Abstract

Recherche de l'élégance, conformité au goût du jour, gaspillage ostentatoire, manifestation d'une transgression Depuis le XIXe siècle, la manière de se vêtir est soumise à la mode. Ce phénomène social, dont la naissance coïncide avec l'émergence d'une société des individus, a intéressé la littérature comme les sciences humaines et en particulier la sociologie. De la figure du dandy jusqu'à l'explosion du prêt-à-porter et la multiplication des collections, cet ouvrage présente les approches sociales de la mode. Il montre comment, loin de s'exclure, la volonté de distinction et la recherche d'un conformisme social sont intimement liées dans nos choix vestimentaires. Il révèle combien la mode imprègne notre imaginaire collectif

Abstract

This volume presents a collection of the most recent knowledge on the relationship between gender and fashion in historical and contemporary contexts. Through fourteen essays divided into three segments - how dress creates, disrupts and transcends gender - the chapters investigate gender issues through the lens of fashion. Crossing Gender Boundaries first examines how clothing has been, and continues to be, used to create and maintain the binary gender division that has come to permeate Western and westernized cultures. Next, it explores how dress can be used to contest and subvert binary gender expectations, before a final section that considers the meaning of gender and how dress can transcend it, focusing on unisex and genderless clothing. The essays consider how fashion can both constrict and free gender expression, explore the ways dress and gender are products of one other and illuminate the construction of gender through social norms. Readers will find that through analysis of the relationship between gender and fashion, they gain a better understanding of the world around them.

Abstract

Le souci du paraître et des apparences imprègne nos sociétés occidentales. L’espace européen fut, dès le Moyen Âge, très actif dans l’élaboration de modes de paraître et d’apparences qui ont su s’étendre à d’autres espaces géographiques et culturels. L’apport croisé de différentes disciplines (histoire, histoire de l’art, sociologie, littérature, cultural et fashion studies) enrichit la réflexion sur la sémiologie du paraître et sur ses espaces d’expression du Moyen Âge à nos jours. Les contributions analysent différentes manifestations matérielles du paraître, allant des vêtements et parfums aux décors de table et d’intérieurs, en passant par les objets chinés, les collections d’art et les accessoires high-tech de communication. Elles questionnent différents signes et codes du paraître en relation avec l’âge, le sexe et la profession de leurs promoteurs, et en fonction du moment de la semaine et de l’espace dans lequel ils se manifestent. Elles abordent les échanges de modes de paraître entre différents espaces européens et intercontinentaux, la représentation des apparences des peuples d’espaces géographiques donnés, la question du paraître dans les intérieurs privés ainsi que la fonction emblématique de Paris comme espace de la Mode.

Abstract

Through meticulous examinations, this book analyzes how women update their identities and articulate their feelings through clothing and art in protests, politics in the United States in the 20th century. Topics explored include the suffragists and their impact on contemporary art, the significance of the red dress in both The Handmaid’s Tale and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women movement, the impact of the Miss America protests, the rising popularity of the pantsuit for women, the recent dominance of the pussyhat, and the way that feminist slogans are disseminated on t-shirts. Movements discussed include craftivism, hashtag culture, feminism, the CROWN act, Pantsuit Nation, socially-committed stores, and more. Interdisciplinary and intersectional at its core, addressing numerous areas, including fashion, sociology, visual culture, art history, feminism, and popular culture; Fashioning Politics and Protests uncovers how women continue to use visual means, explored via their clothing, to change the world. Emily L. Newman is Associate Professor of Art History at Texas A&M University-Commerce, USA. Her research concerns intersections of modern and contemporary art history, popular culture, fashion, and the female body exemplified by her latest book, Female Body Image in Contemporary Art: Dieting, Eating Disorders, Self-Harm, and Fatness (2018).
