{"product_id":"the-body-of-the-prison-linda-vakhrameeva-9783639055597","title":"The Body of the Prison","description":"This thesis examines a number of historical, mythical and theological interpretations of women and the female body, as perceived by the ancient Greeks and by the religious writings of Christianity and Judaism, as a means of addressing the site, program, materiality and spatial organization of a maternity prison. The setting up of a parallel spatial, material, and metaphoric association between the productive body of the mother and the edifying body of the prison aims to make palpable in architectural form the transitional internal experience of women through their pregnancy and into motherhood. Themes of sin, punishment, confinement (containment), and redemption as related to women, drawn from the misogynistic connotations imposed by associations with mythical and allegorical figures, are used to form critical spatial, symbolic and literal design relationships between the female body and the body of the prison.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Vakhrameeva\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639055594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639055597\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d","brand":"Linda Vakhrameeva","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446277386495,"sku":"9783639055597","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95adb579-ca1d-4936-878e-4ae8bc342f81.jpg?v=1777223676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-body-of-the-prison-linda-vakhrameeva-9783639055597","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
