This book explores editorial and advertising discourses related to cosmetic procedures and beauty products and services in UK lifestyle magazines, offering a holistic perspective on the normalisation of cosmetic procedures and the societal context in which particular perceptions have flourished. The volume examines the societal climate that contributed to cultural perceptions of the body as object and project, and constructions of masculinities and femininities as context for developments in lifestyle magazines’ content on beauty and cosmetic procedures. Integrating approaches from Critical Discourse Analysis, Thematic Analysis, and Content Analysis, Hermans explores the varying ways in which cosmetic procedures and other beauty products are marketed to different audiences and examines phenomena such as the problem/solution rhetoric, and developments in beauty advertising discourse specifically targeted at men. The book also investigates the continuum view of beauty products and cosmetic procedures, and examines the implications of these blurred boundaries for the regulation of the cosmetic surgery industry. This innovative contribution to research on the representation of cosmetic procedures and beauty products in the media will be of interest to scholars researching at the intersection of language, gender, individualised body projects, and sexuality.

Excerpt from Perfection and Power: Two Discourses, Published by Earnest and Repeated Requests Are they now reminded how the Lord in the days of the Prophet Elijah, by a great and fierce wind rent the earth asunder and brake the rocks in pieces before the Lord? But the Lord was not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake, and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire a still small voice, which caused the prophet to wrap his head in, his mantle, and the Lord was in it. Whether they are reminded of these circumstances or not, here is first the sound of a rushing, mighty wind, then the cloven tongues. Like as of fire, sitting upon each of them, and after that the fulness of the Spirit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
