TextPublisher: Manchester University Press, Description: 1 online resource (161 p.)ISBN: 9781526116352Subject(s): Social Science | Social Science / Gender Studies | Social sciencesGenre/Form: Electronic books.Online resources: View this content on Open Research Library. Summary: A Table for One explores the links between female singlehood and social time, juxtaposing two theoretical fields that are rarely linked: the social study of time and the study of singlehood. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this book paves the way for a new theorisation of singlehood which will put it at the fore of deconstructive critical thinking and on the feminist agenda. Although the rise in the number of single-women households has sparked a new wave of singlehood scholarship, the concept remains relatively under-theorised and under-incorporated into social and feminist research, and critical studies in general. Drawing on a wide variety of cultural resources-including web columns, blogs, expert advice columns, popular cliches, advertisements and references from television episodes-this book sketches the meaning-making processes of singlehood and time in Israel.
