Die Unvollkommenheit der Mode. Kleidung als kulturelle Praxis

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, language: German, abstract: Clothing creates identities and roles on the body of its wearer, which are also visible to fellow human beings. Thus, the individual enters complex and diverse fields of tension concerning fashion, which will be examined in the following. To this end, an analysis of the phenomena that can be found in the dynamic rules and diversities of fashion clothing as a semiotic system and cultural practice will be conducted. I place particular focus here on the difficulties and discomforts that fashion itself and our clothing as an everyday practice entail for the individual. The aim is to explain why fashion is so popular despite its system being so complex and appearing complicated. Jema.
