You can keep your hat on. Essay on costume and culture
19.99 €
Linor Goralik's book contains her extensive essays, written over the past twenty years and published primarily in the journal Fashion Theory: Clothes, Body, Culture. The author has repeatedly emphasized that her studies of costume theory and history (her key topics of interest are "contemporary costume and identity" and "costume in times of crisis") are closely linked to similar work she carries out in her artistic work. This involves researching the individual experience of living through situations of internal challenge generated by tense external circumstances. The essays included in this book demonstrate not only examples of this work, but also the author's treatment of the topics of transgression, ethnicity, social art, leadership, illness, and hospital space.
The collection is divided into three parts: the first ("Boy in a Blouse with Buttons") includes texts dedicated to the vestimentary practices of the late Soviet period and post-Soviet emigration; the second section ("You Don't Have to Take Off Your Hat") is dedicated to the existence of clothing in various semantic contexts - from the entourage of fashion shoots to modern erotic costume; the third part ("But you, my love, you are not like that!") consists of essays on important trends in modern culture - from quarantine practices related to the body to nostalgia for the USSR in food branding. Linor Goralik is a prose writer, poetess and journalist, author of the books "Named by Such and Such" and "Notebook of Katerina Suvorova", published by "New Literary Review".
