Art and fine wine
This paper examines the reasons for the increasing association between art and fine wine in recent times. It argues that this convergence is part of a wider phenomenon where art has increasingly been employed to market ‘lifestyle’ commodities such as fashion and haute cuisine, and explains this with reference to the increased importance placed on aesthetics in the process of consumption in postmodern culture. In this context, art serves as an apt…
The Contemporary Significance of 'Pauperist' Style
A prominent feature of contemporary fashion has been the mainstreaming of 'pauperist' style in which motifs of poverty such as worn materials and frayed hems are deliberately sought after as a new form of glamour. What began as an act of rebellion amongst youth subcultures of the 1960s and '70s has now become a widespread phenomenon. As will be argued in this paper, poverty chic has become a new form of status distinction that disavows its extrav…
Ornament and the feminine
While ornament during the period of modernism was much maligned as inessential, superficial, deceptive and irrational, it has been rehabilitated by a number of feminist theorists in recent times such as Norma Broude and Naomi Schor. In their defence of ornament, these theorists have exposed the derogation of the feminine implicit in the devaluation of ornament, which has traditionally been conceived as a feminine domain. Yet this feminist espousa…
Art and philosophy
Ever since the time of Hegel, there has been a growing philosophization of art in which artists increasingly make works where visual/formal concerns are supplanted by philosophical questions concerning the definition of art itself. At the same time, however, an equally vociferous defence of art against its subsumption by philosophy has been made by theorists such as Nietzsche, Sontag and Barthes who have sought to rescue the sensuous immediacy of…
Cosmetic Surgery and the Eclipse of Identity
Recently, there has been a shift in attitude among some feminists towards the practice of cosmetic surgery away from that of outright rejection. Kathy Davis, for instance, offers a guarded `defence' of the practice as a strategy that enables women to exercise a degree of control over their lives in circumstances where there are very few other opportunities for self-realization. Others, such as Kathryn Morgan, Anne Balsamo and Orlan, though highly…
Cosmetics and the female body
Recently, there has emerged a new paradigm, informed by poststructuralist theory, for the appraisal of cosmetics. According to this approach, earlier critiques of cosmetics have been based on a mistaken premise that there exists a 'true' self independent of the masks one assumes when, in fact, the self is constituted by these very masks. Thus, in contrast to previous critics who proposed a return to the 'natural' body, these recent theorists advo…

The Self as Image
This article involves a critical examination of the recent paradigm shift in the appraisal of women's dress. Whereas in the past, female fashion was criticized primarily in terms of its impractical and restrictive nature and more 'functional' and 'natural' modes of dress were advocated, in recent times the legitimacy of the notion of 'functional' or 'natural' dress has been challenged. As theorists such as Wilson, Sawchuck and Hollander have poin…
