A New Ethic of 'Older' - Bridget (University of South Australia Garnham - Bog

- Subjectivity, surgery, and self-stylization

Bag om A New Ethic of 'Older'

This book mobilizes considerable theoretical and empirical resources to interrogate and problematize the social category of `older¿ in the context of cosmetic surgery. It disrupts and critiques dominant renderings of `older¿ and suggests that contemporary aesthetic and ethical values inform a new ethic of `older¿. Drawing inspiration from Michel Foucault¿s work on ethics, the book proposes that cosmetic surgery can be understood as a contemporary practice of self-care that transforms subjectivity in relation to a desirable mode of being.
