- Description
- Writing against the grain of popular perception and moral panic, Shauna Pomerantz offers a look at the importance of style for girls in school. Fighting assumptions that girls today are dupes of media and capitalism, she argues that style is a significant cultural practice that demands to be taken seriously in the lives of girls. Based on an ethnography at an urban, multicultural high school in Vancouver's east side, Pomerantz contextualizes style as a form of expression that enables girls to produce fluid and multiple identities, social networks, individual images, expressions of agency and power, and cultural affiliations. She strikes a balance between making visible the impact of external forces on the girls in her study, and arguing the poststructuralist position that the girls have agency.

- Description
- Throughout the Western world, people have come to believe that general dissatisfaction can be relieved by some change in their bodies. Here Susie Orbach explains the origins of this condition, and examines its implications. Challenging the Freudian view that bodily disorders originate and progress in the mind, she argues that we should look at self-mutilation, obesity, anorexia, and plastic surgery on their own terms, through a reading of the body itself. Incorporating the latest research from neuropsychology, as well as case studies from her own practice, she traces many of these fixations back to the relationship between mothers and babies, to anxieties that are transferred unconsciously. She reveals how vulnerable our bodies are, how susceptible to every kind of negative stimulus--from a nursing infant sensing a mother's discomfort to a grown man or woman feeling inadequate because of a model on a billboard. .In the past several decades, a globalized media has overwhelmed us with images of an idealized, westernized body, and conditioned us to see any exception to that ideal as a problem. The body has become an object, a site of production and commerce in and of itself. Instead of our bodies making things, we now make our bodies. Orbach reveals the true dimensions of the crisis, and points the way toward healing and acceptance.

- This book addresses the transformation of the exotic dance industry, focusing on the ways that corporate chains have changed both the performance and reception of striptease.

With case studies.
