With a focus on diverse cultural practices, this book offers new insights into the dynamic relationships between fashion, bodies, and material culture. In a series of original case studies, both historical and contemporary, the collection explores how fashion and clothing affect articulations of body and self, experiences of time and place, and the shaping of social and local\/global relationships. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith chapters from leading international scholars, \u003ci\u003eFashion and Materiality\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader from the study of clothing and biography, and an early modern \"foreign dress\" collection, to Chinoiserie clothing in 18th-century Europe and fast fashion production in today's China. The book also examines fashion's role in nation building, and entanglements between fashion and migration across clothing donations for Syrian refugees in Germany and the circulation of \"refugee chic\" on international fashion runways. Scrutinizing the dense connections between fashion, clothing, materiality, and humanity, the book shows how the material interacts forcefully with the personal and political.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeike Jenss\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Fashion Studies at Parsons School of Design, The New School, New York, USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eViola Hofmann\u003c\/b\u003e is a full-time faculty member at the Institute of Arts and Material Culture at TU Dortmund University, Germany.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 22, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51788703007008,"sku":"9781350228078","price":80.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/276167b8e770d86b4ed5d65439411cb7.webp?v=1780657900","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/fashion-and-materiality-cultural-practices-in-global-contexts-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
