Tattoos, Desire And Violence: Marks of Resistance in Literature, Film And Television
Whether they graphically depict an individualâs or a communityâs beliefs, express the defiance of authority, or brand marginalized groups, tattoos are a means of interpersonal communication that dates back thousands of years. Evidence of the tattooâs place in todayâs popular culture is all aroundâ"in advertisements, on the stereotypical outlaw character in films and television, in supermarket machines that dispense childrenâs wash-away tattoos, and even in the production of a tattooed Barbie doll. This book explores the tattooâs role, primarily as an emblem of resistance and marginality, in recent literature, film, and television. The association of tattoos with victims of the Holocaust, slaves, and colonized peoples; with gangs, inmates, and other marginalized groups; and the connection of the tattoo narrative to desire and violence are discussed at length.
