Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Looking at cosmetic surgery and, more generally, aesthetic transformations of the body through the lens of abjection is a novel approach that yields an interesting and profound understanding of the beauty culture. Covino skillfully and successfully applies this perspective to a wide variety of phenomena within medicine and popular culture. She uncovers our culture's deep-seated fears of the abject body and presents a wonderful vision of a culture where we might live with--or develop partnership with--abjection. This is an important contribution to cultural studies on the body and body modification."

Reseña del editor:

Examines the implications and meanings of the makeover and aesthetic surgery industry in American popular culture.
