Download or read book Dress and Ideology written by Shoshana-Rose Marzel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-18 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dress and fashion are powerful visual means of communicating ideology, whether political, social or religious. From the communist values of equality, simplicity and solidarity exemplified in the Mao suit to the myriad of fashion protests of feminists such as French revolutionary women's demand to wear trousers, dress can symbolize ideological orthodoxy as well as revolt. With contributions from a wide range of international scholars, this book presents the first scholarly analysis of dress and ideology through accessible case studies. Chapters are organized thematically and explore dress in relation to topics including nation, identity, religion, politics and utopias, across an impressive chronological reach from antiquity to the present day. Dress & Ideology will appeal to students and scholars of fashion, history, sociology, cultural studies, politics and gender studies.
Download or read book From Flappers to Rappers written by Marcel Danesi and published by Canadian Scholars. This book was released on 2018-03-26 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is youth culture coming to an end? In this exciting new read, Marcel Danesi offers a compelling account of how youth culture emerged and evolved in North America over the course of the twentieth century and why it may be disappearing. Tracing the origins of youth culture in the Roaring Twenties through its evolution from the rock and roll rebels of the 1950s to the counterculture hippies of the 1960s, the punk and disco subcultures of the 1970s, and the rap movement of the 1990s, From Flappers to Rappers demonstrates how the musical genres, lifestyles, ideologies, and social movements that characterized the different eras of youth culture have radically reshaped our world. In engaging and accessible prose, Danesi makes the argument that the current fragmented environment of the Internet cannot sustain a united community of youths. He analyzes how new technology, which previously helped to entrench youth movements in society, is now ironically bringing about the demise of youth culture as we know it. Brimming with thought-provoking examples and accompanied by a student workbook, From Flappers to Rappers will be indispensable for students of sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, and history, as well as for anyone interested in youth and popular culture.

Download or read book Adventure Divas written by Holly Morris and published by Villard. This book was released on 2005-10-04 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of working behind a desk, Holly Morris had finally had enough. So she quit her job and set out to prove that adventure is not just a vacation style but a philosophy of living and to find like-minded, risk-taking women around the globe. With modest backing, a small television crew, her spirited producer-mother, Jeannie, and a whole lot of chutzpah, Morris tracked down artists, activists, and politicos–women of action who are changing the rules and sometimes the world around them. In these pages, Morris brings to life the remarkable people and places she’s encountered on the road while filming her PBS series Adventure Divas and other programs. We meet Assata Shakur, a former Black Panther and social activist and now a fugitive living in exile in Cuba; Kiran Bedi, New Delhi’s chief of police, who revolutionized India’s infamously brutal Tijar Jail with her humanitarian ethic; New Zealand pop star Hinewehi Mohi, a Maori who reinvigorates her native culture for a new generation; and Mokarrameh Ghanbari, a septuagenarian painter and rice farmer who lives in the tiny village of Darikandeh on the Caspian plains of Iran, where her creative talents run counter to the government’s strict stance on art. Along the way, Morris herself becomes a certified Adventure Diva, as she hunts for wild boar with Penan tribesmen in the jungles of Borneo, climbs the Matterhorn short-roped to a salty fourth-generation Swiss guide, and memorably becomes the first woman ever to enter the traditional camel race of the Saharan oasis town of Timia. Intelligent, phenomenally funny, and chock-full of rich and telling details of place, Adventure Divas is a pro-woman chronicle for the twenty-first century. In a pilgrimage fueled by curiosity, ideology, and full-on estrogen power, Holly Morris has paved the way for all of us to discover our own diva within and set out on our own adventures.
