Book Murder City : The Bloody History of Chicago in the Twenties by Michael Lesy in PDF, MOBIThe book's contributors call on extensive backgrounds in sociology, anthropology, theater, literature-even military studies-and use a variety of approaches to address common themes and genres of presentation, performance, and style in a wide range of historical settings and cultures.Born as a boy to a paranoid schizophrenic mother, Lepore always knew that she was a girl.Wide-ranging yet intimate, philosophical, yet clear-sighted, this important book does what no other has done before-presents childlessness in a multifaceted and positive light., In a society where most women grow up thinking they will become mothers, not having a child is often met with incredulity.Together, they create a body of work featuring the full range of women's erotic expression.Drawn from an intensive ethnographic fieldwork in southern Orissa, each section of the book takes a close look at a specific ritual practice, in exploring concepts such as purity/pollution, religious observances (such as fasting), deity possession, associated beliefs and attitudes, as also celebrated traditions such as Thakurani Yatra, local processions, and the role of female ritual specialists.It engages with the work of Gillian Rose, Rosemary Hennessy, Doreen Massey, Patricia Hill Collins, and Katherine McKittrick, to argue that spaces are instrumental in resisting intersecting oppressions, in subverting traditional national models and in constructing alternative imaginaries.
