Description:

Sehlikoglu follows the latest anthropological scholarship that defines desire beyond the moment it is felt, experienced, or even yearned for, and as something that is formed through a series of social and historical makings.

Review Quotes: An engaging and theoretically informed ethnographic account of Istanbulite women's interest in sport and exercise (spor meraki), which has transformed these women's lives in myriad ways.-- "Journal of Middle East Women's Studies"
