Appearance has repeatedly been shown to have a potent and immediate
effect on others in a wide range of circumstances. In particular,
the consequences of women's appearance are severe and have social,
economic, and legal ramifications. From the more obvious role of
uniforms in social control through to the subtle interplay between
size and status, appearance counts. The vast number of people
seeking body alterations or modifications through dieting,
tattooing, piercing and plastic surgery attests to the importance
of how we look, not only to others but also to ourselves. This book
tackles the charged and frequently painful subject of how
appearance affects social interaction and the role of larger social
structures in perpetuating and institutionalizing it as an
evaluative criterion. What effect does obesity have on
power(lessness)? What role does women's dress play in others'
perception of consent in cases of rape? How do groups operating on
the margins of mainstream society use appearance to negotiate
power, make statements and effect change? What roles do gender and
ethnicity play in the workplace? This provocative book attempts not
only to answer these questions, but to lay foundations for future
research in an area which affects everyone in profound and often
invisible ways.
