But now that many of us are free to choose whoever we want, nothing is less certain. The proliferation of divorces and separations reveal a dynamic we would rather not see: others sometimes reject us as passionately as we are attracted to them. Our desire makes us sick. The throes of rivalry are at the heart of our attraction to one another. This is the central thesis of Jean-Michel Oughourlian''s The Genesis of Desire, where the war of the sexes is finally given a scientific explanation.

This is protest through play - a pleasurable misbehaviour that reflects a feminism for the twenty-first century. Jacki Willson discusses how, whether through pastiche, parody, or pure pleasure, artists, artistes and indeed the spectators themselves can operate in excess of the restrictive images which saturate our visual culture. By referring to a wide spectrum of examples, including Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, Matthew Barney, Dr Sketchy's, Audacity Chutzpah, Burly Q and Carnesky's Ghost Train, Being Gorgeous demonstrates how contemporary female performers embody, critique and thoroughly relish their own representation by inappropriately re-appropriating femininity.International library of cultural studies ;27.Feminine beauty (Aesthetics)FemininitySex roleFeminism & feminist theoryFeminine beauty (Aesthetics).Femininity.Sex role.305.42Willson Jacki1658450IDEBKCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910813426603321Being gorgeous4012463UNINA
