In this podcast, we discuss "Fashion and Feeling - The Affective Politics of Dress by Roberto Filippello and Ilya Parkins" an excellent selection of chapters exploring fashion and feeling. We'll be focusing on how clothing can be more than mere material objects and can be seen as embodying and communicating emotions, ideas, and historical context. Each chapter explores the affective potential of clothing, connection to identity, and role in cultural and social change. We'll be looking at topics like the history of the closet and the role of clothing in therapy, the impact of militarism on clothing design, and the significance of beadwork for Indigenous communities. Additionally, the book considers how clothing can be used to express and process grief, trauma, and belonging, and how it can be a tool for challenging societal norms and advocating for social justice.
