Having just finished my preperation for my piece of our presentation, I decided to quickly put up some of issues on my mind in regards to my reaserch.
I've written a lot about the percieved 'Beauty Culture' prevailant in modern media. I can only describe it as a sort of established concensus that establishes what is considered beautiful from a modern fashion perpective. It doesn't sound like much but can easily influence entire facets of the modern fashion culture.
However, while I make it sound like some sort of shadowy organization whispering in everyone's ear, I think it is not an existing construct of sorts but rather a state of mind. People put what they want to see close to their hearts and try to keep back whatever it is that detests them, from the perspective of modern fashion I guess some people are just fussy (Knows nothing about fashion)
I believe it's this idea that we emphasise what we want to see that has the power to change even our perception of history. That is why even the most devoted and faithful adaptations of the Jack the Ripper case take some form of creative manipulation of the actual look and feel in order to create something that we as a viewer are not repeled by as the actual recorded history implies.
