BAD TASTE - NATHALIE OLAH KARTONIERT (TB)

This book is not a taste  nor an anti-taste  manual. This is an interrogation of the importance
we place on seemingly objective ideas of taste in a culture that is saturated by imagery  and
the dangerous impact this has on our identities  communities and politics. This book is
dedicated to understanding the industries of taste. From the food we eat to the way we spend
our free time  Olah exposes the shallow waters of 'good' and 'bad' taste and the rigid
hierarchies that uphold this age-old dichotomy. How did minimalism become a virtue  and who can
afford to do it justice? When did blue-collar jackets become a fashion item? Who stands to gain
from the distinction made between beauty  and sex? Bold  original and provocative  Bad Taste is
a revelatory exploration of the intersection between consumerism  class  desire and power  and
a rousing call-to-arms to break free from the restrictive ways we see those around us.
