| Resumen: |
Este volumen aborda cuestiones sobre el género y las polÃticas de la apariencia desde una nueva perspectiva desarrollando la noción de trabajo estético. Al reunir escritos feministas sobre el "mito de la belleza" con estudios recientes sobre nuevas formas de trabajo, el libro sugiere que en este momento de fotografÃa omnipresente, redes sociales y vigilancia de 360 ​​grados, se exige cada vez más a las mujeres que sean "emprendedoras estéticas", manteniendo un estado constante de vigilancia sobre su apariencia. La colección muestra que este trabajo no se encuentra sólo en la superficie de los cuerpos, sino que requiere una transformación de la subjetividad misma, caracterizada por nociones de elección personal, asunción de riesgos, autogestión y responsabilidad individual. El libro incluye análisis de los medios online, el trabajo de los servicios de belleza, la cirugÃa estética genital femenina, la moda académica, la literatura de autoayuda y la comunidad de la seducción, de diversos paÃses. Al analizar la polÃtica de la belleza, el posfeminismo, el neoliberalismo, el trabajo y la subjetividad, el libro será de interés para académicos y estudiantes interesados ​​en género, estudios de medios, estudios culturales, sociologÃa, psicologÃa social y estudios de gestión. |

| Summary : |
This volume approaches questions about gender and the politics of appearance from a new perspective by developing the notion of aesthetic labour. Bringing together feminist writing regarding the 'beauty myth' with recent scholarship about new forms of work, the book suggests that in this moment of ubiquitous photography, social media, and 360 degree surveillance, women are increasingly required to be 'aesthetic entrepreneurs', maintaining a constant state of vigilance about their appearance. The collection shows that this work is not just on the surface of bodies, but requires a transformation of subjectivity itself, characterised by notions of personal choice, risk-taking, self-management, and individual responsibility. The book includes analyses of online media, beauty service work, female genital cosmetic surgery, academic fashion, self-help literature and the seduction community, from a range of countries. Discussing beauty politics, postfeminism,neoliberalism, labour and subjectivity, the book will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in Gender, Media Studies, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Social Psychology and Management Studies. |
