Sideshow U.S.A.: Freaks and the American Cultural Imagination Tapa blanda - 2001 - 1st Edición

Members of New York City's sideshow world like to recall Otis Jordan, a man born with significantly underdeveloped arms and legs who made his career by performing as a human curiosity for over twenty years.
Descripción de contraportada
A staple of American popular culture during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the freak show seemed to vanish after the Second World War. But as Rachel Adams reveals in Sideshow U.S.A., images of the freak show, with its combination of the grotesque, the horrific, and the amusing, stubbornly reappeared in literature and the arts. Freak shows, she contends, have survived because of their capacity for reinvention. Empty of any inherent meaning, the freak's body becomes a stage for playing out some of the twentieth century's most pressing social and political concerns, from debates about race, empire, and immigration, to anxiety about gender and controversies over taste and public standards of decency.
