Throughout history, fashion has emerged as one of the most powerful
driving forces determining the political, economic and social
ramifications of the production, distribution and circulation of
goods. Indeed fashion, especially in relation to clothing and
textiles, shapes the relationship between self and society in
unique ways. In this light, the collected papers in this volume
position fashion as the lens - the critical mediating force -
through which to analyse and understand cultural, economic and
political shifts within a broad spectrum of societies in Europe,
Asia, Africa and America from the seventeenth to twenty-first
centuries. Topics include a seventeenth-century failing fashion
region, the material politics of marketing American abolitionist
fashions, the construction of a fashionable ethos for French
perfumes, and the use and meanings of clothing and textiles in the
politics of Nigerian silk robes and early modern domestic decor in
Europe. This volume represents an important shift in scholarship
towards a more in-depth understanding of the role of fashion in
early modern and modern times and will appeal to international
readers interested in material culture, fashion, consumer studies
and cultural anthropology, among other areas.
