Rethinking Fashion Globalization

Rethinking Fashion Globalizationversammelt originelle, vielfältige und reich reflektierte Kritiken des Modesystems sowohl von etablierten als auch aufstrebenden Modewissenschaftlern, Forschern und kreativen Praktikern. Die Kapitel umfassen aktuelle Aufrufe zur Entkolonialisierung und Inklusion sowie Überlegungen zu Entwestlichung, Postkolonialismus, Nachhaltigkeit, Transnationalismus, nationalen Identitäten, sozialem Aktivismus, globalen Modenarrativen, Vielfalt und mehr. Das Buch ist in drei Hauptthemen gegliedert: „Disruptions in Time and Space“, „Nationalism and Transnationalism“ und „Global Design Practices“. Diese Themen zeichnen die Ursprünge, Praktiken und Zukunft der Mode neu auf, um Alternativen für die Rückeroberung und Überarbeitung der Modeglobalisierung im 21. Jahrhundert aufzuzeigen.
