Normative ideas of the body and beauty in particular shape images of the self and the world; they produce bodies that create inequalities and reflect the prevailing relations of power and violence. Which bodies are represented and how? Whose gaze determines them? Which bodies are not shown or only shown in a particular way and in a particular context? \u003ci\u003eTalking Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e examines mechanisms of representation of the body in media culture--posters and advertisements--from gender stereotypes to images of Black bodies and the representation of disabled and non-normative bodies. With its focus on the construction and impact of body images and on possible strategies of resistance, \u003ci\u003eTalking Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e offers a critical contribution to current debates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 8.6 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 16, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42156797657223,"sku":"9783037787342","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/59f437d77f7c2ac26c3cc355cd338d5c.webp?v=1733246403","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/talking-bodies-image-power-impact-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
