The Cosmetic Gaze: Body Modification and the Construction of Beauty
ISBN: 9780262529662 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It is, Wegenstein says, also a moralizing gaze, a way of looking at bodies as awaiting both physical and spiritual improvement. In The Cosmetic Gaze, Wegenstein charts this synthesis of outer and inner...
