Description
FASHION AND TEXTILE II
From the Renaissance to the French Revolution
How have different identities dressed since the Renaissance? Where did textile raw materials come from and how were they traded? What do we know about dress codes since the Renaissance and how do they live on to this day? These and other questions of the material cultural history of textiles and clothing will be explored in this lecture using selected visual sources and other media. The following aspects are of particular interest and form focal points of the lecture:
- Basic knowledge of the history and functions of gender clothing
- Emergence of the production conditions of textiles and clothing
- Conveyance of the world and human image of the time periods
- Fashion and communication; rituals, gestures and dress languages
- History of economic and distribution processes, technical inventions
- The third dimension in clothing
- Armour - fashion in steel
- 1500 and 1800 - two European threshold ages and the consequences
- Queen Elisabeth + Patterns of fashion
- Body images caught between opposing forces
