Kødets fristelser

Steen Christiansens Kødets fristelser. (Temptations of the flesh). In its analysis of the softcore and pin-up-website suicidegirls.com and with a point of departure in tattoos, piercings and other body modifications the article discusses flesh as an object in the context of gender research, where gender is constructed socially. The models at suicidegirls.com negotiate with an earlier understanding of women through two processes: the creation of and the use of pinup photos and body modifications, so that a new concept of beauty is created, monster/beauty or monstrous beauty.
