Considering everything from Nike ads, emaciated models, and surgically altered breasts to the culture wars and the O.J. Simpson trial, Susan Bordo deciphers the hidden life of cultural images and the impact they have on our lives. She builds on the provocative themes introduced in her acclaimed work Unbearable Weight--which explores the social and political underpinnings of women's obsession with bodily image--to offer a singularly readable and perceptive interpretation of our image-saturated culture. As it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between appearance and reality, she argues, we need to rehabilitate the notion that not all versions of reality are equally trustworthy. Bordo writes with deep compassion, unnerving honesty, and bracing intelligence. Looking to the body and bodily practices as a concrete arena where cultural fantasies and anxieties are played out, she examines the mystique and the reality of empowerment through cosmetic surgery. Her brilliant discussion of sexual harassment reflects on the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill controversy as well as the film Disclosure. She suggests that sexuality, although one of the mediums of harassment, is not its essence, and she calls for the recasting of harassers as bullies rather than sex fiends. Bordo also challenges the continuing marginalization of feminist thought, in particular the failure to read feminist work as cultural criticism. Finally, in a powerful and moving essay called "Missing Kitchens"--written in collaboration with her two sisters--Bordo explores notions of bodies, place, and space through a recreation of the topographies of her childhood. Throughout these essays, Bordo avoids dogma and easy caricature. Consistently, and on many levels, she demonstrates the profound relationship between our lives and our theories, our feelings and our thoughts.

De lange jaren vijftig liggen ingebed tussen twee perioden die tot voor kort de meeste aandacht van publiek en historici trokken. Aan de ene kant de tijd van bezetting en naoorlogse perikelen, aan de andere kant de spraakmakende jaren zestig en zeventig met hun protestgeneratie en een vloed aan nieuwe sociale bewegingen. De tussenliggende periode lijkt hierdoor traditioneel en onbeweeglijk en is zelfs als kleurloos, saai en truttig gekarakteriseerd. Deze bundel laat van dat beeld weinig over. Er was eerder sprake van 'een stille revolutie', zonder welke de luidruchtige jaren zestig ondenkbaar zouden zijn geweest. Weliswaar bleef de uiterlijke vorm van staat en samenleving nog onaangetast. Op het niveau van cultuur en mentaliteit echter raakten tradities en overgeleverde normen fundamenteel aan het wankelen en werden zekerheden grondig aangetast. Juist op dergelijke aspecten van een breed opgevatte cultuur- en mentaliteitsgeschiedenis van de lange jaren vijftig gaan de hier bijeengebrachte bijdragen systematisch in. De auteurs laten zien in welke sectoren, onder welke groepen en in welke mate zich de komende veranderingen toen al aandienden. Ter sprake komen daarbij onder meer het dagelijkse leven, het seksuele gedrag, de nieuwe jeugdcultuur, de positie van de vrouw, literatuur, wetenschap, godsdienst en de rol van de media, 4e de couv.

This book is not about siblings in a family; we'll use the word sibling as a metaphor. We'll try to make the phrase sibling society into a lens; bringing into focus certain tendencies, habits, and griefs we have all noticed. Adults regress toward adolescence; and adolescents - seeing that - have no desire to become adults. Few are able to imagine any genuine life coming from the vertical plane - tradition, religion, devotion. (Introduction, p. X.)

The modern society of consumption is a society of fashion. Fashion has extended its influence over various fields of social life and, together with taste, become central to our understanding of the inner dynamics of any modern society. The Sociology of Taste looks at the role of taste - or the aesthetic reflection - in society at large and in modern society in particular. Taking case studies from social life, for example eating and food culture, it illustrates the role of fashion in the formation of collective taste.
