概要

人体の「美」の基準は、社会的構造と深く結びつきがあり、時代や地域によって変遷しつつも、社会階層、人種、ジェンダーといった社会的指標を媒介に形成・再生産されてきました。

英Bloomsburyの定評ある「文化史」シリーズに加わった本書は、54名もの多数の専門家の執筆協力にて、古代から現在まで2500年にわたって、男女の「美」の慣習と文化を豊富な事例とともにたどります。時代別の全6巻（古代 / 中世 / 近代初期 / 啓蒙の時代 / 帝国の時代 / 現代世界）は、各巻に共通の章立て（1. 美の概念 / 2. 芸術と美 / 3. 美醜と差異の概念 / 4. 裸と美 / 5. 身だしなみと衛生 / 6. 身体美の形成 / 7. 物質文化、衣服、消費実践 / 8. 欲望、セクシュアリティ、美しさ）で、時代と分野を越える「美」の主要テーマに沿った比較に適しています。各巻に序文、注記、書誌、索引を含み、350点を越える豊富な図版も視覚的に理解を助けます。日本からは、真保 晶子・芝浦工業大学教授が寄稿しています。

人文社会科学の幅広い分野で利用可能な参考図書としておすすめいたします。
