Hair: Styling, Culture and Fashion, book cover

Type of Research:	Book Section
Creators:	Biddle-Perry, Geraldine and Cheang, Sarah
Description:	The dressing of hair creates a division between the socially marked, culturally constructed body, and the frank nakedness of an undressed body. This concluding chapter examines how identities are both culturally and biologically constituted, and discursively and physically experienced. It reflects on how hair and hair practices figure in the construction of human subjectivities.
