书籍简介

一位世界知名的文化史学家撰写的开创性研究，探讨了我们如何解读面孔以及面孔所揭示的关于我们自身的信息。

面孔里有什么？

面孔是人体一个所有感官汇聚的部位，在人类历史长河中，它逐渐成为我们个体身份的象征。我们用面部识别解锁手机；我们的护照上盖有我们的照片；尽管我们的容貌会随着时间推移而改变——无论是衰老、意外、疾病还是生活方式——但它仍然是身份认同的基础标志。

在《面孔》一书中，文化史学家费伊·邦德-阿尔贝蒂探讨了人类解读面孔的方式，以及这些方式如何塑造了我们对道德、社会等级、心理学等诸多方面的认知，并揭示了一些影响我们日常生活的偏见。她梳理了新技术和文化创新如何随着时间的推移改变了我们对自我的认知——从文艺复兴时期肖像画的兴起，到十九世纪镜子和摄影术的大规模生产，再到二十一世纪的数字虚拟形象和面部移植等发展。

邦德-阿尔贝蒂汇集了大量引人入胜的研究、访谈和发人深省的个人叙述，深入探究我们的面容究竟揭示了我们内心深处的哪些信息。

The Face: A Cultural History

A pioneering study into how we interpret faces and what they reveal about us, from a world-renowned cultural historian.

What’s in a face?

The face is the only part of the body where all the senses come together and, over the course of human history, has come to represent who we are as individuals. We unlock our phones with facial recognition; we have our faces stamped in our passports; and although our faces may change over the course of our lives - whether through ageing, accident, illness or lifestyle - they remain a foundational marker of identity.

In The Face, cultural historian Fay Bound-Alberti explores the ways humans have interpreted faces and how they have shaped our ideas of morality, social hierarchy, psychology and so much more, revealing some of the biases that inform our everyday lives. She charts how new technologies and cultural innovations have transformed our conception of selfhood over time - from the growth of portraiture in the Renaissance and the mass production of mirrors and photography in the nineteenth century, to twenty-first century developments, such as digital avatars and face transplants.

Bringing together a wealth of fascinating research, interviews and illuminating personal narratives, Bound-Alberti probes beneath the surface to ask what our faces really say about us.
