Lying Bodies explores how to survive with invisible, non-normative
identities by focusing on literally 'invisible' differences. The
first half of the book attempts a theoretical account of the self
in the field of vision, drawing on psychoanalytic theories of the
formation of the self. In order for the survival of the self with a
visual image that both enables and threatens it, the book proposes
the strategy of 'the lying body', which combines mimicry with
equivocality. The second half of the book demonstrates possible
forms of 'the lying body' through an analysis of specific examples
of cultural practices, including works by artists Cindy Sherman and
Morimura Yasumasa, as well as the claim of invisible sexual
differences by feminine-looking lesbians.
