They are constantly being asked whether they are still single or will get married soon. They are lectured to, questioned, and threatened. It is often the language of time that punctuates many of the conversations a single woman finds herself involved in. Terms like \"still,\" \"ever-after,\" \"waste of time\" are a significant part of the discourse that constitutes the identity of the single woman in western culture.A Table for One is the first book to consider the profound relationship between singlehood and time. Drawing on a wide range of cultural resources-including web columns, blogs, advice columns, popular clich\u00e9s, advertisements, and references from television and cinema-Kinneret Lahad challenges conventional meaning-making processes surrounding the temporality of singlehood, raising fundamental questions about our social life. Lahad's unique approach makes it possible for us to explore and theorize singlehood through temporal categories such as waiting, wasting time, timeout, and accelerated ageing. Other concepts, such as the life course, linearity, and commodification of time, are considered as well. In this way, the book offers a new perspective, in which dominant perceptions concerning collective clocks, schedules, time tables, and the temporal organization of social life in general are radically recast. Proposing this new analytical direction, this book reworks common conceptions of singlehood, and presents a new theoretical arsenal with which the temporal paradigms that devalue and marginalize single women and women's subjectivity can be disarmed.","merchants_number":1,"ean":9781526115393,"category_id":1,"size":null,"min_price":89.0499999999999971578290569595992565155029296875,"low_price_merchant_id":1087639,"ID":17609901,"merchants":["dodax"],"brand":"undefined","slug":"a-table-for-one-a-critical-reading-of-singlehood-gender-and-time","url":"\/produkt\/a-table-for-one-a-critical-reading-of-singlehood-gender-and-time\/","low_price_merchant_name":null}
