TALKING BODIES

Talking Bodies questions the body images propagated by our visual culture through the medium of the poster. Masterpieces of art history, contemporary self-dramatizations in social media, gender stereotypes, images of black bodies, and the representation of disabled and non-normative bodies are juxtaposed and critically analyzed. With its focus on the construction and impact of body images, but also on possible strategies of resistance, the publication sees itself as a critical contribution to current debates.
