Описание
The term ‘Splitting hairs'' is defined as making superfine, unnecessary, and often ridiculous distinctions. As well as looking in depth at one aspect of hair – hair in our food and mouth - Pam Kleemann, in her work Splitting Hairs, also identifies and investigates words, descriptive phrases, slang terms and advertising hype that cross the boundaries between hair, food and sex. It also touches on pornography, taboos, fetishism and cannibalism. Each chapter is titled using hair phraseology or word play to identify and highlight the focus of the chapter, and to link it back to the overall concept of ‘splitting hairs''.
