This book examines how the social and cultural paradigms of
contemporary Israel are articulated through the body. To construct
a panoramic view of how the Israeli body is chosen, regulated,
cared for, and ultimately made perfect, the author draws upon some
twenty years of ethnographic research in Israel in a range of
subjects. These include premarital and prenatal screening, the
regulation of the body and its imagery among appearance-impaired
children and their families, the screening and sanctifying of the
body as part of the bereavement and commemoration of fallen
soldiers, and the discourse of the chosen body as it surfaces
during terrorist attacks, military socialization, war, and the
peace process.
