"You Will Change Your Mind": The Controlling Function of Microaggressions on the Minds of Parents and Non-parents / Adi Avivi"Recently, childfree people have been foregrounded in mainstream media. More than seven percent of Western women choose to remain childfree and this figure is increasing. Being childfree challenges the 'procreation imperative' residing at the center of our hetero-normative understandings, occupying an uneasy position in relation to-simultaneously-traditional academic ideologies and prevalent social norms. After all, as Adi Avivi recognizes, "if a woman is not a mother, the patriarchal social order is in danger." This collection engages with these (mis)perceptions about childfree people: in media representations, demographics, historical documents, and both psychological and philosophical models. Foundational pieces from established experts on the childfree choice--Rhonny Dam, Laura Lisle, Christopher Clausen, and Berenice Fisher--appear alongside both activist manifestos and original scholarly work, comprehensively brought together. Academics and activists in various disciplines and movements also riff on the childfree life: its implications, its challenges, its conversations, and its agency-all in relation to its inevitability in the 21st century. Childfree across the Disciplines unequivocally takes a stance supporting the subversive potential of the childfree choice, allowing readers to understand childfreedom as a sense of continuing potential in who-or what-a person can become"--Provided by publisherChildfree choicefast(OCoLC)fst01764587Childfree choicechildless, childfree, mainstream media, Western women, procreation, procreation imperative, heteronormative, hetero-normative, heteronormativity, social norms, Adi Avivi, motherhood, mother, patriarchy, patriarchal, stereotype, gender stereotypes, women's right, feminist, feminism, activists, childfreedom, social values, gender roles, women without children, microaggressions, parents, non-parents, self-care, childcare, reproduction, reproductive, mainstream cinema, representation of women, representation of childless women, television, An Atypical Chick: A Gay Man in a Woman's Body, cost of children, womanhood, feminine, femininity, othered, stigma, conceive, pregnant, pregnancy, fertility, fertility clinic, infertility, fulfillment, life goals, life milestone, giving birth, give birth, babies, children, child.Childfree choice.Childfree choice.306.87Thornley Davinia1728938Fisher Berenice1728939Brewster Melanie1728940Snow Olivia1728941Avivi Adi1728942Shigihara Amanda Michiko1728943Clausen Christopher1728944Carroll Laura1728945Cherjovsky Natalia1728946Dam Rhonny1728947MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910838307903321Childfree Across the Disciplines4138430UNINA05605nam 22008415 450 991084715480332120250905110039.0978082487335608248733519780824882440082488244X9780824877040082487704710.1515/9780824877040(CKB)4100000007598659(DE-B1597)513304(OCoLC)1083616904(DE-B1597)9780824877040(ScCtBLL)522222d9-ac31-419d-b032-c5d380d56cb8(Perlego)1318890(MiAaPQ)EBC32223075(Au-PeEL)EBL32223075(ODN)ODN0004005316(EXLCZ)99410000000759865920190828d2018 fg engur||#||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierIntimate Japan Ethnographies of Closeness and Conflict /Allison Alexy, Emma E.

Reflections on Fieldwork /Alexy, Allison / Cook, Emma E. --Contributors --IndexHow do couples build intimacy in an era that valorizes independence and self-responsibility? How can a man be a good husband when full-time jobs are scarce? How can unmarried women find fulfillment and recognition outside of normative relationships? How can a person express their sexuality when there is no terminology that feels right? In contemporary Japan, broad social transformations are reflected and refracted in changing intimate relationships. As the Japanese population ages, the low birth rate shrinks the population, and decades of recession radically restructure labor markets, Japanese intimate relationships, norms, and ideals are concurrently shifting.This volume explores a broad range of intimate practices in Japan in the first decades of the 2000s to trace how social change is becoming manifest through deeply personal choices. From young people making decisions about birth control to spouses struggling to connect with each other, parents worrying about stigma faced by their adopted children, and queer people creating new terms to express their identifications, Japanese intimacies are commanding a surprising amount of attention, both within and beyond Japan. With ethnographic analysis focused on how intimacy is imagined, enacted, and discussed, the volume's chapters offer rich and complex portraits of how people balance personal desires with feasible possibilities and shifting social norms.Intimate Japan will appeal to scholars and students in anthropology and Japanese or Asian studies, particularly those focusing on gender, kinship, sexuality, and labor policy. The book will also be of interest to researchers across social science subject areas, including sociology, political science, and psychology.Intimate JapanIntimacy (Psychology)Social aspectsJapanSocial changeJapanSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & SocialbisacshJapanSocial life and customs1945-Intimacy (Psychology)Social aspectsSocial changeSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & Social.303.4Kuwajima Kaoru;Goldfarb, Kathryn E.;Cook, Emma E.;Dales, Laura;Dale, S.
