Zoe Alderton, "The Aesthetics of Self-Harm: The Visual Rhetoric of Online Self-Harm Communities"
English | ISBN: 1138638315 | 2018 | 224 pages | PDF | 4 MB
The Aesthetics of Self-Harm presents a new approach to understanding parasuicidal behaviour, based upon an examination of online communities that promote performances of self-harm in the pursuit of an idealised beauty. The book considers how online communities provide a significant level of support for self-harmers and focuses on relevant case studies to establish a new model for the comprehension of the online supportive community.
