- Description
- 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. The author, drawing on her own experience as an exotic dancer, examines the ways that striptease embodies conflicting notions of race, class, and female sexuality, and how the exotic dance industry deploys these differences to codify and commodify our erotic imagination. With case studies.

- Description
- The author maps how transnational itineraries of Indian beauty and fashion shaped South Asian American cultural identities and racialized belonging from the 1990s through the first decade of the twenty-first century. She observes how diasporic subjects engage with and respond to various encounters with Indian beauty and fashion. .She examines a range of literature, visual art, and live performance, such as novels by Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri, young adult literature, performance art by Shailja Patel, beauty and adornment practices, as well as objects of popular culture including an Indian American fashion doll, Reddy challenges fashion and beauty as a set of dematerialized, overly commodified cultural practices. She argues instead that beauty and fashion structure South Asian Americans' uneven access to social mobility, capital, and citizenship, and she demonstrates their varying capacities to produce social attachments across national, class, racial, gender, and generational divides.

- Description
- In 1978, feminist author Kate Millett founded an art colony for women in Poughkeepsie, United States, that remained in operation until the beginning of the new millennium. The colony was founded out of a belief that a gender-specific community would provide an environment where women artists could work unencumbered by social stigma. Millett Farm, familiarly referred to as 'The Farm', evolved from incorporating elements of the radical feminist, gay liberation, and avant-garde movements, creating an experimental community devoted to both the production and the discussion of art made by women. .In 2010 Millett invited S.O.J. - Sisters of Jam (Moa and Mikaela Krestesen) to stay with her at The Farm. This was the starting point for this cultural portrait of The Farm as an artist colony, a feminist community, a social experiment and an act of opposition. Contains interviews with past residents and photographs of The Farm. Also with journal entries, texts from the dissertation 'A world we have invented here' and a map of The Farm by Anne B. Keating. This book has been made possible by Swedish art funds and musea.
