This volume explores the social, political, economic, and cultural significance of various kinds of uniforms to consider how they embody gender, class, sexuality, race, nationality, and belief. From the pageantry of uniformed citizens to the rationalizing of time and labour, this category of dress has enabled distinct forms of social organization, sometimes repressive, sometimes utopian. With thematic sections on the social meaning of uniform in the military, in institutions, and political movements, its use in fashion, in the workplace, and at leisure, a series of case studies consider what sartorial uniformity means to the history of the body and society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRanging from English public school uniform to sacred dress in the Vatican, from Australian airline uniforms to the garb worn by soldiers in combat, \u003ci\u003eUniform\u003c\/i\u003e draws attention to a visual and material practice with the power to regulate or disrupt civil society. Bringing together original research from emerging and established academics, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of fashion, design, art, popular culture, anthropology, cultural history, and sociology, as well as anyone interested in what constitutes a \"modern\" appearance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJane Tynan\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Design History and Theory, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Netherlands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Godson\u003c\/b\u003e is Programme Leader of the MA in Design History and Material Culture at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, Ireland.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 25, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52502425403699,"sku":"9781350227224","price":87.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/O-tq17E-vv9781350227224.webp?v=1760154948","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/uniform-clothing-and-discipline-in-the-modern-world-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
