Workman Jane E., Freeburg Beth W.Dress and societyNew York : Fairchild books ; Oxford, 2009, 1 vol. (XVIII-380p.).ISBN 978-1-56367-626-0Résumé :Today’s diverse population demands an increasing quantity and variety of clothing appropriate for different social situations. Understanding the societal expectations associated with dress is critical to a successful career in fashion. Also critical to a successful career in fashion are research techniques to capture the history of current and future trends in fashion. Dress and society fulfills these requirements for students pursuing careers in the fashion industry. Jane Workman and Beth Freeburg present a sociological perspective on the way people dress and a research perspective to help students develop an appreciation of the value of research skills in their academic and professional careers. Analyzing dress as an individual social behavior enables students to draw connections between their own livres and different styles of dress. Concepts such as gender, religion, race, education, cultural norms, and violations of cultural norms are thoroughly discussed. Each chapter opens with a headline from mass media and his followed by discussion questions for students to consider as they learn about these topics. Chapters conclude with a summary, key terms, suggested readings, and research activities. With these concepts and engaging pedagogical features, the research demonstrates practical application and makes the content enjoyable and memorable for the students.Axe de recherches :Axe transversal : Cultures visuelles
