Description

Review Bringing a new perspective to the well-known concept of ‘Orientalism,’ Geczy smashes the binary worlds of West and non-West … Providing compelling world examples, he pushes readers to question ideas of identity for individuals and cultures about what is fixed, fluid, and hybrid. ― Joanne B. Eicher, Editor-in-Chief, Berg Encyclopedia of World Dress and Fashion, and University of Minnesota, USAGeczy is adept at sweeping into his critical vision the many manoeuvres of contemporary theory as if they are weapons to blast structuralism’s straightjackets. This is a new voice that deconstructs the East/West binary in ways that return agency to those it othered. ― Ian McLean, University of Melbourne, AustraliaErudite, lucid, sensitive and eloquent, the depth of Transorientalism’s research is impressive … There have been many books on cultural formations and transnational aesthetics, but none like this. [An] essential resource and highly influential text. ― Melissa Chiu, Director of the Hirshhorn Museum, Washington, USA[Transorientalism in Art, Fashion, and Film] is a sensitive and informative account of expressions of culture and identity within fashion and the arts that exemplify transorientalism. As such, it offers an important contribution to the field of fashion studies and a useful guide to the convergence culture of our time. ― The Journal of Dress History Product Description Combining transnationalism and exoticism, transorientalism is the new orientalism of the age of globalization. With its roots in earlier times, it is a term that emphasizes alteration, mutation, and exchange between cultures. While the familiar orientalisms persist, transorientalism is a term that covers notions like the adoption of a hat from a different country for Turkish nationalist dress, the fact that an Italian could be one of the most influential directors in recent Chinese cinema, that Muslim women artists explore Islamic womanhood in non-Islamic countries, that artists can embrace both indigenous and non-indigenous identity at the same time. This is more than nostalgia or bland nationalism. It is a reflection of the effect that communication and representation in recent decades have brought to the way in which national identity is crafted and constructed-yet this does not make it any less authentic. The diversity of race and culture, the manner in which they are expressed and transacted, are most evident in art, fashion, and film. This much-needed book offers a refreshing, informed, and incisive account of a paradigm shift in the ways in which identity and otherness is moulded, perceived, and portrayed. About the Author Adam Geczy is an artist and writer, and teaches at Sydney College of the Arts, the University of Sydney, Australia. He is the author and co-author of numerous books, the most recent being The Artificial Body in Fashion and Art (Bloomsbury, 2017) and (with Vicki Karaminas) Critical Fashion Practice (Bloomsbury, 2017).
