ART 5190: Fashion and Self Fashioning
Denise Amy Baxter
Self-fashioning, or the process by which individuals actively participate in the shaping of their personal, social, and political identities, has become a key topic of interest among literary and cultural historians. This course will explore intersections between fashion (both physical garments and their representations in art and literature) and the constitution of the self. Rather than organizing the course around a single historical and geographical period, we will explore these issues in a series of case studies. We will also be working in conjunction with the Texas Fashion Collection. While all of these case studies will be taken from the history of western art, final papers that focus on non-western topics are also welcome. Students will be collaborators in the organization of the course, bringing in readings that serve their research interests.
