This talk addresses the phenomenon of cultural globalization using the case of beauty ideals for cosmetic surgery in Malaysia. In it, I argue that Malaysian cosmetic surgeons balance and mediate between transnational beauty ideals and national tastes, producing embodied cosmetic surgery looks for individual patients.\u00a0Malaysian cosmetic surgeons facilitate the spread of regional cultural forms from around Asia in selectively drawing on circulating beauty ideals in constructing different \u201clooks\u201d for their patients.\u00a0This intermediary role has broader implications for how to think about the flow of ideas and concepts across national borders.<\/p><p><strong>Short biodata:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>Alka Menon is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Yale University, where she is also a Research Fellow at the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies and member of the Yale Council on Southeast Asian Studies.
