FS8112 Special Topics: Fashion and Postcolonial Studies

Fall: 1 section x 3 hours per week x 1 semester (total 3 hours)

Course Description:

Fashion is often dismissed as frivolous to colonial projects. It is also regularly forgotten in postcolonial studies. And yet, fashion has been vital to the colonial and postcolonial imaginations. In fact, postcolonial identities continue to be fashioned by dress, style, and hair. Through the diversified media of clothing and ornament, this course will consider how fashion has been used both to disseminate and dispute the political goals of colonialism past and present. It will consider: What might postcolonial fashions look like? And what can we learn from fashioning the postcolonial? With these considerations in mind, students will explore theories and narratives of the postcolonial in local and global contexts where intersections of race, gender, and class manifest in a variety of sartorial practices that include: the imperial politics of fabric and fabrication; the biopolitics of the hairpiece; textile production and consumption in western and non-western markets; cultural appropriations of the “exotic”; and dressing as a political statement.
