Whatkind of woman dances naked for money? Bernadette Barton takes us insidecountless strip bars and clubs, from upscale to back road as well as those thatspecialize in lap dancing, table dancing, topless only, and peep shows, toreveal the startling lives of exotic dancers. Originally published in 2006, the product of years of first-hand research in strip clubs around the country, Stripped is a classic portrait of what it’s like for those who choose to strip as a profession. Barton explores why women begin stripping, the initial excitement and financial rewards of the work, the dangers of the life—namely, drugs and prostitution—and, inevitably, the difficulties in staying in the business over time, especially for their relationships, sexuality and self-esteem. In this completely revised and updated edition, Barton returns to the strip clubs she originally studied to observe the major changes in the industry that have occurred over the last decade. She examines how “raunch culture” affects exotic dancers’ treatment by their clientele, who are now accustomed to seeing nudity and sexualized performance in accessible, R and X -rated media from a variety of outlets, particularly the Internet. Barton explores how new media has transformed exotic dancing, allowing dancers to build an online brand, but also introducing possibilities for customers to take unauthorized nude photos and videos of the entertainers.. And finally, Barton speaks to new dancers as well as dancers she interviewed in the previous edition, examining how the toll of stripping still impacts the lives of exotic dancers in a changing industry. Incorporating new scholarship, new observations, and increased awareness of emerging media technology, Barton brings a fresh and important perspective on the challenges that women face working in the still-thriving world of exotic dancing.Whatkind of woman dances naked for money?

Dossier : L’individu, objet de tous les regards : telle est la perspective adoptée par ce dossier. Si le vêtement occupe une place centrale dans cette enquête, l’histoire des apparences ne s’y réduit pas. Traits physiques et de caractère, tenue extérieure et nudité étudiée, parures et coiffures, odeurs et attitudes, constituent un large ensemble de significations, celui du « vêtement total ». Moyens de catégorisation et d’évaluation morale, modes d’intervention délibérée dans le champ des interactions sociales, les manières de s’habiller et de se déshabiller témoignent d’un contrôle visuel quasi permanent exercé sur les corps depuis les mondes archaïques grec et étrusque jusqu’à la Rome impériale. Varia : Une série d’articles suit ce dossier thématique et aborde des sujets très variés : parmi d’autres, le mythe des Lemniennes, la question du statut des Muses, celle de la discorde (éris) dans les récits de fondation, l’implication du stratège athénien Timothée dans une guerre civile à Zakinthos au ive siècle, la représentation divine en Nabatène, la procédure de la description des œuvres d’art – ekphrasis – chez Philostrate, ou encore, dans une perspective méthodologique et historiographique, la pratique de la méthode comparative par les historiens anthropologues de la Grèce ancienne.

Is stripping good or bad for the women who do it? According to sociologist Mindy S. Bradley-Engen, there's no simple answer. An exotic dancer's experiences can be both empowering and degrading: at times a dancer can feel like a goddess, at times ashamed and dirty. Drawing on extensive interviews as well as her own experiences as an exotic dancer, Bradley-Engen shows that strippers' work experiences are shaped by the types of establishments—the different worlds—in which they work. A typology of strip clubs emerges: the hustle club, the show club, and the social club, each with its own distinct culture, expectations, and challenges, each creating circumstances in which stripping can be good, bad, or indifferent. Going beyond the warring rhetorics of exploitation and empowerment, this book provides a rich and complex account of the realities of exotic dance and offers a fascinating, thought-provoking consideration for both academics and general readers.
