Worn Out. Shoes, Emotional Attachment, and the Affects of Wearing
19.99 €
Second-hand and imperfect garments are often on the periphery of fashion and therefore out of sight of its researchers. Meanwhile, the majority of our interactions with clothes consist of wearing them. Choosing shoes as the object of her study, Ellen Sampson draws on a variety of scientific methods (from phenomenology and anthropology to psychoanalysis, philosophy, and art history) to reveal the lived nature of the relationship between shoes and their wearer. The author analyzes the affective and mnemonic mechanisms associated with shoes, demonstrating how the marks left on them embody human experience. A special feature of the book is the diary excerpts that precede each chapter. This diary reflects an experiment conducted by Sampson: she created her own shoes and wore them, conceptualizing her own sensations and changes in her state of mind associated with the practice of wearing them. Ellen Sampson is a curator, researcher and Senior Research Fellow at Northumbria University's School of Design.
