Fashioning Power: Visual Self-Presentation in Social Life

Anna Akbari
4.9/5 (32220 ratings)
Description:This book serves as a contribution to the field of visual sociology, as it addresses how fashion operates as a visually articulated social system that facilitates the negotiation of power. By exploring the various facets of one’s visual self-presentation – new media, sexuality and the workplace, visual conformity and rebellion, techniques of the body, and the transience of identity in a consumer society – it looks at how fashion creates a “space of appearance” within the human drama, which facilitates the individual’s ability to speak freely and claim power. The book argues that one’s ability to acquire social capital is no longer linked exclusively to one’s economic and social status, nor is one limited to the reality of biographical circumstances, but rather, this power stems from the exploration and articulation of one’s possible selves, through a commitment to both imaginative change and youthful self-preservation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
