Abstract

" Le rouge à lèvres est un symbole à la fois de l'émancipation des femmes et de leur oppression. "Tout part d'un simple geste, celui de farder sa bouche. Un geste anodin, associé par excellence à la féminité, dans lequel se jouent pourtant nombre d'invisibles dialectiques. Symbole d'émancipation des femmes ou de leur soumission, emblème de patriotisme ou de trahison, de conformisme ou de rébellion, de plaisir ou d'aliénation... Il est un langage muet, mi-parure mi-porte-voix, qui raconte autant l'intime que le collectif. À travers les pérégrinations du bâton de rouge, qu'il se pose sur les lèvres des suffragettes, des prostituées, des garçonnes, des soldates ou des stars du cinéma, c'est bien de la place des femmes dans l'espace public qu'il est question ici. De la ruée dans les premiers grands magasins à la fin du xixe siècle à l'ère post-MeToo en passant par le lipstick feminism, le récit de Rebecca Benhamou frappe à toutes les portes, donnant la parole aussi bien à Zola qu'à Madonna, à Fitzgerald qu'à Colette, à Roosevelt qu'à Vivienne Westwood.

Abstract

"In America, lipstick is the foundation of empires; it's a signature of identity; it's propaganda, self-expression, oppression, freedom, and rebellion. It's a multi-billion-dollar industry and one of our most iconic accessories of gender. This engaging and entertaining history of lipstick in America throughout the twentieth century and into the present will give readers a new view of the little tube's big place in modern America; marching with the Suffragettes, building Fortune 500 businesses, being present at Stonewall, and engineered for space travel"--

Abstract

"Avidly Reads is a series of short books about how culture makes us feel. Founded in 2012 by Sarah Blackwood and Sarah Mesle, Avidly—an online magazine supported by the Los Angeles Review of Books—specializes in short-form critical essays devoted to thinking and feeling. Avidly Reads is an exciting new series featuring books that are part memoir, part cultural criticism, each bringing to life the author’s emotional relationship to a cultural artifact or experience. Avidly Reads invites us to explore the surprising pleasures and obstacles of everyday life. This is a story about the emotional lives of ideas. As an avowed “theory head,” Jordan Alexander Stein confronts a contradiction: that the abstract, and often frustrating rigors of theory also produced a sense of pride and identity for him and his friends: an idea of how to be and a way to live. Although Stein explains what theory is, this is not an introduction or a how-to. Organized around five ways that theory makes us feel—silly, stupid, sexy, seething and stuck—Stein travels back to the late nineties to tell a story of coming of age at a particular moment and to measure how that moment lives on now."--
