Men’s fitness as a performance—from nineteenth-century theatrical exhibitions to health and wellness practices today This book recounts the story of fitness culture from its beginnings as spectacles of strongmen, weightlifters, acrobats, and wrestlers to its legitimization in the twentieth-century in the form of competitive sports and health and wellness practices. Broderick D. V. Chow shows how these modes of display contribute to the construction and deconstruction of definitions of masculinity. Attending to its theatrical origins, Chow argues for a more nuanced understanding of fitness culture, one informed by the legacies of self-described Strongest Man in the World Eugen Sandow and the history of fakery in strongman performance; the philosophy of weightlifter George Hackenschmidt and the performances of martial artist Bruce Lee; and the intersections of fatigue, resistance training, and whiteness. Muscle Works: Physical Culture and the Performance of Masculinity moves beyond the gym and across the archive, working out techniques, poses, and performances to consider how, as gendered subjects, we inhabit and make worlds through our bodies.

Uprostřed zimy je v dublinském parku nalezeno mrtvé tělo staré ženy. Brzy vyjde najevo, že případ může sahat daleko do minulosti.Co spojuje tuto vraždu s mladou matkou, které bylo před více než třiceti lety z náruče vytrženo novorozeně? A jakou roli v případu hraje řád Magdalenek? Vyšetřování se ujímá zkušený inspektor Tom Reynolds. Je přesvědčen, že vražda souvisí s historií nechvalně proslulých Magdalénských prádelen, kam byly dříve posílány „padlé ženy“. Reynoldse a jeho tým dovedou stopy až do odlehlého kláštera na irském venkově. Blíží se Vánoce, ale tým detektivů se brzy začne obávat, že se ke svým blízkým hned tak nevrátí. Jakmile totiž dorazí na místo, je všem jasné, že vrah jim je nablízku... a že se za hříchy minulosti hodlá mstít dál.
