Book Interplay of Things

    Book Details:
  • Author : Anthony B. Pinn
  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2021-09-20
  • ISBN : 1478021764
  • Pages : 167 pages

Download or read book Interplay of Things written by Anthony B. Pinn and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Interplay of Things Anthony B. Pinn theorizes religion as a technology for interrogating human experiences and the boundaries between people and other things. Rather than considering religion in terms of institutions, doctrines, and creeds, Pinn shows how religion exposes the openness and porousness of all things and how they are always involved in processes of exchange and interplay. Pinn examines work by Nella Larsen and Richard Wright that illustrates an openness between things, and he traces how pop art and readymades point to the multidirectional nature of influence. He also shows how Ron Athey's and Clifford Owens's performance art draws out inherent interconnectedness to various cultural codes in ways that reveal the symbiotic relationship between art and religion as a technology. Theorizing that antiblack racism and gender- and class-based hostility constitute efforts to close off the porous nature of certain bodies, Pinn shows how many artists have rebelled against these attempts to counter openness. His analyses offer a means by which to understand the porous, unbounded, and open nature of humans and things.

Book The Media and the Models of Masculinity

Download or read book The Media and the Models of Masculinity written by Mark Moss and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Moss's The Media and the Models of Masculinity details the impact that the mass media has upon men's sense of identity, style, and deportment. From advertising to television shows, mass consumer culture defines and identifies how men select and sort what is fashionable and acceptable. Utilizing a large mine of mediated imagery, men and boys construct and define how to dress, act, and comport themselves. By engaging critical discussions on everything from fashion, to domestic space, to sports and beyond, readers are privy to a modern and fascinating account of the diverse and dominant perceptions of and on Western masculine culture. Historical tropes and models are especially important in this construction and influence and impact contemporary variations.

Book Fashioning Identity

    Book Details:
  • Author : Maria Mackinney-Valentin
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2017-02-09
  • ISBN : 1474249116
  • Pages : 299 pages

Download or read book Fashioning Identity written by Maria Mackinney-Valentin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We dress to communicate who we are, or who we would like others to think we are, telling seductive fashion narratives through our adornment. Yet, today, fashion has been democratized through high-low collaborations, social media and real-time fashion mediation, complicating the basic dynamic of identity displays, and creating tension between personal statements and social performances. Fashioning Identity explores how this tension is performed through fashion production and consumption,by examining a diverse series of case studies - from ninety-year old fashion icons to the paradoxical rebellion in 'normcore', and from soccer jerseys in Kenya to heavy metal band T-shirts in Europe. Through these cases, the role of time, gender, age memory, novelty, copying, the body and resistance are considered within the context of the contemporary fashion scene. Offering a fresh approach to the subject by readdressing Fred Davis' seminal concept of 'identity ambivalence' in Fashion, Culture and Identity (1992), Mackinney-Valentin argues that we are in an epoch of 'status ambivalence', in which fashioning one's own identity has become increasingly complicated.
