{"product_id":"the-happy-stripper-pleasures-and-jacki-willson-9781845113186","title":"The Happy Stripper Pleasures and Politics of the New Burlesque","description":"If the burlesque stripper, with her bawdy spirit and unruly insubordination, has emerged for many as a new 'empowering' model for the sexually aware woman, then she also strikes horror in the heart of second wave feminism. Embodied by high profile artistes such as Dita von Teese and Catherine D'Lish, the explosive revival of striptease, burlesque and overt female sexual performance has proved no less alluring to a new generation of women artists familiar with the provocative work of 70's performance artists such as Hannah Wilke and Carolee Schneeman. Eloquent on 'prettiness' and power, desire and 'knowingness', money, sex and class, and with an extensive knowledge of burlesque's rich tradition, Willson raises long overdue questions about women's erotic expression within a 'postfeminist' condition. The 'new burlesque' demands above all a response - this fresh, brazen, provocative book at last provides it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacki Willson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845113187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845113186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.51h x 5.64w x 0.58d","brand":"Jacki Willson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978696917247,"sku":"9781845113186","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3e8565b7-03f3-41d7-b824-f8d48e4c0ddb.jpg?v=1683242676","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-happy-stripper-pleasures-and-jacki-willson-9781845113186","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
