Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Exploring the experience of Auschwitz prisoners through the lens of dress and clothing, Dress in Auschwitz examines clothing's profound importance to the inmates' physical, psychological, and spiritual survival.Drawing on a wide range of sources, including survivor memoirs, testimonies, pers…onal interviews, surviving garments, and rare illustrations, Sofia Pantouvaki focuses on inmates sartorial activities and the intimate psychological relationships that developed between prisoners and their clothes. In so doing, she highlights how clothing was vital in facilitating inmates daily lives, improving their chances of survival in the camp, and supporting the desire for personal expression in a dehumanizing environment.Holocaust survivors memoirs and interviews have increasingly evidenced that the infamous striped uniforms were not the standard clothing throughout the years of the Nazi concentration camp system. As the war continued and shortages intensified, prisoners were often given a wide range of garments, including uniforms of deceased Soviet prisoners-of-war and civilian garments from the piles of clothing of other incoming prisoners.Dress in Auschwitz allows us a glimpse of the persons individual - and sometimes very private - experiences of concentration camp life and suggests that the notion of elegance operated as a social construct and a motivating force even in such punishing conditions. The book proves that the multifaceted functions of dress can remain relevant - and vitally important - even in the most appalling and inhumane conditions and times. Focussing on prisoner clothing in the Auschwitz concentration camp, Dress in Auschwitz examines clothing's profound importance to the inmates' physical, psychological, and spiritual survival, through primary sources and survivors experiences.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Costume is an active agent for performance-making; it is a material object that embodies ideas shaped through collaborative creative work. A new focus in recent years on research in the area of costume has connected this practice in vital and new ways with theories of the body and embodiment, des…ign practices, artistic and other forms of collaboration. Costume, like fashion and dress, is now viewed as an area of dynamic social significance and not simply as passive reflector of a pre-conceived social state or practice. This book offers new approaches to the study of costume, as well as fresh insights into the better-understood frames of historical, theoretical, practice-based and archival research into costume for performance.This anthology draws on the experience of a global group of established researchers as well as emerging voices. Below is a list of just some of the things it achieves:1. Introduces diverse perspectives, innovative new research methods and approaches for researching design and the costumed body in performance.2. Contributes towards a new understanding of how costume actually performs in time and space.3. Offers new insights into existing practices, as well as creating a space of connection between practitioners and researchers from design, the humanities and social sciences. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
