Abstract

Over the past ten years the study of dress history has finally achieved academic respectability. This book shows how the fields of dress history and dress studies are now benefitting from the adoption of new multi-disciplinary approaches and outlines the full range of these approaches which draw on material culture, ethnography, and cultural studies. Raises a series of frank and fresh issues surrounding approaches to the history of dress, including analysis of the academic gender and subject divides that have riven it in the past. Comprehensive, engaging and trenchant, this will become the benchmark volume in the study of dress history.Bron: http://www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9780719040658/

Abstract

Friends and fellow authors Henry Rider Haggard and Rudyard Kipling were prominent figures of imperial and colonial myth-making. Both writers were praised by their contemporaries for their alleged knowledge of and ability to speak from within the 'native' cultures of Africa and India. However, both exhibited a fascination with the colonized Other, displaying the striking ways in which the colonizing culture asserts its self-identity and authority. In this highly original and exciting re-reading of the classic works of Haggard and Kipling, Gail Ching-Liang Low asserts that the Other is actually a mirror reflecting the image of the colonizer - a `cultural cross-dressing'. Employing psychoanalysis, anthropology and post-colonial theory, she analyzes the way in which fantasy and fabulation is caught up in networks of desire and power. White Skins/Black Masks is a fascinating new entry into the current debates of post-colonial theory, and will be important reading for students of literary and cultural studies.
