Book Description
"A magnificent volume! It offers brand new perspectives on body politics and identity or subjectivity formation in the post-colonial world." -- Dorothy Ko, Barnard College While there is widespread interest in dress and hygiene as vehicles of cultural, moral, and political value, little scholarly attention has been paid to cross-cultural understandings of dirt and undress, despite their equally important role in the fashioning of identity and difference. The essays in this absorbing and thought-provoking collection contribute new insights into the neglected topics of bodily treatments and transgressions. In detailed ethnographic studies from around the world, the contributors recast assumptions about filth and nakedness, exploring how various forms of transgression associated with the body's surface are drawn up into relations of power and inequality. They demonstrate imaginatively how body surfaces are powerfully mobilized in the making and unmaking of moral worlds.

Book Description
The History of Men’s Underwear and Swimwear features a detailed, thoroughly illustrated chronology of the development and changing styles of these two “bare necessities” of masculine dress. Interwoven throughout the study is also an examination of how these most intimate forms of men’s clothing not only reflected society but also how the evolution of styles inexorably influenced social change, especially notions of masculinity, modesty, and erotic exhibitionism. In addition, Daniel Delis Hill looks at more than 100 years of the mass marketing of men’s underwear and swimwear, especially the progression of visual presentation and the written message in the era of mass production and mass communication. Cover to cover, the second edition of History of Men’s Underwear and Swimwear is richly illustrated in color throughout with over 200 period photos and artwork, many never published before.
