People of the Body: Jews and Judaism from an Embodied Perspective
ISBN: 9780791411704 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By shifting attention from the image of Jews as a textual community to the ways Jews understand and manage their bodies -- for example, to their concerns with reproduction and sexuality, menstruation and childbirth-- this volume contributes to a revisioning of what Jews and Judaism are and have been.

As a constructive project, this book describes, renews, and participates in the complex and ongoing modern discussion about the nature of Jewish bodies and the place of bodies in Judaism.

Society Against Itself: Political Correctness and Organizational Self-Destruction
ISBN: 9781855757639 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Political correctness involves much more than a restriction of speech. It represents a broad cultural transformation, a shift in the way people understand things and organize their lives; a change in the way meaning is made. The problem addressed in this book is that, for reasons the author explores, some ways of making meaning support the creation and maintenance of organization, while others do not. Organizations are cultural products and rely upon psychological roots that go very deep.The basic premise of this book is that organizations are made up of the rules, common understandings, and...

Off with Her Head!
ISBN: 9780520088405 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Whereas many books look at how women's bodies are represented in different religions and cultures around the world, this work explores the site of a woman's voice and identity, her head. The female head threatens to disrupt the classic gender distinctions that link men to speech, identity, and mind while relegating women to silence, anonymity, and flesh. The contributors to this collection argue that the objectification of women as sexual and reproductive bodies results in their symbolic beheading. Decapitation occurs symbolically in myths as well as in actual practices such as...
