O knihe
This book explores the semiotics of masking and costuming and their relations to women's social mobility within spaces which could both allow and inhibit women's self and sexual expression. I suggest that the carnival and the street-at times inextricably linked-create an arena in which identities are contested and reconfigured, while ultimately reinstating hierarchical, or at least categorised, norms. I also ask: to what extent do masking and veiling practices permit women a degree of freedom from the strictures of status and sex, and how is identity brought into question through facial and bodily concealment?
