Description

This course introduces the critical study of fashion in media and culture. The aim is to provide a framework for studying how fashion, as a multi-billion dollar global industry and significant component of everyday life, helps structure social relations and functions as a site of identity construction. We develop theoretical, analytical, and methodological approaches to studying fashion and fashion media, drawing on interdisciplinary readings that place questions of identity and power in conversation with matters of technology, marketing, production, and labor. As we work through studies of personal style blogs, designer brand campaigns, YouTube tutorials, magazines, media depictions of the fashion world, and beyond, students have the opportunity to critically explore topics of personal and professional interest related to fashion, media, and culture.
