With a wedding impending, the Taiwanese bride-to-be turns to bridal photographers, makeup artists, and hair stylists to transform her image beyond recognition. They give her fairer skin, eyes like a Western baby doll, and gowns inspired by sources from Victorian England to MTV.An absorbing consideration of contemporary bridal practices in Taiwan, Framing the Bride shows how the lavish photographs represent more than mere conspicuous consumption. They are artifacts infused with cultural meaning and emotional significance, products of the gender- and generation-based conflicts in Taiwan's hybrid system of modern matrimony. From the bridal photographs, the book opens out into broader issues such as courtship, marriage, kinship, globalization, and the meaning of the "West" and "Western" cultural images of beauty.Bonnie Adrian argues that in compiling enormous bridal albums full of photographs of brides and grooms in varieties of finery, posed in different places, and exuding romance, Taiwanese brides engage in a new rite of passage-one that challenges the terms of marriage set out in conventional wedding rites. In Framing the Bride, we see how this practice is also a creative response to U.S. domination of transnational visual imagery-how bridal photographers and their subjects take the project of globalization into their own hands, defining its terms for their lives even as they expose the emptiness of its images.

Robe d'un jour ou de toute la vie, la robe de mariée est un symbole qui traduit les désirs de l'épousée, les conventions implicites de la société et l'imagination des couturiers. Parallèlement à l'exposition "Mariage" du musée Galliera, cet ouvrage raconte l'histoire de la robe de mariée et plus précisément encore celle de la robe blanche qui s'est, au fil du temps, imposée comme un incontournable stéréotype. Historiens et ethnologues se sont penchés sur l'origine et la signification des atours nuptiaux; créateurs et photographes ont réinventé et mis en scène une tenue qui allie conformisme et fantasme.

"Approaching writing as a form of cultural practice and understanding text as an historical object, this book not only recovers elements of the ritual practice of Middle-Period weddings, but also reassesses the relationship between texts and the Middle-Period past. Its fourfold narrative of the writing of weddings and its spirited engagement with the texts - ritual manuals, engagement letters, nuptial songs, calendars and almanacs, and legal texts - offer a form and style for a cultural history that accommodates the particularities of the sources of the Chinese imperial past."--BOOK JACKET
