What is the relationship between the soul, or inner life, and what
we wear in the making of identity and belief? What bearing do
religious and political belonging, respectability, and resistance
have on the way in which we dress? Why have more traditional
religious practices been so prescriptive about body adornment?
Historically, fashionable dress and religion have been positioned
as polar opposites. Silhouettes of the Soul brings them together,
placing them in conversation with each other. By moving beyond
traditional, social scientific, and historical analysis of
religious attire and adornment the book presents a variety of
disciplinary approaches from across regional, social, and religious
locations. Contentious and challenging, as well as academically
rigorous, the book's diverse range of contributors - from fashion
and religious studies scholars, to designers, activists, monastics,
and journalists - explore the relationship between religion and
fashion, extending the meanings and possibilities of both dress and
spirituality. Combining interviews and personal stories with more
traditional theoretical analysis, Silhouettes of the Soul offers
new ways of looking at the relationship between religion, personal
convictions, and self-expression - our sense of self and our sense
of fashion.
