Description
Summary:This book delves into the cultural and historical analysis of aesthetic surgery, particularly its role in shaping female subjectivity. Marcelo Córdoba examines how aesthetic surgery functions as a mechanism of normalization within Western culture, scrutinizing its intersection with medical knowledge and societal norms of femininity. The text explores the evolution of aesthetic procedures such as rhinoplasty, analyzing the symbolic structures that support their normalization. Aimed at scholars and students in the fields of semiotics, cultural studies, and gender studies, the book critiques the societal implications of aesthetic surgery, highlighting the tension between medical practice and cultural expectations.
