Описание:

Winner, Body and Embodiment Award presented by the American Sociological Association
Imagine yourself without a face—the task
seems impossible. The face is a core feature of our physical identity. Our face
is how others identify us and how we think of our ‘self’. Yet, human faces are
also functionally essential as mechanisms for communication and as a means of
eating, breathing, and seeing. For these reasons, facial disfigurement can
endanger our fundamental notions of self and identity or even be life threatening,
at worse. Precisely because it is so difficult to conceal our faces, the
disfigured face compromises appearance, status, and, perhaps, our very way of
being in the world.
In Saving Face, sociologist Heather Laine
Talley examines the cultural meaning and social significance of interventions
aimed at repairing faces defined as disfigured. Using ethnography,
participant-observation, content analysis, interviews, and autoethnography,
Talley explores four sites in which a range of faces are “repaired:” face
transplantation, facial feminization surgery, the reality show Extreme Makeover, and the international charitable
organization Operation Smile,. Throughout, she considers how efforts focused on
repair sometimes intensify the stigma associated with disfigurement. Drawing
upon experiences volunteering at a camp for children with severe burns, Talley also
considers alternative interventions and everyday practices that both challenge
stigma and help those seen as disfigured negotiate outsider status.
Talley delves into the promise and
limits of facial surgery, continually examining how we might understand
appearance as a facet of privilege and a dimension of inequality. Ultimately,
she argues that facial work is not simply a conglomeration of reconstructive
techniques aimed at the human face, but rather, that appearance interventions
are increasingly treated as lifesaving work. Especially at a time when
aesthetic technologies carrying greater risk are emerging and when
discrimination based on appearance is rampant, this important book challenges
us to think critically about how we see the human face.

Описание: A selectively curated overview of the little black dress in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, organized by Vogue contributing editor and fashion force Andre Leon Talley and published on the occasion of an exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art (Savannah College of Art and Design), Andre Leon Talley Gallery. Featuring an impeccably selected group of about sixty dresses from many of the most eminent fashion houses, the book is a celebratory tribute to the iconic little black dress and its deeply resonant cultural and social significance in the modern era.

Defined by the simplest parameters--color and shape--yet voluminous in possibility, the little black dress is personalized by the designer who imagined it and the woman who wears it. In one silhouette it can capture a woman's allure, and in one evening worn provide her with a reservoir of memories. It can sum up in one wardrobe reconnaissance the way you wore the way you were. A little black dress in any other color could dent a reputation; in black it can only elevate one. Whether made from the most superior fabrics, or designed in cutting-edge neoprene, the little black dress maintains its status as the game-changer, the free spirit and pleasure-seeker (Audrey Hepburn in Givenchy in Breakfast at Tiffany's), the career-launcher (Elizabeth Hurley in Versace), the going-for-broke risk-taker (Virginie Gautreau as Madame X), inevitably revealing truths about the women who have chosen to wear one.

Three original essays offer personal histories in praise of the little black dress. An introduction by Andre Leon Talley and a foreword by Paula Wallace complete this exquisite volume. Together with a stunning collection of images, this book presents a singularly elegant portfolio.
