Book Synopsis The Symptom of Beauty by : Francette Pacteau

Download or read book The Symptom of Beauty written by Francette Pacteau and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beauty is not a singular thing, Francette Pacteau tells us, but a generic term for an unspecifiable number of disparate experiences. What these experiences are is the subject of Pacteau's book, an intriguing psychoanalytic study of beauty that looks into the eye of the beholder and to the mind conjuring behind it. Less interested in the contingent object of desire than the fantasy that frames it, Pacteau considers the staging of the aesthetic emotion. Her book is an ambitious attempt to describe the mise-en-scène of beauty within a particular field of representations - that of the beauty of woman. Within this field, which extends from the classical ideals of beauty from Renaissance to the most recent pinups and bionic women, Pacteau analyzes the formulation of beauty in Western culture. -- from back cover.
