Sehlikoglu follows the lat-est anthropological scholarship that defines desire beyond the moment it is felt, experienced, or even yearned for, and as something that is formed through a series of social and historical makings. She traces Istanbulite women's ever-increasing interest in exercise not merely to an interest in sport, but also to an interest in establishing a new self--one that attempts to escape from conventional feminine duties--and an investment in forming a more agentive, desiring, self. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWorking Out Desire\u003c\/i\u003e develops a multilayered analysis of how women use spor meraki to take themselves out of the domestic zone physically, emotionally, and also imaginatively. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSehlikoglu pushes back against the conventional boundaries of scholarly interest in Muslim women as pious subjects. Instead, it places women's desiring subjectivity at its center and traces women's agentive aspirations in the way they bend the norms which are embedded in the multiple patriarchal ideologies (i.e. nationalism, religion, aesthetics) which operate on their selves. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorking out Desire\u003c\/i\u003e presents the ways in which women's changing habits, leisure, and self-formation in the Muslim world and the Middle East are connected to their agentive capacities to shift and transform their conditions and socio-cultural capabilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sertaç Sehlikoglu\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815636954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815636953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.74h x 8.99w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021","brand":"Sertaç Sehlikoglu","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941650006271,"sku":"9780815636953","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5c12b32e-c4b5-4773-ba63-1355d357bff4.jpg?v=1681454160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/working-out-desire-serta-sehlikoglu-9780815636953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
