Numerous contemporary artists, particularly female artists, have
chosen to examine the idealization of the female body. In this
crucial book, Emily L. Newman focuses on a number of key themes
including obesity, anorexia, bulimia, dieting, self-harm, and
female body image. Many artists utilize their own bodies in their
work, and in the act of trying to critique the diet industry, they
also often become complicit, as they strive to lose weight
themselves. Making art and engaging eating disorder communities (in
real life and online) often work to perpetuate the illnesses of
themselves or others. A core group of artists has worked to show
bodies that are outside the norm, paralleling the rise of fat
activism in the 1990s and 2000s. Interwoven throughout this
inclusive study are related interdisciplinary concerns including
sociology, popular culture, and feminism.
