Description
Summary:	"Talking Bodies examines different mechanisms of representation of the body in media cultures - from stereotypical forms of gender representation to the persistence of the regime of the white gaze and to self-staging on social media - and situates them in a cultural, historical, and sociological context. This publication brings together international posters from a wide range of categories and reveals continuities as well as changes and deviations in the depiction of the human body. Unsettling and even provocative poster compositions provide food for thought and inspire the discovery of new visual dialogues. Talking bodies strives to promote a critical reappraisal of media images of the body."-- Page 4 of cover.
