Abstract

While it may seem natural and obvious that most white men don't dance, it is actually a recent phenomenon tied to changing norms of gender, race, class, and sexuality. Combining archival sources, interviews, and participant observation, this book examines how, within the US, recreational dance became associated with women rather than men, youths rather than adults, and ethnic minorities rather than whites.

Abstract

"The growth of the service economy, widespread acceptance of cosmetic technologies, expansion of global media, and the intensification of scrutiny of appearance brought about by the Internet have heightened the power of beauty ideals in everyday life. A range of interdisciplinary contributions by an international roster of established and emerging scholars will introduce students to the emergence of debates about beauty, including work in history, sociology, communications, anthropology, gender studies, disability studies, ethnic studies, cultural studies, philosophy, psychology, and law. The Routledge Companion to Beauty Politics is an essential reference work for students and researchers interested in the politics of appearance. Comprising over 30 chapters by a team of international contributors the Handbook is divided into 6 parts: Theorizing Beauty Politics Competing Definitions of Beauty Beauty, Activism, and Social Change Body Work Beauty and Labor Beauty and the Lifecourse The Routledge Companion to Beauty Politics is essential reading for students in Women and Gender Studies, Sociology, Media Studies, Communications, Philosophy and Psychology"-- Provided by publisher.
