Francis Sanzaro

4.9/5 (9844 ratings)

Description:The Infantile Grotesque is a critique of modern culture but begins with a single phenomenon—childbirth. Simultaneously thought to be natural, unnatural, pornographic, obscene and beautiful, our attitudes about childbirth harbor our deepest convictions about life, creativity and vitality. We are conflicted.By taking a multi-disciplinary approach, grounded in psychoanalysis, film theory, visual art, etc., and combining current events with pop-culture analyses, while also utilizing new research from the fields of medicine, trauma and sexuality, the author is able to argue that childbirth imagery should be classified as a unique type of image. The Infantile Grotesque not only reframes the debate about how birth is, and isn’t viewed, but provides a diagnostic through which to view the vitality of culture. It will be of interest to anyone interested in pop-culture, media studies, and/or obtaining a deeper understanding of how a species could turn its back on its own process of reproduction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
