«Espejito, espejito: La tiranía de la belleza» is the essay by Maura Gancitano, published by Atico de los Libros in paperback (240 pages, in Spanish).
Beauty, Gancitano argues, is not a neutral aesthetic ideal but a political technique of power that disciplines how we dress, eat, speak, and walk. The book reconstructs the history of that myth with philosophy, anthropology, social psychology, and data science, and shows how it prevents us from listening to our desires and living the body freely.
Published in May 2024. Translation by Marta Rebón. The cover includes the badge «Ganador del premio Rapallo».
Aimed at readers of philosophy and social sciences interested in the critical analysis of beauty ideals and their impact on everyday life.
