Resource Type: Article
Published: 2014
A nude woman is the antithesis of the idealised veiled and submissive woman. Whilst nude protest is not the only way to resist Islamism and the veil, it is a very modern, practical and appropriate way of doing so. It also challenges discrimination against women and a system which profits from the commodification and sexualisation of women’s bodies.

Wikipedia article
Resource Type: Article
Nude swimming or skinny dipping is the practice of swimming naked, originally in natural bodies of water, but more recently in swimming pools or hot tubs. Most nude swimming today takes place on nude beaches, or at naturist facilities, and segregated public swimming areas or in private swimming pools. Most countries do not have specific laws regarding nude swimming, and the matter is regulated by social convention and practice. Some countries around the world strictly enforce social, religious and legal prohibitions against public nudity, including nude swimming. The term skinny-dip was first recorded in English in 1947 and is most commonly used in the United States.

- Nudity & Nudism -- Two Essays
Resource Type: Article
Published: 2013
Nudity is paradoxical - a bodily state that is seen as so banal or matter of fact that it is rarely given sustained conceptual or academic treatment, while all the while most societies subject it to intense regulation via customs, taboos, and laws. Nudity is customarily imagined as a “natural” state - since we are all born naked-and yet its powerful social and cultural regulation means that it is anything but simple or natural.

Public nudity, or nude in public (NIP), refers to nudity not in an entirely private context, that is, a person appearing nude in a public place or being able to be seen nude from a public place. Nudity in the privacy of a person's home or grounds is not considered public nudity, nor is nudity at privately owned facilities, such as gymnasia, swimming pools, saunas, or specific nudist clubs or resorts, where nudity commonly takes place.
