{"product_id":"the-chosen-body-meira-weiss-9780804750806","title":"The Chosen Body: The Politics of the Body in Israeli Society","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines how the social and cultural paradigms of contemporary Israel are articulated through the body. To construct a panoramic view of how the Israeli body is chosen, regulated, cared for, and ultimately made perfect, the author draws upon some twenty years of ethnographic research in Israel in a range of subjects. These include premarital and prenatal screening, the regulation of the body and its imagery among appearance-impaired children and their families, the screening and sanctifying of the body as part of the bereavement and commemoration of fallen soldiers, and the discourse of the chosen body as it surfaces during terrorist attacks, military socialization, war, and the peace process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meira Weiss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804750807\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804750806\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.90w x 0.43d","brand":"Meira Weiss","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947218075903,"sku":"9780804750806","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c5d9a460-3fae-4d7a-bc04-d7512e15254c.jpg?v=1681517424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-chosen-body-meira-weiss-9780804750806","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
