The International Politics of Fashion

Being Fab in a Dangerous World
Herausgeber: Behnke, Andreas

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book seeks to address and fill a puzzling omission in contemporary critical IR scholarship. Following on from the aesthetic turn in IR, critical and 'postmodern' IR has produced an impressive array of studies into movies, literature, music and art and the way these media produce, mediate, and represent international politics. By contrast, the proponents of the aesthetic turn have consistently overlooked and ignored fashion as a source of knowledge about global politics.
