90986 - GLOBAL FASHION

Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

Il corso indaga le dimensioni materiali e immateriali della moda, intesa quale rilevante industria culturale per la definizione dell'identità individuale e sociale. Sebbene le modalità di diffusione della moda siano ancora dibattute dagli studiosi, la globalizzazione della moda è una realtà che si rivela in correlazioni precise e storicamente rilevanti tra pratiche vestimentarie occidentali ed espressioni culturali globali. Le vicende coloniali e postcoloniali nella definizione di moda e di costume sono visibili nei codici estetici dei giovani designer di marchi globali e locali e nelle scelte fluide dei consumatori in tutto il mondo.

Contenuti

Clothing is among the most visible and meaningful ways in which we express our identities. At the same time, our clothes are material items produced and consumed through an ever-expanding global fashion industry. This course will explore the various social, cultural, economic, political, and visual meanings associated with the representation of fashion , combining anthropological and historical methods.

During class students may present with individual projects/presentations on the subject matter.
