Part of the Fashioning the Body, Shaping the Nation Mosaic. Additional Time Slot Wednesday 11:30-12:30pm for FLIC Students in Bosler 310.
In Italian culture, fashion plays a vital role in enabling individuals to construct, sculpt and express their identities. This course examines Italian fashion as a cultural dimension, an industry, and an indicator of social change. We will analyze fashion "texts," such as ads, pictures, feature films, documentaries, television shows, fashion shows, magazines, and literary pieces to investigate the fashion universe from multiple critical perspectives (including history, semiotics, culture, ethnicity, and gender). A specific section will be devoted to explore sustainable fashion. This course is taught in English. It can be taken on its own or as part of the spring 2024 mosaic, "Fashioning the Body, Shaping the Nation: Fashion through the lens of History, Culture, Gender, and Race."
