Description

Explore the complex relationship between media and physical standards in Media and the Rhetoric of Body Perfection. This book from Routledge provides a critical examination of the discourses surrounding physical perfection in Western societies. By looking at the rhetoric behind body anxieties, the text helps readers understand the social forces driving extreme weight loss and beautification methods. The content offers a deep look into the so-called obesity epidemic through various lenses. It uses rich interview material from cosmetic surgery patients to provide real-world perspectives on these social pressures. Additionally, the book analyzes popular culture texts to show how media shapes our views of beauty. Readers will find detailed studies of internationally-screened reality television shows such as The Biggest Loser, Extreme Makeover, and The Swan. This work is an essential resource for those studying the cultural politics of media and how popular culture influences modern perceptions of the human body.
