Softcover. Condition: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. Edition Unstated. WOOLLEY, DAWN. Visual Pleasure, Cardiff: Ffotogallery, 2010.Oblong quarto, priority unknown to me, pp. 95, wraps, color photos, text in Welsh and English. Woolley uses cardboard cutouts to create highly suggestive but non-explicit tableaux of people having sex, with a section involving butchered meat. Many of these scenes are so realistic that it is hard to know that no live bodies are present. It's a demonstration of the power of human imagination and fantasy with a trick that has been done before, but never better.Condition of this book:Crease in lower forecorner of front cover, short tear in back cover, all else fine.

Paperback. Condition: New. Consuming the Body examines contemporary consumerism and the commodified construction of ideal gendered bodies, paying particular attention to the new forms of interaction produced by social networking sites. Describing the behaviours of an ideal neoliberal subject, Woolley identifies modes of discipline, forms of pleasure, and opportunities for subversion in an examination of how individuals are addressed and the ways in which they are expected to respond. Key modes of address that compel the consumer to consume are: sadistic commands communicated in adverts, TV programmes and magazine articles; a fetishistic gaze that dissects the body into parts to be improved through commodification; and a hystericized insistent presence that compels the consumer to present their body for critique and appreciation that is exemplified in the selfie.Woolley interprets the visual characteristics of different types of selfies, including #fitspiration, #thinspiration, #fatspiration, and #bodypositivity to understand how they relate to current body ideals. Healthism and culture bound illnesses such as hysteria and eating disorders are examined to demonstrate the impact of commodified body ideals on consumers' bodies. An analysis of thinspiration images (photographs of emaciated bodies shared on pro-eating-disorder blogs and websites) suggests that the anorexic body represents the logical (and fatal) end point for the idealised body in consumer culture. Fat acceptance selfies suggest there is a fourth mode of address, empowering presence that has the potential to liberate consumers from the 'trap of visibleness' produced by the other three modes of address. In conclusion, the book identifies some creative methods for producing selfies that evade commoditisation and discipline. …
