What do they tell us about what a good life looks like in contemporary America? This new film based on Katherine Sender's book The Makeover explores these questions against the backdrop of American ideals of self-invention and upward mobility. Asking what it means to be an authentic self in an increasingly mediated world -- to be both ordinary and special, to be happy with who we are while always wanting something better -- Brand New You shows how the interventions featured in makeover shows, from weight loss to cosmetic surgery, reproduce conventional norms of physical attractiveness and success. Taking a wider social and cultural view, it also shows how these programs have become models of self-transformation at precisely the same time jobs have become harder to find and keep, and women and men have been forced to remake themselves to compete in a rapidly changing labor marketplace. 521 Grades 9+ 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Mass media|xSocial aspects. 650 0 Mass media policy|xSocial aspects. 650 0 Consumerism. 650 0 Advertising. 700 1 Sender, Katherine. 700 1 Peterson, Alex. 710 2 Kanopy (Firm) 773 0 Media Education Foundation Collection. 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/131817|Available on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/131817/external -image
