Talking Bodies: Examining Representations of the Body in Media Cultures This publication explores how bodies are represented and perceived in various media cultures. It delves into the mechanisms behind these representations, analyzing posters that have shaped our collective memory. The book examines masterpieces of art history, contemporary self-dramatizations on social media, gender stereotypes, images of black bodies, and the representation of disabled and non-normative bodies. The publication focuses on the construction and impact of body images, while also discussing potential strategies for resistance. With a range of essays by prominent scholars, Talking Bodies offers a critical contribution to current debates on representation and power.
