BOOBS- The semiology of breast
“The meanings attributed to female breast are different to the eyes of every observer. Babies see food. Men see sex. Doctors see illness. Enterpreneurs see money”
Marilyn Yalom
The charm of the breast is lost in the depths of human history and goes hand in hand with the first steps of man on earth. From the prehistoric times when it is presented with the form of fertility and maternity to the industrial - technocapitalist world, breast is going through an autonomous course and enters new semantic / research fields. Today, the "political" breast stands up again, opposed to and against predetermined patriarchal norms and social formalisms. It demands "visibility" and voice in the public space and juxtaposes with its lively presence the predominant perception that wants it to be excluded, marginalizedand, alienated from the social sphere and res publica.
