{"product_id":"coroas-corpo-envelhecimento-casamento-e-infidelidade","title":"Crowns: body, aging, marriage and infidelity","description":"This book is the result of a constant questioning of what it means to be a woman in Brazilian culture. It is also a form of political resistance, explains anthropologist Mirian Goldenberg in *Crowns: Body, Aging, Marriage, and Infidelity*, a fundamental analysis of women's relationship with the effects of time. Mirian begins with the biological, psychological, and social reality represented by the body to provide a remarkable analysis of the female condition in our country. Mirian defends the idea that in Brazil, the body is capital, a desired asset even as a vehicle for social advancement. A sexy, young, slim, wrinkle-free, and fit body presupposes sacrifice, work, and financial investment. In Brazil, particularly in Rio de Janeiro, the perfect body is the only one that, even without clothes, is decently dressed. For the author, the body is the true garment: \"It is the body that must be displayed, molded, manipulated, worked, sewn, adorned, chosen, constructed, produced, imitated. It is the body that goes in and out of fashion. Clothing is merely an accessory for the valorization and display of this fashionable body,\" states Mirian. And how to age in this context? This is precisely the discussion that Coroas brings to the fore. A fundamental book for men and women of all ages. \"It is not a study intended to demonstrate erudition, to overwhelm the reader with data, tables, and quotations. No: the author's empathy with her subject and, above all, with the public is clear from the very first lines. Coroas: corpo, aging, casamento e infidelidade is a crucial book, but it is also a friendly, accessible book that uses modern forms of communication—the dialogues with experts in the field are particularly interesting,\" states Moacyr Scliar, who wrote the book's blurb.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159232168188,"sku":"9788501083166","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/5f2797ce2b23e4d971a9aff0b97d9c6c.jpg?v=1778322443","url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/coroas-corpo-envelhecimento-casamento-e-infidelidade","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
