• Pro-anorexia Communities and Online Interaction: Bringing the Pro-ana Body Online (2012, background): “…that even with this more psychologized understanding of self-starvation there are still moral meanings associated with these practices, particularly as individual and social health are increasingly seen as moral obligations of good citizenship (Boero, 2007; Dworkin and Wachs, 2009; Metzl, 2010).”
