{"product_id":"almost-but-not-quite-bored-andrea-matosevic-9781800731356","title":"Almost, But Not Quite Bored in Pula: An Anthropological Study of the Tapija Phenomenon in Northwest Croatia","description":"\u003cp\u003e Based on interviews and fieldwork conducted among residents of Pula, a coastal city in Northwestern Croatia, this study explores various aspects of a local feeling of boredom. This is mirrored in the term tapija, a word of Turkish origin describing a property deed, and in Pula's urban slang it has morphed from its original sense describing a set of affective states into one of lameness, loneliness, unwillingness, and irony. Combining lively conversations with a significant bibliography of the topic, the result is a compelling local anthropological study of boredom in a wider historical and global context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Matosevic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800731353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800731356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Andrea Matosevic","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991056548095,"sku":"9781800731356","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be4da5fa-ef32-48fa-b7d9-afe303697964.jpg?v=1683308188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/almost-but-not-quite-bored-andrea-matosevic-9781800731356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
