Download or read book Freak Show written by Robert Bogdan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cultural history of the travelling freak show in America chronicles the rise and fall of the industry as attitudes about disability evolved. From 1840 until 1940, hundreds of freak shows crisscrossed the United States, from the smallest towns to the largest cities, exhibiting their casts of dwarfs, giants, Siamese twins, bearded ladies, savages, snake charmers, fire eaters, and other oddities. By today’s standards such displays would be considered cruel and exploitative—the pornography of disability. Yet for one hundred years the freak show was widely accepted as one of America’s most popular forms of entertainment. Robert Bogdan’s fascinating social history brings to life the world of the freak show and explores the culture that nurtured and, later, abandoned it. In uncovering this neglected chapter of show business, he describes in detail the flimflam artistry behind the shows, the promoters and the audiences, and the gradual evolution of public opinion from awe to embarrassment. Freaks were not born, Bogdan reveals; they were manufactured by the amusement world, usually with the active participation of the freaks themselves. Many of the "human curiosities" found fame and fortune, until the ascent of professional medicine transformed them from marvels into pathological specimens.

Living a self-imposed exile, and running from his past crimes, he strives to keep his life uncomplicated, basically becoming invisible in society. Of course, this is not an easy task, especially with the outrageous characters in his life, like Fernando Cueto, an ex-professional athlete who still loves the spotlight, or Nalani Nihipali, a woman desperately searching for Prince Charming in all the wrong places, or the enigmatic Agdistis, who can only be described as living piece of art. Although Pierre deals with these wild and outlandish aspects, shades of his sordid and criminal past have begun to creep back into his life, making him realize that even a single loose thread can completely unravel a lifelong tapestry. Laughter and tears, thrills and frights, cheers and redemption await all who want to see the best show in town. So come one, come all, to The Amazing Circus Freak Show & Invisible Exile Review!

Download or read book Transgressive Bodies written by Dr Niall Richardson and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2012-12-28 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years the “body” has become one of the most popular areas of study in the arts, social sciences and humanities. Transgressive Bodies offers an examination of a variety of non-normative bodies and how they are represented in film, media and popular culture. Examining the non-normative body in a cultural studies context, this book reconsiders the concept of the “transgressive body”, establishing its status as a culturally mutable term, arguing that popular cultural representations create the transgressive or “freak” body and then proceed to either “contain” its threat or (s)exploit it. Through studies of extreme bodybuilding, obesity, disability and transsexed bodies, it examines the implications of such transgressive bodies for gender politics and sexuality. Transgressive Bodies engages with contemporary cultural debates, always relating these to concrete studies of media and cultural representations. This book will therefore appeal to scholars across a range of disciplines, including media and film studies, cultural studies, gender studies, sociology, sports studies and cultural theory.
