Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Is Isabel Archer a lady in black or a lady in red? Who might wear a power jacket and what might long trench coats conceal? And what do the Café Society, the Widows of Culloden and Anglomania have in common? This AR will answer these questions and will look at the culture of fashion from a variety of perspectives. We learn why Walter Benjamin used the image of a tiger's leap when talking about fashion and scrutinize the intricacies of padded shoulders, leather jackets or corsets in a variety of contexts ranging from literature to film and from computer games to everyday lives. The readings discussed in class will range from more general critical perspectives that aim to theorize fashion to more specific discussions of individual items of clothing. Integral part of the AR will be the Fashionable Queens conference organised by Monika Seidl and Eva Flicker. Participation is obligatory (3-4 Dec 2010, details can be found under www.univie.ac.at/fashionablequeens). You will have the unique opportunity to listen to a number of those critics whose essays you will have studied in class.
