If you want to know how the world has changed in the last centuries, you can turn to the work of the sociologist Jurgen Habermas In the sixties he eloquently analyzed the Structural change in the public sphere and traced the great changes in bourgeois society. However, anyone who does not want to struggle through several hundred pages of critical theory and prefers a more sensual introduction will also find rich illustrative material in the public's change in hairstyle. The upheavals in history are extremely obvious in the pop-cultural and artistic representation of human hair as well as in the increasingly sophisticated aestheticization of the evolutionary fur remnants of our bodies.
