Dress, Body, Culture

Series Editor Joanne B. Eicher, Regents' Professor, University of Minnesota

Books in this provocative series seek to articulate the connections between culture and
dress which is defined here in its broadest possible sense as any modification or
supplement to the body. Interdisciplinary in approach, the series highlights the dialogue
between identity and dress, cosmetics, coiffure, and body alterations as manifested in
practices as varied as plastic surgery, tattooing, and ritual scarification. The series aims,
in particular, to analyze the meaning of dress in relation to popular culture and gender
issues and will include works grounded in anthropology, sociology, history, art history,
literature, and folklore.
