The idea that an individual's character is revealed through physical appearance is, Finkelstein argues, deeply embedded in Western culture. And since fashions and cosmetics are closely linked to sexual difference, the author concentrates on aspects of gender identity, suggesting that the female and male identity are differentiated through opposed experiences of the body.目录Part 1 The physiognomic body: character as immanent in appearance; refining appearance, improving character. Part 2 Signs of the modern self: the face lift; the hacktie; fashionability. Part 3 The fashioned self: the trial of character; the self as sign.
