Abstract

Le droit se désintéresse du vêtement, il ne lui consacre aucun texte d'importance, mais, paradoxalement, les litiges ayant le vêtement pour centre de gravité n'ont jamais été aussi nombreux. Comment expliquer ce décalage ? Après avoir été pendant plusieurs siècles instrument de domination d'une classe sociale le vêtement est devenu instrument de libération. Il participe à la construction de l'identité en dehors des composantes retenues par le droit. Par ailleurs la seconde moitié du XXe siècle a été le témoin de profonds bouleversements : mondialisation des échanges - redécouverte du religieux - brouillage des identités sexuées. La loi étatique a perdu de son autorité concurencée par d'autres normes venues d'ailleurs, qu'elles appartiennent à un autre ordre juridique ou qu'elles soient culturelles, sociales ou religieuses. La futilité que matérialise le vêtement débouche sur un profond désordre juridique.

Abstract

Drawing on half-a-century of research in Zambia and regional scholarship, Karen Tranberg Hansen offers a vibrant history of changing dress practices from the late-colonial period to the present day. Exploring how the dressed body serves as the point of contact between personal, local, and global experiences, she argues that dress is just as central to political power as it is to personal style. Questioning the idea that the West led fashion trends elsewhere, Hansen demonstrates how local dress conventions appropriated western dress influences as Zambian and shows how Zambia contributed to global fashions, such as the colourful Chitenge fabric that spread across colonial trading networks. Brought to life with colour illustrations and personal anecdotes, this book spotlights dress not only as an important medium through which Zambian identities are negotiated, but also as a key reflector and driver of history.

Abstract

This is the first general monograph on ancient Greek dress in English to be published in more than a century. By applying modern dress theory to the ancient evidence, this book reconstructs the social meanings attached to the dressed body in ancient Greece. Whereas many scholars have focused on individual aspects of ancient Greek dress, from the perspectives of literary, visual, and archaeological sources, this volume synthesizes the diverse evidence and offers fresh insights into this essential aspect of ancient society. Intended to be accessible to nonspecialists as well as classicists, students as well as academic professionals, this book will find a wide audience.

Abstract

Yuniya Kawamura provides a concise and much-needed introduction to the sociology of fashion. She argues that clothing is a tangible material product whereas fashion is a symbolic cultural product. She also debunks the myth of 'the genius designer' explaining that fashion is not about clothes but is a belief.
