Description

This title begins with a series of commentaries on how the military/industrial practices have changed postcolonial or post war societies. Here, the impact of conquest determines a new postcolonial aesthetics of textile and clothing. In each study, the military and/or colonial regimes are shown to disrupt local textile production and garment-making. Textile and costume are important because they reflect one of the core practices which work as a bridge to connect textile makers in an expressive, creative and deeply physical way to matters of cultural significance. Further, this title, "Fashion & War in Popular Culture," challenges the easy adoption of the military as chic.
