{"product_id":"the-future-is-fat-jen-rinaldi-9780367714932","title":"The Future Is Fat: Theorizing Time in Relation to Body Weight and Stigma","description":"\u003cp\u003eFat bodies of today are commonly assumed to have no future at all. In this line of thinking, a fat life is framed as failure, and a fast track towards death itself. Meanwhile, the histories of modern fat existence, communities, activists, and artists have been essentially unknown, written out of origins and existence. Most medical and cultural evaluations of fat have rendered the fat body more and more visible, and yet the lived experiences of fat people are continually erased. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt a moment when scholars from various disciplines are contending with the question of who has a future, this book explores the relationship between fat experience and the social construction of time. The works in this volume draw from fields as diverse as social geography, women and gender studies, critical race theory, disability studies, cultural studies, visual art and craft, social work, communication studies, and queer theory, generating renewed understandings of the relationship between fatness and temporality. \u003ci\u003eThe Future Is Fat\u003c\/i\u003e reimagines understandings of time to allow for new expressions of fat experience. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eFat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jen Rinaldi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367714930\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367714932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Jen Rinaldi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982004486399,"sku":"9780367714932","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_540213b4-f282-46a2-86c3-e364c897d2c3.jpg?v=1683258740","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-future-is-fat-jen-rinaldi-9780367714932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
