Discussing beauty politics, postfeminism,neoliberalism, labour and subjectivity, the book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in Gender, Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Social Psychology and Management Studies.
¿This highly engaging, smart, and wide-ranging collection analyzes how, under the self-governing mandates of neoliberalism, the demands that girls and women regulate and control their bodies and appearance have escalated to new, unforgiving levels. A special strength of the book is its emphasis on the rise of ¿aesthetic labour¿ as a global, transnational and ever-colonizing phenomenon that seeks to sweep up women of all races, ages and locales into its disciplinary grip. Highly recommended.¿
-Susan J Douglas, University of Michigan, USA
the inherited responsibility that remains women¿s particular burden to manage.¿
-Melissa Gregg, Intel Corporation, USA
¿This book incisively conceptualizes how neo-liberalist and postfeminist tendencies are ramping up pressures for glamour, aesthetic, fashion, and body work in the general public. In a moment when YouTube ¿makeup how tö videos receive millions of hits; what to wear and how to wear it blogs clock massive followings; and staying ¿on brand¿ is sold to us as the key to personal and financial success, ¿aesthetic entrepreneurship¿ is bound to become a go-to concept for anyone seeking to understand the profound shifts shaping labor and life in the 21st century.¿
