Face in Trouble From Physiognomics to Fac

This book analyzes unobvious relations between historical definitions of the face and its contemporary usage in popular culture and social media, like Fac or Instagram. Bringing together a wide range of methodologies, it includes essays from manifold disciplines of the humanities such as philosophy, literary and art criticism, media and television studies, game studies, sociology and anthropology. The authors focus on both metaphorical and material meanings of the face. They grapple with crucial questions about modernity, modern and postmodern subjectivity, as well as with origins of certain linguistic terms and popular, colloquial phrases based on the concept of the face.Additional ISBNs9783631676233, 9783631711972, 3631676239, 3631711972Face in Trouble From Physiognomics to Fac 1st Edition and published by Peter Lang Gmb H, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
