In this book, one of the most accomplished and thoughtful cultural
commentators of the day, considers the contradictory nature of
cultural relations. Elizabeth Wilson explores these themes through an
examination of fashion, feminism, consumer culture, representation and
postmodernism. Debates within feminism on the nature and effects of
pornography are used to illustrate a particular kind of cultural
contradiction. Wilson recognizes that postmodernism permitted the
reappropriation of subjects that were not previously considered worthy
of attention, or opposed to the idea of emancipation, chief among
these was fashion. She shows that the association of an interest in
this culturally significant subject with a revisionist project raises
doubts about the coherence of postmodernism itself.
