Hb ISBN 978-0-300-13694-4 £19.99* From its origins in the eighteenth-century literature of terror to its contemporary manifestations in vampire fiction, cinema and art, the gothic has embraced the powers of horror and the erotic macabre. ‘Gothic’ is an epithet with a strange history—evoking images of death, destruction and decay. Ironically, its negative connotations have made the gothic an ideal symbol of rebellion for a wide range of cultural outsiders. Popularly associated with black-clad teenagers and rock musicians, gothic fashion encompasses not only subcultural styles (from old- school goth to cyber-goth and beyond) but also high fashion by such designers as Alexander McQueen, John Galliano of Christian Dior, Rick Owens, Olivier Theyskens and Yohji Yamamoto. As the text and lavish illustrations in this book suggest, gothic fashion has deep cultural roots that give it an enduring potency. Published in association with The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology Superheroes Fashion and Fantasy Andrew Bolton With an essay by Michael Chabon 2008 160pp. 300 colour illus. Hb ISBN 978-0-300-13670-8 £30.00* From Wonder Woman’s satin stars and golden bracelets to Batman’s brooding cape and mask, the style of superheroes’ dress has influenced both street wear and high fashion. This richly illustrated book explores how radical couture, avant-garde sportswear and state-of-the-art military garments—as seen through the lens of the superhero—can be metaphors for sex, power and politics. Beginning with the origins of the superhero costume, this volume looks at how designers have been influenced by iconographic components such as the cape, mask, boots and unitard. Costumes, such as those worn by Batman and Catwoman, are examined as reflections of sexual and physical prowess, while others, most notably those of Superman and Captain America, are analysed as political propaganda.

Hb ISBN 978-0-300-13692-0 £35.00* While the classically inspired ‘Grecian’ gown designed by Madame Alix Grès is widely recognised and admired, little else of the brilliant couturier’s life or work has received close attention. This book, by far the most detailed study yet published on this influential fashion designer, carefully analyses Madame Grès’ innovative construction techniques and connects her designs to the art styles and movements that inspired and informed her aesthetic. “Mears brings to her subject a genuine appreciation for the engineering that formed the basis of Grès’s innovation and for her tenacious, obsessive pursuit of custom techniques that were inherently uncommercial, severely curtailing the expansion of her business empire.” —Holly Brubach, New York Times, Style Magazine Poiret Harold Koda and Andrew Bolton With an introduction by Nancy J. Troy Contributions by Caroline Evans, Heather Hess, Jared Goss and Caroline Milbank 2007 224pp. 195 colour illus. Hb ISBN 978-0-300-12029-5 £29.99* In the annals of fashion history, French couturier Paul Poiret is known for liberating women from corsets and introducing pantaloons for women. However, it is Poiret’s innovations in the cut and construction of clothing, made all the more remarkable by the fact that he could not sew, that secures his legacy. This essential book is the first to explore Poiret’s radical modernity from a number of perspectives. Essays by renowned scholars describe the historical context of his work; its relation to the dominant artistic discourses of the early twentieth century; his muse, Denise Poiret, and her influence on his work; and his role in the paradigmatic shift to a new ideal of feminine beauty. “destined to become a collectors item”—Richard Edmonds, Birmingham Post Published in association with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Fashion Brochure 2008:Fashion 2008 22/10/08 15:25 Page 10 fashiondesigners Chanel Balenciaga Harold Koda and His Legacy and Andrew Bolton With contributions from Haute Couture from the Karl Lagerfeld Texas Fashion Collection Published in association with Myra Walker The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York Published in association with 2005 216pp. 166 colour illus.

Hb ISBN 978-0-300-14224-2 £40.00* Fabergé, Tiffany, Lalique—these great designers came together only once to display their goods in what was probably the most opulent exhibition ever mounted. At the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, the three strove to position themselves ahead of their many competitors in the luxury market, each presenting his jewellery and home adornments as high art. Their success is explored in this splendidly illustrated catalogue, which elucidates the prewar pinnacle of European culture. The array of displayed objects was mesmerising: Tiffany glass, Easter eggs to dazzle the Czars, realistic insects created in precious materials as sinister decorations. Many of these bore influences of the advanced art of the time, such as Art Nouveau, Viennese modernism and symbolism and of styles from around the world.

    ZfWT Vol. 9 No. 3 (2017) 269-288 FEMINIST READING OF GOTHIC SUBCULTURE: EMPOWERMENT, LIBERATION, REAPPROPRIATION Mikhail PUSHKIN∗ Abstract: Shifting in and out of public eye ever since its original appearance in the 1980ies, Gothic subculture, music and aesthetics in their impressive variety have become a prominent established element in global media, art and culture. However, understanding of their relation to female gender and expression of femininity remains ambiguous, strongly influenced by stereotypes. Current research critically analyses various distinct types of Gothic subculture from feminist angle, and positively identifies its environment as female-friendly and empowering despite and even with the help of its strongly sexualized aesthetics. Although visually geared towards the male gaze, Gothic subcultural environment enables women to harness, rather than repress the power of attraction generated by such aesthetics. Key words: Subculture, Feminism, Gothic. INTRODUCTION Without a doubt, Gothic subculture is a much-tattered subject, being at the centre of both popular mass media with its gossip, consumerism and commercialization, as well as academia with diverse papers debasing, pigeonholing and even defending the subculture. Furthermore, even within the defined, feminist, angle, a thorough analysis of Gothic subculture would require a volume of doctoral dissertation to give the topic justice. This leaves one in a position of either summarizing and reiterating earlier research (a useful endeavour, however, bringing no fresh insight), or striving for a kind of fresh look made possible by the ever-changing eclectic ambivalent nature of the subculture. Current research takes the middle ground approach: touching upon earlier research only where relevant, providing a very general, yet necessary outlook on the contemporary Gothic subculture in its diversity, so as to elucidate its more relevant elements whilst focusing on the ways in which it empowers women.

  • Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic
    139 Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic Catherine Spooner Sandra Mills, University of Hull London: Bloomsbury, 2017 ISBN: 9781441101211, 213pp. £21.99 Don’t judge a book by its cover, or so the old adage goes; when it comes to Catherine Spooner’s most recent publication, Post-Millennial Gothic: Comedy, Romance and the Rise of Happy Gothic, though, it is hard not to. The eye-catching cover, with whimsically macabre illustrations created by artist Alice Marwick, features an array of familiar contemporary Gothic figures; the Twilight (2008-2012) saga’s Edward and Bella, Tim Burton’s Mad Hatter, and The Mighty Boosh (2003-2007) logo all feature alongside more traditional iconography of the genre: bats, dolls, ravens, roses, and skulls. Spooner is a respected authority on the Gothic and has, over the years, published extensively on the genre across two monographs: Fashioning Gothic Bodies (2004) and Contemporary Gothic (2006), countless chapters, articles, edited collections, and exhibition catalogues. Post-Millennial Gothic is a welcome addition to this growing collection. Post-Millennial Gothic charts the pervasive spread of the Gothic in post-millennial culture, showing that contemporary Gothic is often humorous, romantic, and increasingly, as Spooner deftly demonstrates, happy. Spooner surveys an eclectically comprehensive mix of narratives from iconic Gothic texts: Frankenstein (1818), Wuthering Heights (1847), Dracula (1897); to more recent cult films: The Breakfast Club (1985), The Lost Boys (1987), Edward Scissorhands (1990); serialized sitcoms: The IT Crowd (2006-2013), The Big Bang Theory (2007-), Being Human (2011-2014); supernatural series: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1996- 2003), Supernatural (2005-), True Blood (2008-2014); and makeover shows: Grand Designs (1999-), Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (2003-2007), Snog Marry Avoid (2008-2013).

    Page 129 EVENTS REVIEW The D ark Glamour o f Neo­Victorian Gothic Gothic: Dark Glamour Exhibit, curated by Valerie Steele New York Fashion Institute of Technology, 5 September 2008 ­ 21 February 2009 “Your mind is in disturbia” sang the reigning princess of R&B music, Rihanna, as she opened the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards on September 7th. Clothed in high­fashion black leather and feather bondage gear, she and an entourage of back­up dancers miming zombies gyrated around the stage as she asked seductively, “Am I scaring you tonight?” If the performance, which resurrected Michael Jacksons’s Thriller with a touch of S&M, frightened the audience it was with no more than a pleasantly titillating thrill as Rihanna’s macabre Gothic­inspired musical opening effectively upstaged the return of Britney Spears and kept more than 8.4 million viewers riveted to the screen. MTV, perennial source of all things trendy, used its opening entertainment as a clever marketing tool, for Rihanna’s performance responded to the Gothic vampire craze present in contemporary youth culture, particularly the culture of adolescent girls. The popularity of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series of fantasy novels has positioned the author as the J.K. Rowling of “tweens” and teens. Twilight, first book in the series, sold over 1.5 million copies, and the final installment, Breaking Dawn , sold 1.3 million within 24 hours of its release. Not coincidentally, a movie adaptation of Twilight opens in November. Even HBO, a network with programming geared more toward adults, has staked (pun intended) its claim to vampire narratives, premiering this Fall its drama True Blood , based on a series of Southern vampire mysteries by Charlaine Harris.

  • Introduction
    Introduction othic as we know it today is a term that is both hybrid and hybrid- Gising, simultaneously morphing to refer to an increasingly wider span of new cultural productions whilst also continuously expanding retrospectively to appropriate more materials from the past. Gothic as a genre has become more amorphous and difficult to contain. As Fred Botting has written: ‘The diffusion of Gothic forms and figures […] makes the definition of a homogenous generic category very difficult’ (Botting, 1996: 9). Though the first burgeoning of Gothic novels is easy to locate chronologi- cally, the Gothic leaches acquisitively backwards and forwards in time whilst also crossing generic borders. For example, David R. Castillo writes of Julián de Medrano’s La Silva Curiosa / The Strange Wood, published in 1583, nearly two centuries before the first commonly accepted date for the appearance of Gothic writing: ‘The story has all ingredients of a full-blown gothic fantasy: Faustian motives, visions of damnation, voices from the dead, restless corpses […] as is so often the case in classic gothic fiction beginning with Horace Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto (1764), this is ultimately a story about the crushing weight of the past’ (Castillo, 2010: 69). If critics have started to note the proleptic nature of early modern literature in terms of anticipating the Gothic, theoret- ical descriptions of the ‘domestic Gothic’ of the 1860s onwards and the late Victorian Gothic of the 1890s have helped give weight to Richard J. Hand’s confident instatement of German Expressionism within the area of Gothic influence (Hand, 2013: 271). The primacy of Bram Stoker’s vampire novel for F.

  • The Gothic As a Practice, by TGS Jones
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by ResearchArchive at Victoria University of Wellington THE GOTHIC AS A PRACTICE: Gothic Studies, Genre and the Twentieth Century Gothic by Timothy Graham Stanford Jones A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Victoria University of Wellington 2010 ABSTRACT Gothic studies, the specialist academic field that explores the Gothic text, has developed substantially over the last twenty-five years. The field often frames the Gothic as a serious literature, involved in historic discourse, and having special psychological acuity; this thesis suggests that there are a number of problems with these argumentative strategies, and that the academy now makes claims for the Gothic that are discontinuous with how this popular genre is understood by most readers. While Gothic studies is the study of a genre, curiously, it has seldom engaged with theorisations of genre. Nevertheless, an understanding of what genre is, and how it alters reading practice, is crucial to understanding the Gothic text. This thesis attempts to reconcile and develop a number of disparate approaches to genre through Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of habitus. It argues that genre is not a set of textual conventions but a group of procedures that facilitate and modify both writing and reading practices. Consequently, genres like the Gothic should be seen as discrete historicised phenomena, which retain a cohesive practical sense of how they ought to be performed before they hold discursive properties. Rather than arguing for the literary value of the Gothic, this thesis understands the genre as a popular practice.

    © Ryan V. Stewart, 2018–present | CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 ARTpublika Magazine: Volume V Submission (Ryan V. Stewart) | 1 ​ Goth Fashion: From Batcave to Darkwave and Beyond By Ryan V. Stewart “Goth”: A phrase which, for many of us, conjures up stereotypical images of pitch black-clad and pale figures, of eerily quiet teenagers seemingly dressed for Halloween year-round; and, perhaps for the more historically-inclined among us, a collection of Germanic tribes whose clashes with the Roman Empire represent some of the most crucial turning points in history. Of course, the former—the cliched idea of teens or young adults who take part in a dreary ​ and doom-laden clique, more likely frequenters of rain-drenched cemeteries, or abandoned and ​ cobwebbed Victorian manors, than varsity athletes or high-rolling yuppies—does have some ​ merit to it: They say that stereotypes are based on at least a kernel of truth, after all. But as much as “goth” is a recognizable term throughout most of the Western world—where counterculture has been, and continues to be, a visible aspect of our ​ societies—it’s also one which, as we near the 2020s, is fairly dated: Though rooted in the late © Ryan V.
