  • Dressing in American Telefantasy
    Volume 5, Issue 2 September 2012 Stripping the Body in Contemporary Popular Media: the value of (un)dressing in American Telefantasy MANJREE KHAJANCHI, Independent Researcher ABSTRACT Research perspectives on identity and the relationship between dress and body have been frequently studied in recent years (Eicher and Roach-Higgins, 1992; Roach-Higgins and Eicher, 1992; Entwistle, 2003; Svendsen, 2006). This paper will make use of specific and detailed examples from the television programmes Once Upon a Time (2011- ), Falling Skies (2011- ), Fringe (2008- ) and Game of Thrones (2011- ) to discover the importance of dressing and accessorizing characters to create humanistic identities in Science Fiction and Fantastical universes. These shows are prime case studies of how the literal dressing and undressing of the body, as well as the aesthetic creation of television worlds (using dress as metaphor), influence perceptions of personhood within popular media programming. These four shows will be used to examine three themes in this paper: (1) dress and identity, (2) body and world transformations, and (3) (non-)humanness. The methodological framework of this article draws upon existing academic literature on dress and society, combined with textual analysis of the aforementioned Telefantasy shows, focussing primarily on the three themes previously mentioned. This article reveals the role transformations of the body and/or the world play in American Telefantasy, and also investigates how human and near-human characters and settings are fashioned. This will invariably raise questions about what it means to be human, what constitutes belonging to society, and the connection that dress has to both of these concepts. KEYWORDS Aesthetics, Body, Dress, Falling Skies, Fringe, Game of Thrones, Identity, Once Upon a Time, Telefantasy.

Luoghi, viaggi, identità nei romanzi di Janet Frame Presentata da Andrea Gorini Coordinatore Dottorato Relatore Prof.ssa Silvia Albertazzi Prof. Franco Minganti Esame finale anno 2010 Fino a quando l'opera sarà “opera di”, allora sarà anche “opera a” e “opera per”. Ma arriverà il tempo dell'altro-dall'opera in cui l'opera cancellerà i suoi “di”, i suoi “a” e i suoi “per” lasciando forse, al più, le tracce di un'“opera con”. Quel tempo sarà già arrivato mentre gli facciamo spazio con la nostra opera. Alla mia famiglia.
