The Circuit, an expression of gay culture, comprises large dance events?gatherings, celebrations, communions, festivals. Music and dance drive complex, shared performances?electronic house music played by professional DJs and mass ecstatic dancing that engenders communitas. Other performances, from drag queens and concerts to contests, theatrics, and the individual display of muscular bodies are part of the festivities.Body sculpting through muscle building is strongly associated with the Circuit, and masculine aggression is both displayed and parodied. Weems, a participant-observer with a multidisciplinary background in anthropology, folklore, religious studies, cultural studies, and somatic studies, considers the cultural and ethical dimensions of what to outsiders might seem to be just wild, flamboyant parties. He compares the Circuit to other traditions of ecstatic and communal dance, and uses his grounding in African-Brazilian Candomblé and in religious studies to illuminate spiritual experiences reported by Circuit participants. And, as a U.S. Marine, he offers the nonviolent masculine arrogance of Circuiteers as an alternative to the violent forms of masculine aggression embedded in the military and much of western culture. 606 $aGay men$zUnited States$xIdentity 606 $aGay culture$zUnited States 606 $aGay and lesbian dance parties$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aGay men$xIdentity. 615 0$aGay culture 615 0$aGay and lesbian dance parties$xSocial aspects 676 $a306.76/60973 700 $aWeems$b Mickey$0801380 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996212666203316 996 $aFierce Tribe$91802706 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03449nam 2200565 a 450 001 9910974218103321 005 20240313142043.0 010 $a9781608054534 010 $a1608054535 035 $a(CKB)2550000001040966 035 $a(EBL)1121698 035 $a(OCoLC)827207353 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000992355 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11531517 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000992355 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10934053 035 $a(PQKB)10927569 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1121698 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1121698 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10657086 035 $a(DE-B1597)731262 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781608054534 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001040966 100 $a20130226d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCurrent topics in menopause /$fedited by Volodymyr Dvornyk 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aSharjah, United Arab Emirates ;$aOak Park, Ill. $cBentham Science Publishers$d[2013?] 215 $a1 online resource (457 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9781608055159 311 08$a1608055159 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCover; Title; EUL; Contents; Foreword; Preface; List of Contributors; Chapter 01; Chapter 02; Chapter 03; Chapter 04; Chatper 05; Chapter 06; Chapter 07; Chapter 08; Chapter 09; Chapter 10; Chapter 11; Chapter 12; Chapter 13; Chapter 14; Index 330 $a"Menopause is a significant event in a woman's life as is generally considered as an indicator for senescence in women. Evidence suggests that menopause results in many psychological and postmenopausal health problems, such as anxiety, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorder and others. Menopausal symptoms and associated disorders are of great importance for public health as they influence the quality of life of affected individuals. Therefore proper management of menopause will definitely contribute to healthy aging and the overall well-being of women. This e-book reviews recent progress in the research and management of menopause and associated health problems. It provides comprehensive coverage of both clinical aspects and basic research of menopause. Topics covered in this e-book include research findings about risk factors for complex medical conditions associated with menopause along with the treatment options for these conditions, with particular emphasis on hormone replacement therapy (HRT). These conditions include osteoporosis, dementia, cardiovascular diseases, obesity and diabetes mellitus. Subsequent chapters detail on common oncological malignancies post menopause. The e-book concludes with a review of HRT treatment including its advantages and disadvantages followed by a review on risk factors, causes and complications of premature menopause occurring in women before an age of 40 years. This e-book is a valuable guide for medical researchers and gynecological professionals with a focus on the pathophysiology and treatment of this medical condition.". 606 $aMenopause 615 0$aMenopause. 676 $a618.1/75 700 $aDvornyk$b Volodymyr$01801998 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974218103321 996 $aCurrent topics in menopause$94347497 997 $aUNINA
