{"product_id":"embracing-arms-helena-goscilo-9786155225093","title":"Embracing Arms: Cultural Representation of Slavic and Balkan Women in War","description":"Discursive practices during war polarize and politicize gender: they normally require men to fulfill a single, overriding task--destroy the enemy--but impose a series of often contradictory expectations on women. The essays in the book establish links between political ideology, history, psychology, cultural studies, cinema, literature, and gender studies and addresses questions such as-- what is the role of women in war or military conflicts beyond the well-studied victimization? Can the often contradictory expectations of women and their traditional roles be (re)thought and (re)constructed? How do cultural representations of women during war times reveal conflicting desires and poke holes in the ideological apparatus of the state and society?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helena Goscilo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6155225095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786155225093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Central European University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013","brand":"Helena Goscilo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526294458623,"sku":"9786155225093","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16592ed0-7842-4be4-81a5-afeb6196e5ae.jpg?v=1737555756","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/embracing-arms-helena-goscilo-9786155225093","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
