Aesthetic Labour: Rethinking Beauty Politics in Neoliberalism (Dynamics of Virtual Work)

The "Gender and Appearance in Neoliberal Times" collection is a groundbreaking analysis of how women are increasingly expected to be "aesthetic entrepreneurs," constantly vigilant about their appearance in today's age of ubiquitous photography, social media, and 360-degree surveillance.

This thought-provoking volume sheds light on the unprecedented demands placed upon women to maintain a perfect appearance, and how this work is not just limited to physical appearances but requires a transformation of subjectivity itself.

With in-depth analyses of online media, beauty service work, female genital cosmetic surgery, academic fashion, self-help literature, and the seduction community from various countries, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex intersections of gender, media, culture, labor, and subjectivity in neoliberal times.

Don't miss out on this insightful and engaging read that will challenge your perspectives on beauty politics, postfeminism, neoliberalism, and more!
