Punching Back - Gender, Religion And Belonging In Women-Only Kickboxing

by Jasmijn Rana

22,04€ + 10% CARD

 In the Netherlands, girls and young women are increasingly active in women-only kickboxing. The general assumption, in the Netherlands and in western Europe more broadly, is that womens sport is a form of secular, feminist empowerment. Muslim womens participation would then exemplify the incongruence of Islam with the modern, secular nation-state. Punching Back provides a detailed ethnographic study that contests this view by showing that young Muslim women who kickbox establish agentive selves by playing with gender norms, challenging expectations, and living out their religious subjectivities.

Where Saints Show Respect - Mafia, Modernity, And Rituals Of Power

by Berardino Palumbo

~~26,43€~~ 23,79€ 10% OFF

 Where Saints Show Respect reveals the penetration of mafia values in Sicilian society. Instead of focusing on sensational criminality, this study considers rituals through which local society learns deep respect sometimes fearful, but often playful or pious for those values and their enforcers. State and Church misconstrue these values as vestiges of a society morally damned and left behind in a pagan past. This study draws on three decades of ethnographic research to explore a strikingly different Sicily from the self-congratulatory version of government and religious leaders, where a seemingly obscure set of rural practices offers a critical perspective on modernity itself.
