Dangerous Bodies: New Global Perspectives on Fashion and Transgression de Royce Mahawatte

Dangerous Bodies: New Global Perspectives on Fashion and Transgression: Palgrave Studies in Fashion and the Body

Editat de Royce Mahawatte, Jacki Willson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 ian 2023
This edited book brings together new perspectives on fashion, the body, and politics. The intention of this collection is to explore the cultural intersection between bodies, fashion, and transgression, often in the most unlikely of locations. Bodies are political players in culture and the authors gathered here ask a range of pressing questions. What role do fashioned bodies play in resistance, in meeting governmental boundaries or institutional power? Arguably, fashion is an aspect of modern warfare and style can defend and attack in cultural space. So, how do fashioned bodies occupy the grey area between social control and the resistance to power? This book is interdisciplinary and international, with contributors situated within a broad range of disciplines including Art History and Critical Practice, Cultural Studies, Fashion Critical Studies, Film and Literary Studies, Performance Studies, Politics and International Studies, Sociology, Gender, Queer, LGBTI, andCritical Race Studies.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“Dangerous Bodies is an excellent interdisciplinary collection focusing on issues of transgression and the fashioned body. The chapters explore the role of sartorial politics in challenging various forms of hegemony and authority.  How can dress challenge oppression? How does it become a point of resistance? How can it create spaces of belonging? These are some of the key issues Mahawatte and Willson’s book deftly responds to."
