Bodies act as powerful signs, as cultural settings: How are bodies represented and how are they looked at? Which types of bodies are never shown or only shown in a particular way or context? Normative ideas of beauty and the body shape our perception of ourselves and the world - and the bodies shown manifest inequalities and reflect the prevailing relations of power and violence.Talking Bodies questions the body images propagated by our visual culture through the medium of the poster. Masterpieces of art history, contemporary self-dramatizations in social media, gender stereotypes, images of black bodies, and the representation of disabled and non-normative bodies are juxtaposed and critically analyzed. With its focus on the construction and impact of body images, but also on possible strategies of resistance, the publication sees itself as a critical contribution to current debates.
