Examining the dynamics between subject, photographer and viewer,
Fashioning Brazil analyses how Brazilians have appropriated and
reinterpreted clothing influences from local and global cultures.
Exploring the various ways in which Brazil has been fashioned by
the pioneering scientific and educational magazine, National
Geographic, the book encourages us to look beyond simplistic
representations of exotic difference. Instead, it brings to light
an extensive history of self-fashioning within Brazil, which has
emerged through cross-cultural contact, slavery, and immigration.
Providing an in-depth examination of Brazilian dress and fashion
practices as represented by the quasi-ethnographic gaze of National
Geographic and National Geographic Brazil (the Portuguese language
edition of the magazine, established in 2000), the book unpacks a
series of case studies. Taking us from body paint to Lycra, via
loincloths and bikinis, Kutesko frames her analysis within the
historical, cultural, and political context of Latin American
interactions with the United States. Exploring how dress can be
used to manipulate identity and disrupt expectations, Fashioning
Brazil examines readers' sensory engagements with an iconic
magazine, and sheds new light on key debates concerning global
dress and fashion.
