Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterScientificpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter explores the role of embodied sauna practices and performance in the Finnish tradition of using a sauna. The ritual, which is usually enjoyed by Finnish people in the naked, is documented and re-evaluated from the perspective of cross-cultural use by people othern than Finnish and the role of this bodily ritual and fashion as ‘surrogate’ or second skin (Hamlyn, 2000, p. 42; Hemmings, 2008).
