How are relationships to clothing produced and maintained through the embodied practices of wearing, maintenance and repair? Through a focus upon a single garment, the shoe, this book calls on readers to reconsider the value of the marks of wear at a time when fast fashion reigns supreme and interest in damaged, or worn, garments quietly increases. Bringing together anthropological and psychoanalytic theory with practices of handmaking, wearing, and photography, this book asks what is the embodied experience of wearing and the affect of the worn? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeautifully illustrated in full color throughout, \u003ci\u003eWorn \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to focus exclusively on the significance of imperfect garments as important aspects of our material world and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Sampson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350294543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350294547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Visual Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 7.40w x 0.71d","brand":"Ellen Sampson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993245286655,"sku":"9781350294547","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d4d8b00-25a5-4d86-8be1-ca6bab9bc088.jpg?v=1683323319","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worn-ellen-sampson-9781350294547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
