Sledge Dissertation READING FASHIONS, FASHIONING READINGS: GENRE, STYLE, AND SARTORIAL SEMIOTICS IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN LITERATURE Rosa Arrington Heath Sledge A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English and Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2015 Approved by: Jane F. Thrailkill John McGowan Matthew A. Taylor Eliza Richards Jane Danielewicz ©2015 Rosa Arrington Heath Sledge ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Rosa Arrington Heath Sledge: Reading Fashions, Fashioning Readings: Genre, Style, and Sartorial Semiotics in Nineteenth-century American Literature (Under the direction of Jane F. Thrailkill and John McGowan) We are nothing without clothes, and American novelists of the nineteenth century, with their careful attention to hats, trains, ruffles, corsets, and shoes, know it. This dissertation examines the ways in which, at the tumultuous end of the nineteenth century, two kinds of reading—the reading of dress and the reading of novels — affect one another. As America becomes increasingly urbanized, and as advances in manufacturing (sewing machines, commercially- available sewing patterns) and marketing (the rise of the department store and the mail-order catalog) change the fashion industry, Americans read dress differently. This change in readership also changes the late-century novel: naturalism and realism, which emerge in response to midcentury domestic sentimentalism and revise both its stylistic and philosophical tenets, show an increasing reliance on their reader’s active interpretation of texts. A close examination of the works of Theodore Dreiser and of Henry James, alongside contemporary theories of acting, of psychology, of philosophy, and of semiotics, offers a re-evaluation for the modern critic of the role that clothes (and other types of self-representations) play in the development of identity. For James, the problem of the self is to externalize itself (by dressing itself) in such a way as to invite proper readings of that self. This is a problem of readership: how can one ensure that his utterances—fashionable or literary—are properly read? For Dreiser the self does not exist until it creates itself—a problem of authorship. iii James and Dreiser both work through two different sets of related questions in these novels: the relation of dress to self, and the relation of performance to performativity, both variations on the central question of the nineteenth century: what is the relationship of representation to the real? These novels, like dress, invite the active, subjective, distanced, materially-aware, and contingent kind of reading that I will call pragmatic: just as there is no fashion that remains eternally in style, so there is no single reading or representation that fully captures reality —nor should there be. iv To Robert, because you put up with an absent wife for so long—and because I couldn’t have finished without you. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS So many people have helped me! Thanks to Jane for your infinite patience, for teaching me how to write, and for showing me I could finish despite having a baby in the middle of grad school. John is a most encouraging and pragmatic critic; thanks to him for lighting a fire under my butt and telling me I was finished. I’m the last one of our writing group to finish, so many thanks to Lauren Garrett, Katie Shrieves, Kate Atkisson, and Ben Sammons for reading so many incomprehensible drafts, and for their generosity with time, laughs, intellectual support, and margaritas when necessary. Thanks to my dad, for reading drafts of dreck all my life and teaching me that reading, writing, and thinking mattered, and to my mom, sister, and brother for keeping me (relatively) sane and normal throughout this process. My UNC students deserve thanks; they proved to me that one can learn to write all over again—a very encouraging lesson. Tommy Nixon helped me track down so many references. Thanks to Ben Bolling for all the kikis in the library that gave me life when I thought maybe dying might be preferable to finishing. Thanks to Ashley Reed for snarking and cheerleading in equal measures. Thanks to the McElroys (Magnus, Taako, Merle, and Griffin) for increasing the world’s stock of “harmless cheerfulness” and for getting me through the final push. And most thanks to Robert, for keeping everything going while I did this, and to Archie, for continually reminding me that there’s life after graduate school. (I promised I’d learn to play Minecraft once I finished!) vi TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .......................................................................................................................... 1 CHAPTER 1: REPRESENTING REALITY OR FASHIONING REALITY?

  • What to Do When Your Child Refuses to Put on Winter Clothes
    www.autism-mi.org 40th Anniversary 1976-2016 email: [email protected] Autism Society of Michigan 2178 Commons Pky Okemos, MI 48864 517-882-2800 What to Do When Your Child Refuses to Put on Winter Clothes Many people—kids and adults—find putting on winter clothes to be a pain. But sensory processing issues can make it a real misery. Kids who are hypersensitive or who are tactile defensive may literally scream if they put on clothes that don’t feel right. The clothes might be too tight, too bulky, too itchy or too hot. And that can make everyday life difficult for the whole family. Getting your child with sensory processing issues to wear winter clothes isn’t impossible. But it can take time, compromise and some creativity. The strategies you use will depend on your child’s age and his particular challenges and sensitivities. But giving him choices and some sense of control is key. Here are some tips to consider: Buy sweaters and sweatshirts with loose collars. (If your child prefers his clothes to be close to his skin, do the opposite and get tighter-fitting items or even turtlenecks.) Settle on hoodies instead of a coat. Hooded sweatshirts are a great compromise item because they can be layered over T-shirts and worn unzipped. If your child doesn’t mind warmth or weight, buy some extra-fleecy ones. Remove all tags. That goes for hats, mittens, scarves, sweaters—coats, too. Even if a tag is touching a layer of clothing rather than skin, it can be annoying to some kids.

  • Business Professional Dress Code
    Business Professional Dress Code The way you dress can play a big role in your professional career. Part of the culture of a company is the dress code of its employees. Some companies prefer a business casual approach, while other companies require a business professional dress code. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR MEN Men should wear business suits if possible; however, blazers can be worn with dress slacks or nice khaki pants. Wearing a tie is a requirement for men in a business professional dress code. Sweaters worn with a shirt and tie are an option as well. BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE FOR WOMEN Women should wear business suits or skirt-and-blouse combinations. Women adhering to the business professional dress code can wear slacks, shirts and other formal combinations. Women dressing for a business professional dress code should try to be conservative. Revealing clothing should be avoided, and body art should be covered. Jewelry should be conservative and tasteful. COLORS AND FOOTWEAR When choosing color schemes for your business professional wardrobe, it's advisable to stay conservative. Wear "power" colors such as black, navy, dark gray and earth tones. Avoid bright colors that attract attention. Men should wear dark‐colored dress shoes. Women can wear heels or flats. Women should avoid open‐toe shoes and strapless shoes that expose the heel of the foot. GOOD HYGIENE Always practice good hygiene. For men adhering to a business professional dress code, this means good grooming habits. Facial hair should be either shaved off or well groomed. Clothing should be neat and always pressed.

  • MS Dress Code 2021-2022
    Webb School of Knoxville Code of Dress & Appearance Middle School, 2021-2022 The Webb Middle School uniform allows students to dress neatly and comfortably for the activities in which they engage during a normal school day. All students are expected to be in school uniform every day. We hope the student uniform will help diminish the sartorial competition and peer pressure that is frequent among younger adolescents. Webb’s Middle School is a place where students should be confident that they are accepted for their character and personality, not for what they wear. Special Update for 2021-2022: The formerly instituted formal dress uniform requirement for Middle School is suspended for this school year. Please see below for this year’s Code of Dress & Appearance. All uniform shirts must be purchased from the following providers: Educational Outfitters <http://knoxville.educationaloutfitters.com/find-my-school/webb-school-of-knoxville/> Tommy Hilfiger <http://www.globalschoolwear.com> Lands’ End <https://www.landsend.com/shop/school/S-ytp-xe8?cm_re=lec-_-global-_-glbnv-school-_- 20160525-_-txt> Shirts, pants, skorts, skirts, and shorts also must be purchased from Educational Outfitters, Tommy Hilfiger, or Lands' End. Approved items are located on the Hilfiger site under the Middle School menu; Educational Outfitters has a list of all approved Middle School uniform items. When purchasing uniform items, please consider that your child will probably grow during the school year. This is especially important for eighth graders, who sometimes have to purchase new clothing to meet the dress code with only a few months remaining in the Middle School.

  • How to Build up Your Professional Wardrobe
    How to Build Up Your Professional Wardrobe Written by Cooke Scholar Emily Zaretzky Sometimes the question ‘What should I wear?’ weighs more heavily than others. For situations that surround your career, clothing is an important part in portraying yourself. With so many options of what to wear, how do you even start building a wardrobe that can help you during your career? Start with the basics. A two-piece pant or skirt-suit is the most essential basic for all genders; men should also have a nice tie or bowtie on hand as well. The classic jacket and pants combo provides a set that can be tailored for almost every business occasion; if the situation is more casual, the jacket doesn’t have to be worn. To pair with the suit, a few solid color blouses or button- downs should be added to provide more options. A pair of khakis or trousers can be added to provide even more versatility. A nice pair of stylish and comfortable dress shoes should be added to the mix. What makes these basic pieces essential is their ability to be worn in almost every occasion. It is important to buy basic pieces with great quality, fit, and color. The basics should be thought of as an investment; and remember, quality ensures that the pieces will last a long time and can be relied on. The fit should be appropriate; too tight and it can look unprofessional, but too big could look sloppy. Colors should be neutral. Blacks, navy blues, and greys are always good to have around because they can be paired with almost anything.
