Book Synopsis Circumcision on the Couch by : Jordan Osserman
Download or read book Circumcision on the Couch written by Jordan Osserman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Independent Book of the Month Penises, and the things people do with them, have been subjects of controversy for a long time. This book examines how one thing that some people do to penises-remove the foreskin-has become a site upon which vital questions of gender, race, religion, sexuality, and psychic life are negotiated. While most contemporary work on the subject is concerned with whether circumcision is right or wrong, safe or harmful, Circumcision on the Couch takes as its starting point that the significance of male circumcision exceeds anatomical and juridical considerations. Deploying a feminist Lacanian framework, while drawing from a wide range of archival sources and critical thought, Jordan Osserman asks: How can psychoanalysis help us shed light on the ideologies, discourses, and fantasies surrounding circumcision and the impassioned stances for and against it? And how might the history of circumcision, in turn, allow us to re-assess and clarify how we understand the split (or “snipped”) subject of psychoanalysis?

Book Synopsis Morality, Violence, and Ritual Circumcision by : Na'ama Carlin
Download or read book Morality, Violence, and Ritual Circumcision written by Na'ama Carlin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the Jewish ritual of circumcision to consider how violent acts are embedded within entrenched moral discourses and offers a new perspective for thinking about violence. Intervening in contemporary debates on the Jewish ritual of circumcision, it departs from both the ordinary secular defences of circumcision for medical reasons, and the criticisms that consider it an unethical violation of bodies that cannot consent. An examination of the intersection of violence and morality, this book rejects the binary logic on which popular debates on circumcision hinge, arguing that in some instances violence can be a productive experience and can thus be considered beyond ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Engaging with the works of Jacques Derrida, the author puts forward a framework of violence of ontology, which is characterised as a violence that is related to existence, the violence of being, which resists definition through binary oppositions. In so doing, the author contends that circumcision is in fact a form of generative violence that is leveraged for cultural purposes and inherent in the making of bodies. As such, this volume offers a compelling framework that investigates the relationship between bodies, identities, ethics, and violence, and will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology, social theory, and religion with interests in the sociology of the body, ritual, and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Belonging is a not a state that we achieve, but a struggle that we wage. The struggle for belonging is more difficult if one is returning to a homeland after many years abroad. In Pursuit of Belonging is an ethnography of Turkish migrants’ struggle for understanding, intimacy and appreciation when they return from Germany to their Turkish homeland. Drawing on an established tradition of life story writing in anthropology, Rottmann conveys the struggle to forge an ethical life by relating the experiences of a second-generation German-Turkish woman named Leyla.

Book excerpt: "A self-proclaimed 'Hungarian Communist Jew for Christ', twelve-year-old Robi Singer has a lot on his plate. He is a 'half-orphan', he is painfully overweight and what's more, he has yet to be circumcised. With his Bar Mitzvah fast approaching, the pressure is on. To make matters worse, Robi's not sure he wants to be Jewish at all." "As his hypochondriac mother is more concerned about her secret affair with 'Uncle' Moric, Robi's only ally against the teachers at his Jewish school is his eccentric, headstrong grandmother. It seems everyone has an opinion on what he should do, but ultimately Robi must make his own decision."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Exploring Masculinities by : Professor Martha Albertson Fineman
Download or read book Exploring Masculinities written by Professor Martha Albertson Fineman and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by leading experts in the area, this volume investigates the ways in which emerging masculinities theory in law could inform feminist legal theory in particular and law in general. As many of the chapters in this collection illustrate, law is constantly in a dynamic interaction with masculinities: it has both influenced existing masculinities and has been influenced by those masculinities. The contributions focus feminist and critical theoretical attention on masculinities and consider the implications of masculinities theory for law and legal theory.
Book Synopsis Exploring Masculinities by : Martha Albertson Fineman
Download or read book Exploring Masculinities written by Martha Albertson Fineman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While masculinities theory has had much to say on relationships of subordination, few feminist legal scholars have examined the implications of masculinities theory for feminist legal theory. This volume investigates the ways in which emerging masculinities theory in law could inform feminist legal theory in particular and law in general. As many of the chapters in this collection illustrate, law is constantly in a dynamic interaction with masculinities: it has both influenced existing masculinities and has been influenced by those masculinities. The contributions focus feminist and critical theoretical attention on masculinities and consider the implications of masculinities theory for law and legal theory. The book sets out the theoretical trajectory of masculinities studies as a field and its application in law and uses insights from a masculinities approach to study socio-political construction of gender identities in specific settings. It also explores how understanding historical construction of gender identities can inform more effective public policy and activism. Written by leading experts in the area, the book poses important questions about the development of the relationship between feminisms and masculinities theory and will be essential reading for those working in law and gender and related areas.
