Venus in the Dark Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture【電子書籍】[ Janell Hobson ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In this third edition of the classic cultural history of black women’s beauty, <em>Venus in the Dark: Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture</em>, Janell Hobson explores the enduring figure of the “Hottentot Venus” and the history of critical and artistic responses to her by black women in contemporary photography, film, literature, music, and dance.</p> <p>In 1810, Sara Baartman was taken from South Africa to Europe, where she was put on display at circuses, salons, museums, and universities as the “Hottentot Venus.” The subsequent legacy of representations of black women’s sexualityーfrom Josephine Baker to Serena Williams to hip-hop and dancehall videos, to our favorite pop acts including Beyonc?, Rihanna, and Megan Thee Stallionーrefer back to her iconic image. Via a new Preface, Hobson explores the continuing influence of Baartman’s legacy through the contemporary marketization of black women’s bodies; from popular music and pornography to advertising and presidential campaigns. A brand-new chapter analyzes fetishistic spectacles of the black “booty,” with particular emphasis on the rise in cosmetic surgeries, such as BBLs, and the different ways that twenty-first-century subjects have reshaped and redefined their bodies in an emergent global body politic.</p> <p>This new edition of <em>Venus in the Dark: Blackness and Beauty in Popular Culture</em> is essential reading for students and researchers, as well those outside of academia interested in the subjects of black women and their beautification efforts.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,616円

<p>In this second edition of the remarkable, and now classic, cultural history of black women’s beauty, <em>Venus in the Dark</em>, Janell Hobson explores the enduring figure of the "Hottentot Venus" and the history of critical and artistic responses to her by black women in contemporary photography, film, literature, music, and dance.</p> <p>In 1810, Sara Baartman was taken from South Africa to Europe, where she was put on display at circuses, salons, museums, and universities as the "Hottentot Venus." The subsequent legacy of representations of black women’s sexualityーfrom Josephine Baker to Serena Williams to hip-hop and dancehall videosーrefer back to her iconic image. Via a new preface, Hobson argues for the continuing influence of Baartman’s legacy, as her image still reverberates through the contemporary marketization of black women’s bodies, from popular music and pornography to advertising. A brand new chapter explores how historical echoes from previous eras map onto highly visible bodies in the twenty-first century. It analyzes fetishistic spectacles of the black "booty," with particular emphasis on the role of Beyonc? Knowles in the popularization of the "bootylicious" body, and the counter-aesthetic the singer has gone on to advance for black women’s bodies and beauty politics.</p> <p>By studying the imagery of the "Hottentot Venus," from the nineteenth century to now, readers are invited to confront the racial and sexual objectification and embodied resistance that make up a significant part of black women’s experience.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,787円
