{"product_id":"little-vast-rooms-of-undoing-dara-blumenthal-9781783480357","title":"Little Vast Rooms of Undoing: Exploring Identity and Embodiment through Public Toilet Spaces","description":"Public toilets are places where individual identity is put to the test through experiences of fear, anxiety, shame, and embarrassment, yet also places where we shore up, confirm, and check the status of our gendered identities. In these highly gendered and sex-segregated places, people of various and varied identities come together and separately conduct their 'business' through socially contingent toileting habits and behaviors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on empirical research with men, women, gender non-conforming, and trans individuals who have a range of sexual identities, Little Vast Rooms of Undoing attempts to understand a nearly universal aspect of daily life in the contemporary West. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough a meditation on socially dictated practices and their associated emotions, it argues that experiences within public toilets expose the fissures of individual identity construction and understanding and opening the possibilities for a more relational and cohesive experience of the embodied self. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dara Blumenthal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783480351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783480357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.12w x 0.71d","brand":"Dara Blumenthal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984296575231,"sku":"9781783480357","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_244190ce-e97b-48d5-9147-70e3dbe9f60b.jpg?v=1683271576","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/little-vast-rooms-of-undoing-dara-blumenthal-9781783480357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
