At first sight, tattoos, nudity, and veils do not seem to have much
in common except for the fact that all three have become more
frequent, more visible, and more dominant in connection with
aesthetic presentations of women over the past thirty years. No
longer restricted to biker and sailor culture, tattoos have been
sanctioned by the mainstream of liberal societies. Nudity has
become more visible than ever on European beaches or on the
internet. The increased use of the veil by women in Muslim and
non-Muslim countries has developed in parallel with the
aforementioned phenomena and is just as striking. Through the means
of conceptual analysis, Veils, Nudity, and Tattoos: The New
Feminine Aesthetics reveals that these three phenomena can be both
private and public, humiliating and empowering, and backward and
progressive. This unorthodox approach is traced by the three's
similar social and psychological patterns, and by doing so, Veils,
Nudity, and Tattoos hopes to sketch the image of a woman who is not
only sexually emancipated and confident, but also more and more
aware of her cultural heritage.
