Faces : Social Research: an International Quarterly of the Social Sciences

The face is the seat of beauty and the mirror of our emotions. Usually visible and recognizable, in some cultures it must be masked, veiled, or transformed. Its changing images are seen as the public manifestation of the self, that character, and the soul. Ancient myths endow the face with special powers. The papers contained in this special issue of Social Research look at facial features of notable individuals (such as Lincoln and Proust), the masking of faces, cosmetic surgery, the relation of the face to recognizing the self and others, and even the facial expressions of primates.Mack, Arien is the author of 'Faces : Social Research: an International Quarterly of the Social Sciences', published 2000 under ISBN 9781933481241 and ISBN 1933481242.
