Recenzii
In her exciting new book, Laura T. Di Summa opens a new subject for the philosophy of film - movie fashion. Through enlightening discussions of costume design, accessories, and prosthetics as both elements of film style and prompts for questions of personal identity, Di Summa weaves an intricate text of her own.
In recent years, theoretical aesthetics has been expanding its purview both in terms of the subjects it finds worthy of attention and of the sources it is willing to consider for philosophical insight. A Philosophy of Fashion Through Film exemplifies both of these tendencies with style and verve. It takes fashion as its topic and examines what it has to say about the expression of selfhood by making the ingenious methodological move of approaching this topic through the optic of cinema where the issue is especially pronounced. Recommended to all lovers of fashion, film, and philosophy.
Laura T. Di Summa has written a marvellous book on the philosophy of film, arguing that fashion is performative - something we do, not just something we wear. Drawing on Walter Benjamin and Noël Carroll, she shows with admirable clarity how fashion is woven into cinematic aesthetics. A pleasure to read.
