About the Book

This edited collection explores the malleability and influence of body image, focusing particularly on how media representation and popular culture’s focus on the body exacerbates the crucial social influence these representations can have on audiences’ perceptions of themselves and others. Contributors investigate the cultural context and lived experiences of individuals’ relationships with their bodies, going beyond examination of the thin, ideal body type to explore the emerging representations and portrayals of a diverse set of body types across the media spectrum, paving the way for future research on this topic. Scholars of media studies, popular culture, and health communication will find this book particularly useful.

Review :
LeBlanc and Hopper have assembled an exciting and timely collection about popular discourses about, and media representations of, bodies, identities, and weight. Featuring chapters that engage contemporary size-related social issues, ad campaigns, influencers, and/or celebrities, contributors offer critical arguments and observations about embodiment and empowerment, shame and stigma, health and happiness, desire and desirability. “Employing themes from decades of research on body image disturbance, as well as themes from the body positivity literature and movement, the "One Size Does Not Fit All" volume provides a captivating examination of representations of the body in influential popular culture texts. The chapters traverse paradigms, methodologies, and theories, and together, provide compelling case studies of bodies in diverse texts -- from the emodiment of Lizzo to ever-present Instagram influencers to the anti-fat biases in Friends. This volume is an outstanding resource for media and body image scholars.” One Size Does Not Fit All fits solidly in the growing trend of communication scholarship that prioritizes inclusive, multi-methodological approaches to popular culture. From Lizzo and social media to television and advertising, this edited volume covers a range of production, representation, and interpretation of bodies and would be a worthy assigned text for courses in pop culture, gender, and the like.
