity
What are health identities and how may we study them
This paper draws together findings from studies of health and identity to develop a model of health identities, based upon Deleuze and Guattari's approach to understanding the relationship between self, body and society. The model is used to inform a methodology for the empirical study of identities in relation to health and the body. Using a sample interview transcript, the methodology of analysis is demonstrated. The application of the model an…
I Love you to the Bones
With reference to an 'online ethnography' (Ward, 1999) carried out in the 'Anagrrl' [1] pro-anorexic (ana) asynchronous [2] web based community, I explore the radical, underground web-based pro-ana movement. The 'pro-ana' movement challenges established biomedical ideas surrounding the treatment of anorexia, based on the 'normalisation' of the body shape and weight. For participants of the pro-ana movement, the anorexic condition represents a for…

The Cyber-Ethnographic (Re)Construction of Two Feminist Online Communities
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that cyber-ethnography is the most appropriate tool in reaching an understanding of the online community. I argue that cyber-ethnography's reflexive qualities allow the characteristics of the online community to emerge. I demonstrate, through the cyber-ethnographic exploration of two feminist online communities, how the participants define their own perimeters. I suggest that the online community has two mai…
