Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Tras el exito de No siento nada, Stroemquist se adentra en el tema del momento: la dictadura de la imagen en la era Instagram. Una autora imperdible. Elle Caustica y culta. El Pais Nos estamos convirtiendo en la madrastra de Blancanieves? En la era Instagram, nuestro espejo magico es la pantalla y la belleza la dictaminan los likes. En La sala de los espejos, Liv Stroemquist se pregunta hasta que punto la dictadura de la imagen ha minado la relacion con nuestros cuerpos. Siempre acida e irreverente, la autora nos lleva del mito biblico de Jacob hasta los motivos del exito de influencers como Kylie Jenner o Kim Kardashian, pasando por la ultima sesion de fotos de Marilyn Monroe, la obsesion de la princesa Sissi por el ejercicio fisico o el robo del busto de Nefertiti.

An unmissable author. Elle Fierce and cultured. El Pais Are we becoming Snow Whites stepmother? In the Instagram Era, our magic mirror is the screen, and beauty is established by likes. In In the Hall of Mirrors, Liv Stroemquist wonders to what extent the dictatorship of the image has undermined our relationship with our bodies. Always sharp and irreverent, the author takes us from the biblical myth of Jacob to the reasons for the success of influencers such as Kylie Jenner or Kim Kardashian and examines Marilyn Monroes latest photo shoot, Princess Sissi's obsession with physical exercise, and even the theft of the bust of Nefertiti. Stroemquist gives us an exhaustively documented book where her inimitable drawing style and the theories of Susan Sontag or Eva Illouz come along to unravel the canon that enslaves us and to find something real among so many filters.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The deceptively simple through-line for Swedish media personality and activist Liv Stroemquist's The Reddest Rose is the question: Why does Leonardo DiCaprio date an endless string of 20-something models? Her answer-in the form of this collection of well-researched, humorous comics essays- tracks how philosophers and artists, from the Ancient Greeks to Beyonce, conceptualized romantic love. Stroemquist's signature characters, drawn in a flat, blocky style, ask each other questions and offer sharp commentary as they guide readers throughout history and the change in societies' values, from showing love/loving to getting love/being loved. (Poet Hilda "H.D." Doolittle-who was so love-stricken by a man taking off his glasses that she believed they viewed dolphins together in another dimension- lends the book its title.) Lord Byron, Socrates, Byung-Chul Han, Ezra Pound, Slavoj Zizek, Lou Andreas-Salome, Ariadne, and many others have cameos. For the first time in English, in The Reddest Rose, Stroemquist wonders: in a rationalist, consumerist world, can romantic love survive? The internationally acclaimed activist follows up her satirical work of graphic medicine with this collection of humorous comics essays about how historical and societal shifts have altered -- and perhaps destroyed -- "romantic love."

Softcover. Condition: As New. Clever, angry, funny, and informative, this graphic novel explores the complex history surrounding women's bodies, from Adam and Eve to contemporary issues like the pussy hat movement. Celebrated Swedish cartoonist Liv Strömquist examines how various cultures have influenced perceptions of vulvas, vaginas, clitorises, and menstruation. Through her biting commentary and relatable avatar, she guides readers from dark historical moments, such as a clitoridectomy performed on a five-year-old in 1948, to lighter instances, like the use of vulvas in architecture as symbols of protection.
