More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
"Fabrics of Desire" is concerned with a critical examination of the relationships between textiles, sexual anatomy, and sexual practices. Its key argument is that textiles have very particular relationship with the body's 'zones of sexual intimacy' and its operation as 'gendered in culture'. The book proposes a playful, sexy, and provocative approach to the subject-matter in a series of chapters looking at, for example, furry fetishes; gay's men's handkerchiefs; virginal sheets, and bifurcated bloomers! This book is aimed at textile scholars and practitioners who are interested in the key relationship of textiles within wider human culture, as well as scholars of fashion, gender and sexuality studies, anthropology, sociology and literary criticism.
