Thorsten Botz-Bornstein

Veils, Nudity, and Tattoos

The New Feminine Aesthetics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

By taking an unorthodox approach towards three phenomena that have changed considerably during the past thirty years, this book reveals through conceptual analysis that the three are both private and public, humiliating and empowering, and backward and progressive, and can ultimately be traced by similar social and psychological patterns.
