Appearance and identityfashioning the body in postmodernity /[electronic resource] :Llewellyn Negrin. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - viii, 200 p. ;22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [173]-183) and indexes.

Appearance and identity -- Feminism and fashion -- Cosmetics and thefemale body -- Cosmetic surgery and the eclipse of identity -- Body art and men's fashion -- Ornament and the feminine -- Thepostmodern gender carnival.

This book critically examines recent theories of fashion which have sought to legitimize its pleasures and defend it as an avenue for self-expression. Through a series of essays which address different aspects of fashion in postmodern culture including the wearing of makeup, cosmetic surgery,tattoos, the role of ornament in dress and the blurring ofgender boundaries, it is argued that the greatest concern today lies not in the failure to acknowledge the pleasures of fashion, but, on the contrary, in the tendency to elevate it to a dominant position in everyday life where the cultivation of one's physical appearance supplants all other sources of identity formation.
