Clothing Cultures 10.1 is out now! Special Issue
Intellect is pleased to present Clothing Cultures 10.1!
Special Issue: ‘The Uniform: Symbols of Power, Propaganda and Organization in Popular Culture’
This Special Issue responds to a two-day symposium hosted by the Popular Culture Research Network at the University of New England on 20–21 April 2023. The symposium examined several ways wearing uniforms intersects with ideas of power, propaganda, organization, work, politics, education and lifestyle and how the uniform interacts with and sometimes frames – both positively and negatively – identity, class, gender, sexuality, nationalism, materiality and consumption. These concerns were further developed in response to geographical and cultural distinction, within daily life, and through representation across varied media platforms and genres.
