- Description
- The relationship between bodies and images has long occupied feminism. This book explores the way in which this relationship has primarily been approached and offers an alternative framework for analysis. Coleman moves from a consideration of media images, the focus of much feminist research, to examine images more widely: as mirrors, photographs, glimpses, comments, imagination. Addressing issues of appearance and selfhood, sex and gender, and temporality, the book takes a Deleuzian position to argue that bodies and images are not separable entities, but rather entangled processes of becoming. It asks the question: how do bodies become through images?
