Body Style

Zusatztext Body Style is a welcome project! at once accessible to students and the general public and relevant to professional anthropologists... We welcome more attention to the cultural variations within Western societies and to the complex and controversial interplay between Western societies and (at least imagined versions of) non-Western ones... The book gives us pause to think about the extremes to which people will go! and perhaps must go in the post-modern era! to make themselves. Informationen zum Autor Theresa M. Winge is Assistant Professor of Fashion Design and Theory in the Department of Art and Art History, Michigan State University. In recent years, Winge's research has focused on the socio-cultural aspects of Modern Primitive body modifications and Japanese Lolitas. Zusammenfassung Reveals the subcultural body as a site for understanding identity, resistance, agency and fashion. The result of eleven years' research with urban subcultures from Europe, Australia, Asia and North America, this book will be of particular interest to students of dress and fashion, as well as sociology and cultural studies.
