Synopsis "Media, Performative Identity, and the New American Freak Show"

Explores the history of the freak show and how it was transformed through the emergence of mediaFocuses on what changes in viewing mean, and why and how the viewer stares at freakish bodies through specific media including film, television, and live performanceExplores bodies which would have been considered freaks of nature--a person who was born with their physical anomaly or who obtained it through an accident, such as bearded ladies, people missing limbs, and conjoined twins--as well as cultural freaks--a person whose anomaly was obtained by choice, such as heavily tattooed and pierced people, sword swallowers, and other novelty actsRaises questions about representation and authenticity in its exploration of mediated bodies across horror film to reality television, disability pornography to the mediatization of popular musicians' bodiesAnalyzes the relationship between viewer and the figure of "the freak" to reveal the cultural organization of different bodies in contemporary society
