Beskrivning

Fashion Narrative and Translation: Is Vanity Fair? combines comparative literature, fashion, and translation studies in their interactional roles. The integrated approach provides an innovative blended approach to comparative literature studies benefiting from growing fields of fashion and translation. Within the descriptive frame of fashion concepts and themes, the research furthers the analysis of multiple translations (English and Romance languages) to costume design in film adaptations, from page to screen. The eight chapters of the book are thematically structured raising crucial issues about language and literature in verbal and visual representation and questioning the translatability of the fashion lexicon and lexicography.

Recensioner i media

Quite possibly the most fascinating, comprehensive and erudite exploration of the lexicon of fashion to be compiled to date! Avoiding obfuscation, superficialities and the capricious nature of the subject, this tome lends gravitas and clarity, (as an authoritative study) covering the plurality, intercultural, historical, sociological, and ultimately the individualistic significance of what we tritely refer to as garments.
