Abstract

Michael Jäckel, Julia Derra, and Cornelia Eck’s cross-generational study answers the question as to which concepts of beauty are presented in magazine advertisements and how recipients react to these concepts. The book provides an important basis for Media Studies and Gender Sociology particularly because it also shows medial constructions of gender that are initially invisible and because it shows gender related illustrations of physicality and beauty.
