Abstract
- The article aims to develop the insight of normalization by showing how it might move feminist discussions. The paper assumes that cosmetic surgery represents an attempt by the individual primarily to conform more closely to the cultural standard of beauty. Meanwhile, the author argues that beauty and identity are already part of the same double and contradictory process called normalization.
