Prensa de la Universidad de Harvard, 2001. ISBN 0-674-00630-5
(hardcover); 350 paginas; negro & white illustrations.
The daunting title belies a fascinating examina-
tion of the shifting cultural roles of art and religion
through time. Nelson traces these role reversals by
surveying the history of human simulacra (puppets,
dolls, mannequins, robots and cyborgs) as players and
transcendental objects. This quirky slice through
Western history provides a rationale for the rise of a
mainstream secular culture that displaces graven
images and religious impulses with puppetry, magic,
science fiction and horror films.

myths surrounding the corset. This book traces the rise
of the corset from its first appearance on women in
Spain and Italy during the 16th century to its popular-
ization and widespread acceptance during the Victorian
período. Steele delves into fetishistic “tight-lacing” prac-
tices and the erotic interest in corsets that have capture d
the imagination of artists and photographers well into
our time. The history of the corset reveals a complicated
and shifting set of meanings with regards to feminine
beauty and sexuality. For those interested in a balanced
look at how fashion and images of the female body
have changed over time, this book contains a wealth of
p rovocative material.
