release notes/summary (backcover information)
When did cosmetic surgery become a common
practice, the stuff of everyday conversation?
In a work that combines a provocative ethnography
of plastic surgery and a penetrating analysis of
beauty and feminism, Virginia L. Blum searches out
the social conditions and imperatives that have
made ours a culture of cosmetic surgery. From
diverse viewpoints, ranging from cosmetic surgery
patient to feminist cultural critic, she looks
into the realities and fantasies that have made
physical malleability an essential part of our
modern-day identity.
For a cultural practice to develop such a tenacious
grip, Blum argues, it must be fed from multiple
directions: some pragmatic, including the profit
motive of surgeons and the increasing need to appear
young on the job; some philosophical, such as the
notion that a new body is something you can buy or
that appearance changes your life. Flesh Wounds is
an inquiry into the ideas and practices that have
forged such a culture. Tying the boom in cosmetic
surgery to a culture-wide trend toward celebrity,
Blum explores our growing compulsion to emulate
what remain for most of us two-dimensional icons.
Moving between personal experiences and
observations, interviews with patients and
surgeons, and readings of literature and cultural
moments, her book reveals the ways in which the
practice of cosmetic surgery captures the condition
of identity in contemporary culture.
