The Weight of Images explores the ways in which media images can train their viewersOCO bodies, Proposing a shift away from an understanding of spectatorship as being constituted by acts of the mind, this book favours a theorization of relations between bodies and images as visceral, affective engagements that shape our body image with close attention to one particularly charged bodily characteristic in contemporary western culture: fat.
