Le corps et ses parures : interrogations des oeuvres de Majida KHATTARI, Shadi GHADIRIAN et Shirin ALIABADI / The body and his ornaments : interrogations of art works of Majida KHATTARI, Shadi GHADIRIAN and Shirin ALIABADIKefi, Najoua 23 November 2016 (has links)
Dans les œuvres des artistes Majida KHATTARI, Shadi GHADIRIAN et Shirin ALIABADI, le corps féminin concentre à lui une large panoplie de conceptions actuelles et traditionnelles des sociétés de culture musulmane. Leurs pratiques artistiques présentent un support où se manifestent des pouvoirs politiques et religieux, de diverses contraintes sociales et de traditions, de publicités, de consumérisme, d’aspirations à un « monde meilleur »... À travers le dispositif plastique et à travers quelques données d’ordre historique et sociologique, cette thèse vise à étudier les formes et les modalités des différentes strates de cette surcharge symbolique dégagée par le corps des femmes, et qui se conjugue à travers certains codes vestimentaires, de parures et de maquillage. / In the works of the artists Majida Khattari, Shadi Ghadirian and Shirin ALIABADI, the female body focuses its broad range of current and traditional conceptions of Muslim societies. Their artistic practices have a medium where appears strong political and religious powers, various social constraints and traditions, advertising, consumerism, aspirations to a « better world »... Through the artistic layout and through some historical and sociological data, this thesis aims to study the forms and modalities of the different layers of this symbolic overload released by the female body, which is combined through certain dress codes, ornaments and make-up.

The fabric of life : linen and life cycle in England, 1678-1810Dolan, Alice Claire January 2016 (has links)
'The Fabric of Life: Linen and Life Cycle in England, 1678-1810' is structured around the human life cycle to draw out the social and cultural importance of linen for all ranks of society. Human and object life cycles are juxtaposed in the thesis to analyse co-dependent activities and processes rather than focusing on one facet of daily life. For thousands of years flax was a staple fibre, used for textile production in many parts of the globe. Cotton only overtook linen as the most popular textile in England at home and on the body during the nineteenth century. This thesis examines the preceding century to reveal why linen remained a daily necessity in England between 1678 and 1810, a period which encompassed a series of significant changes in the production, trade and use of linen. Linen was ubiquitous as underwear, sheets, table linens and for logistical purposes therefore it provides a unique insight into the early-modern world; a means of understanding the multifaceted experiences of daily life, of integrating understandings of the body, domestic, social, cultural and commercial activities. This thesis is social history through the lens of linen, reading a society through its interactions with a textile.

Le design comme fabrique de l'altérité : trajectoires sino-américaines et vêtements en devenir à New York / Fashioning otherness through design : chinese-American Trajectories and Clothes in the Making in New YorkBelkaid, Leyla 17 March 2015 (has links)
Basée sur une enquête de terrain à Manhattan, cette thèse appréhende le design en tant qu’arène transnationale de formation de la différence à partir de l’analyse des expériences, des pratiques créatives et de la production des designers de mode sino-américains nés en Asie orientale. Elle scrute les objets vestimentaires créés par un groupe de designers indépendants de la diaspora chinoise pour expliquer les cohérences et les dissonances des logiques identitaires et des processus mnémoniques qui influent sur leurs performances subjectivantes. Les récits de vie des designers et le contexte historique et social qui conditionne leurs parcours biographiques et artistiques sont examinés dans la première partie de l’essai. La seconde partie porte sur l’analyse comparative des traits stylistiques singularisants d’artefacts qui composent une sélection de collections de prêt-à-porter, selon la méthode des degrés du fait de Leroi-Gourhan. Les itinéraires sociaux hétérogènes de vêtements en circulation au moment de l’enquête à travers les réseaux commerciaux et médiatiques qui orientent leurs trajectoires de marchandises sont interrogés dans la troisème partie de la thèse. L’étude se poursuit par l’investigation des modes d’incorporation de la dynamique des innovations conçues par les designers diasporiques dans les styles de vie, les conduites sensori-motrices, les attitudes corporelles et les apparences des consommateurs. L’exploration des mécanismes par lesquels le capitalisme global opère sur les identités, les imaginaires, les objets, les techniques du corps et les techniques de soi des sujets met en lumière l’émergence de nouveaux “cosmopolitismes vernaculaires” associés à la conception, à la diffusion et au port du vêtement de mode contemporain. / Based on a fieldwork in Manhattan, the dissertation deals with design as a transnational arena for the formation of otherness through the analysis of the experiences, the creative practices and the production of Chinese-American fashion designers born in Eastern Asia. It scrutinizes the creative work of a group of independant designers from the Chinese diaspora to explain the coherences and the dissonances of the identity logics and the mnemonic processes which impact their subjective performances. The designers’ life stories and the historical and social context which determines their biographical and artistic pathways are examined in the first part of the dissertation.The second part addresses the comparative analysis of the stylistic distinguishing features of the artefacts which make up a selection of ready-to-wear collections, according to Leroi-Gourhan’s “fact degrees” method. The heterogeneous social routes of clothing items in circulation at the time of the inquiry through the commercial and media nets which drive their trajectories as commodities are questioned in the third part of the dissertation. The essay also investigates the modes of incorporation of the innovations fashioned by the diasporic designers in the lifestyles, the sensorial and motor behaviours, the bodily conducts and the appearances of the consumers. The exploration of the mecanisms through which global capitalism operates on the subjects’ identities, imaginaries, objects, bodily techniques and “technologies of the self” sheds light on the emergence of new “vernacular cosmopolitanisms” associated to the design, the dissemination and the display of contemporary dress.

Dräkt och identitet : En studie av tidigmedeltida dräktföremål från VästergarnBengtsson, Fanny January 2021 (has links)
Västergarn is a medieval settlement situated on the west coast of the island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea. It has for a long time been the focus of study for researchers due to its cultural heritage in regards of its church, rampart and archaeological remains of a settlement dating to the Early Middle Ages. The University of Uppsala conducted excavations at the site during 2005–2013 which have led to large amounts of archaeological material which enabled several theses being written about the place. This thesis aims to study metal dress accessories from Västergarn and the people behind these artifacts who lived there during the early medieval period. Gender identity, ethnicity and cultural belonging will be addressed. The main part of the thesis focuses on typology and chronology. This will be achieved by a morphological study of the material. In addition to this, an ArcGis study is conducted to study distribution patterns in the settlement. The conclusion is that dress accessories allow different conclusions on the population of Västergarn. In terms of gender, it is argued that both men and women were present, albeit artefacts of male gender dominate the assemblages. The majority of the material in terms of ethnicity and cultural identity can be attributed to a Gotlandic tradition, while some dress accessories seem to come from abroad, to the Slavonic areas and other regions in the Baltic Sea. Also, oriental influences can be seen, mainly in regard to the decorated belt mounts. in conclusion, the result of this thesis indicates that two separate groups, both Gotlanders and non-Gotlanders were active in Västergarn during the early Middle Ages which is visible in the two churches, the Baltic ware pottery and the form of dress accessories people wore at the time.

Aso Ebi : impact of the social uniform in Nigerian caucuses, Yoruba culture and contemporary trendsAdefolake Odunayo Orimolade 11 1900 (has links)
This study is a critique of Aso Ebi in Owambe social uniform and social performance phenomena of the Yoruba culture of Nigeria in West Africa. The Aso Ebi phenomenon is a social uniform that is inextricable from the Owambe spectacle of the Yoruba culture, which, in itself, is a social performance. Aso Ebi is a fabric that is selected, made into garments and worn by groups of people who are related to one another in various ways such as family, friends or comrades. The uniforms are worn for social gatherings, especially celebrations, which are popularly called Owambe. These celebrations are very elaborate and loud, much like a grand spectacle put on to show wealth, unity and flamboyance. The research is the explanation of how the Aso Ebi and Owambe social uniforms manifest themselves and this manifestation is presented through a body of artworks. The artworks seek to expose the unseen actualities involved in participating in these social performances and issues of social survival within these cultural phenomena. The analysis addresses the impacts and influence of conformity in cooperative behaviour by an individual within his/her social identity and relationships. The main question this study addresses is whether the positive factors of unity, social order and expressive visual flamboyance of the social phenomena outweigh the negative impacts particularly on the individuals who participate in these social performances. This is done by acknowledging the experiences of the participating individuals in the conformity and transmission modes of these phenomena in this culture. The visual productions of the concepts in the research are achieved through performance, collages, photography and a sculptural installation. The significance of these emergent visual productions is that they shift the focus from the impression of the group to the conformity by the individual. This highlights the problems faced by the participating individuals in the pursuit and participation of this cultural phenomenon. / Department of Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / M.A. (Visual Arts)
