They give her fairer skin, eyes like a Western baby doll, and gowns inspired by sources from Victorian England to MTV.An absorbing consideration of contemporary bridal practices in Taiwan, Framing the Bride shows how the lavish photographs represent more than mere conspicuous consumption. They are artifacts infused with cultural meaning and emotional significance, products of the gender- and generation-based conflicts in Taiwan's hybrid system of modern matrimony. From the bridal photographs, the book opens out into broader issues such as courtship, marriage, kinship, globalization, and the meaning of the "West" and "Western" cultural images of beauty.Bonnie Adrian argues that in compiling enormous bridal albums full of photographs of brides and grooms in varieties of finery, posed in different places, and exuding romance, Taiwanese brides engage in a new rite of passage-one that challenges the terms of marriage set out in conventional wedding rites. In Framing the Bride, we see how this practice is also a creative response to U.S. domination of transnational visual imagery-how bridal photographers and their subjects take the project of globalization into their own hands, defining its terms for their lives even as they expose the emptiness of its images.Wedding supplies and services industryTaiwanWeddingsTaiwanEquipment and suppliesBridal shopsTaiwanWedding photographyTaiwanElectronic books.Wedding supplies and services industryWeddingsEquipment and supplies.Bridal shopsWedding photography338.4/73925/0951249Adrian Bonnie1970-1048410MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450137403321Framing the bride2476686UNINA01698nam0 2200421 i 450 ISU002847920251003044203.08872873398IT2006-1871 20171213d2006 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nz01ncRDAcarrierManuale di fisiologia veterinariaJames G.
