Opis

"Fashion Theory" takes as its starting point a definition of 'fashion' as the cultural construction of the embodied identity. It provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the analysis of cultural phenomena ranging from foot binding to fashion advertising. All articles have solid theoretical underpinnings and are based on original research.

This special issue of "Fashion Theory" provides invaluable insights into African diasporic dress and textiles. With contributions from some of the core members of the international Dress and the African Diaspora Network (DaDN), it covers recent debates on new terminologies and ideas that have critically informed dress and African diaspora. A rich collection of themes and approaches articulate various issues on a subject that has remained relevant and influential in other areas of dress studies.

"Fashion Theory "is covered by the following abstracting/indexing services: Abstracts in Anthropology; AOI Anthropological Index Online; ARTbibliographies Modern; British Humanities Index; DAAI Design and Applied Arts Index; IBR International Bibliography of Book Reviews of Scholarly Literature in the Humanities and Social Sciences; IBSS International Bibliography of the Social Sciences; IBZ International Bibliography of Periodical Literature on the Humanities and Social Sciences; ISI Arts and Humanities Citation Index; Scopus; Sociological Abstracts
