Book excerpt: "Sweden's wealth of folk costumes, which bear witness to the dress styles of the rural population long ago, continues to fascinate us and cause us to reflect on times past. Many people today seek to root their style of dress, their color sense, indeed in many cases their very identity, in tradition and traditional practices. For those involved in folk music or folk dance in Sweden, the old costumes are a natural part of the scene. And abroad, Swedes are constantly asked about the appearance of our folk costumes and whether they are surviving. In this booklet, Ingrid Bergman, PhL and former head of the textile department at Nordiska Museet, briefly familiarizes us with the meaning of the term folk costume in our country."--Sweden Bookshop Website.

Download or read book Dressing with Purpose written by Carrie Hertz and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dress helps us fashion identity, history, community, and place. Dress has been harnessed as a metaphor for both progress and stability, the exotic and the utopian, oppression and freedom, belonging and resistance. Dressing with Purpose examines three Scandinavian dress traditions—Swedish folkdräkt, Norwegian bunad, and Sámi gákti—and traces their development during two centuries of social and political change across northern Europe. By the 20th century, many in Sweden worried about the ravages of industrialization, urbanization, and emigration on traditional ways of life. Norway was gripped in a struggle for national independence. Indigenous Sámi communities—artificially divided by national borders and long resisting colonial control—rose up in protests that demanded political recognition and sparked cultural renewal. Within this context of European nation-building, colonial expansion, and Indigenous activism, traditional dress took on special meaning as folk, national, or ethnic minority costumes—complex categories that deserve reexamination today. Through lavishly illustrated and richly detailed case studies, Dressing with Purpose introduces readers to individuals who adapt and revitalize dress traditions to articulate who they are, proclaim personal values and group allegiances, strive for sartorial excellence, reflect critically on the past, and ultimately, reshape the societies they live in.
