About The Book

Description

Author

If the gaze can be understood to mark the disjuncture between how we see ourselves and how we want to be seen by others the cosmetic gaze--in Bernadette Wegenstein''s groundbreaking formulation--is one through which the act of looking at our bodies and those of others is already informed by the techniques expectations and strategies (often surgical) of bodily modification. It is Wegenstein says also a moralizing gaze a way of looking at bodies as awaiting both physical and spiritual improvement.
