- Inhalt
- Fashion has been an integral part of human culture and society for centuries. As the world evolves, so does the fashion industry. The importance of the fashion industry in today s world cannot be overstated, as it plays such a crucial role in multiple aspects of our lives, from individual expression to global economic growth. (Meet Your Wardrobe)
When looking at gender, national, age-based, or class-based identity, we find a plethora of building blocks that constitute who we are and how we express this multifaceted identity. One aspect of our identity and a very visible one at that is fashion. What we wear adds to who we are and who we present ourselves to be, but it also reveals facets of ourselves that we are not actively projecting. In turn, we read other people s fashion, on the street, on TV, in magazines, or in literature, and automatically draw conclusions about them. Just like we do now, people have read other people s fashions for centuries and people have equally based parts of their respective identities on their own fashion.
In this course, we will begin by looking at late 18th-century/Regency British fashion and identity, then move on to Victorian and Edwardian fashion and identities, and finally conclude with War and Interwar Britain, thus covering a period of roughly 150 years of British fashion history. In each period, we will look at normative and emerging gender identities, class and fashion, socio-political developments such as the Suffragette movement, the effect of new technologies on the fashion industry, and fashion and health. In so doing, we will analyse how fashion makes us strong, sick, funny, radical, healthy, self-conscious, individual and part of a group. In short, in this course we will use primary material such as newspaper clippings, literary excerpts, film stills, posters, and advertisements to sound out what fashion can do and what it has done in constituting English identities in the period indicated.
