Women on Their Own: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Being Single
ISBN: 9780813547763 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Despite what would seem some apparent likenesses, single men and single women are perceived in very different ways. Bachelors are rarely considered "lonely" or aberrant. They are not pitied. Rather, they are seen as having chosen to be "footloose and fancy free" to have sports cars, boats, and enjoy a series of unrestrictive relationships. Single women, however, do not enjoy such an esteemed reputation. Instead they have been viewed as abnormal, neurotic, or simply undesirable-attitudes that result in part from the long-standing belief that single women would not have chosen her life. Even...

How to Do It: Guides to Good Living for Renaissance Italians
ISBN: 9780226042008 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How to Do It shows us sixteenth-century Italy from an entirely new perspective: through manuals which were staples in the households of middlebrow Italians merely trying to lead better lives. Addressing challenges such as how to conceive a boy, the manuals offered suggestions such as tying a tourniquet around your husband's left testicle. Or should you want to goad female desires, throw 90 grubs in a liter of olive oil, let steep in the sun for a week and apply liberally on the male anatomy. Bell's journey through booklets long dismissed by scholars as being of little literary value...

Fate, Honor, Family and Village: Demographic and Cultural Change in Rural Italy Since 1800
ISBN: 9780202309163 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Italian peasantry has often been described as tragic, backward, hopeless, downtrodden, static, and passive. In Fate and Honor, Family and Village, Rudolph Bell argues against this characterization by reconstructing the complete demographic history of four country villages since 1800. He analyzes births, marriages, and deaths in terms of four concepts that capture more accurately and sympathetically the essence of the Italian peasant's life: Fortuna (fate), onore (honor, dignity), famiglia (family), and campanilismo (village). Fortuna is the cultural wellspring of Italian peasant society,...

Holy Anorexia
ISBN: 9780226042053 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is there a resemblance between the contemporary anorexic teenager counting every calorie in her single-minded pursuit of thinness, and an ascetic medieval saint examining her every desire? Rudolph M. Bell suggests that the answer is yes.
"Everyone interested in anorexia nervosa . . . should skim this book or study it. It will make you realize how dependent upon culture the definition of disease is. I will never look at an anorexic patient in the same way again." Howard Spiro, M.D., "Gastroenterology" " This] book is a first-class social history and is well-documented both in its...
