ISBN: 9780415911498 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Anthropologist Linda Layne takes a theoretically informed approach to the topic of miscarriage and stillbirth. About 20 per cent of all pregnancies in the US end in miscarriage or stillbirth, yet pregnancy loss is not a socially accepted topic of discussion.

Outside Belongings
ISBN: 9780415915847 / Angielski / Miękka / 181 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Outside Belongings argues against a psychological depth model of identity--one in which individuals possess an intrinsic quality that guarantees authentic belonging. Instead, Probyn proposes a model of identity that takes into account the desires of individuals, and groups of individuals, to belong. The main ideas she considers--"the outside," "the surface," and "belonging"--allow her to articulate, in concrete terms, her precise concerns about sexuality and nationality.
