  • Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture
    Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture By Xiaoyu Elena Wang A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Professor Shannon C. Stimson Professor Ramona Naddaff Professor Julia Q. Bryan-Wilson Spring 2015 Abstract Model Commodities: Gender and Value in Contemporary Couture by Xiaoyu Elena Wang Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Wendy L. Brown, Chair Every January and June, the most exclusive and influential sector of the global apparel industry stages a series of runway shows in the high fashion, or, couture capitals of New York, Milan, London and Paris. This dissertation explores the production of material goods and cultural ideals in contemporary couture, drawing on scholarly and anecdotal accounts of the business of couture clothes as well as the business of couture models to understand the disquieting success of marketing luxury goods through bodies that appear to signify both extreme wealth and extreme privation. This dissertation argues that the contemporary couture industry idealizes a mode of violence that is unique in couture’s history. The industry’s shift of emphasis toward the mass market in the late 20th-century entailed divestments in the integrity of garment production and modeling employment. Contemporary couture clothes and models are promoted as high-value objects, belying however a material impoverishment that can be read from the models’ physiques and miens. 1 Table of Contents I.

It is the ASHLEY MEARS New York University counterpoint to WILLIAM FINLAY University of Georgia working in an industry in which bodily capital is valued so highly.” ASHLEY MEARS is a doctoral student in the Depart- ment of Sociology at New York University. Her inter- ests center on gender, sexuality, body, and beauty. She is currently conducting ethnographic research for her dissertation on constructions of femininity and mascu- linity in the New York City modeling industry. WILLIAM FINLAY is a professor of sociology and department head at the University of Georgia. He is the coauthor of Headhunters: Matchmaking in the Labor Market (Cornell 2002). His current research, in collaboration with James E. Coverdill, is on the train- ing and professional socialization of surgeons. Journal of Contemporary Ethnography, Vol. 34 No. 3, June 2005 317-343 DOI: 10.1177/0891241605274559 © 2005 Sage Publications 317 Downloaded from http://jce.sagepub.com at University of Birmingham on March 9, 2009 318 JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY ETHNOGRAPHY / JUNE 2005 Modeling is a challenging occupation because employment is irregular, the physical demands are great, and competition is fierce. Success as a model requires the careful management of bodily capital and the perfor- mance of emotional labor. Drawing on participant observations and interviews with models in the Atlanta fashion industry, the authors examine how they do the former and why they do the latter.They manage their bodily capital by subjecting themselves to intense self-regulation.

Hogan: Cultural Creolization, Optimism, and National Identity in <em>Pao</em> While scholars have long considered Caribbean nations as mixed, blended, and multicultural societies, acknowledging the role of many different ethnic, national, and racial groups in the formation and ongoing lives of these societies, the Chinese Caribbean community has received comparatively less attention than the Afro- or Indo-Caribbean ones. Yet many Caribbean countries experienced significant Chinese migration. Beginning in the nineteenth century and through the twentieth century, thriving Chinese communities could be found in Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad, and other islands. The Chinese Jamaican community was both representative and unique: arriving in Jamaica at the end of the 1800s, Chinese immigrants established prosperous shops and other businesses throughout the island.

  • Examining Race in Jamaica: How Racial Category and Skin Color Structure Social Inequality
    Race and Social Problems https://doi.org/10.1007/s12552-020-09287-z Examining Race in Jamaica: How Racial Category and Skin Color Structure Social Inequality Monique D. A. Kelly1 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Jamaica’s social inequality is primarily held to be class-based due, in part, to the country’s perceived ethno-racial homoge- neity and to the particularities of its colonial past. However, whether “race” also systemically shapes inequality in Jamaica remains understudied. To address this empirical lacuna, I examine the efects of two measures of race—categorical race and skin color—on years of schooling and household amenities using data from the 2014 AmericasBarometer social survey. I fnd that access to household amenities and years of schooling are starkly structured by racial category, and even more robustly by skin color, across all dimensions. The fndings challenge long-held assumptions that marginalize race with regards to social inequality in Jamaica. They also suggest the importance of a multidimensional approach to studying the efects of race for understanding stratifcation dynamics in Jamaica. As an English-speaking, majority Afro-descent society in the Caribbean, the study’s fndings add a unique country case for comparison to Latin America and may also speak to other similar contexts in the region. Keywords Race · Skin color · Social inequality · Caribbean · Jamaica Inequality in the Anglo-Caribbean country of Jamaica is [We] are made up of…predominantly Negro or of substantial: about 20% of the population lives below the mixed blood, but also with large numbers of others, poverty line, while three-ffths of the country’s wealth is and nowhere in the world has more progress been held by only 10% of its population (World Bank 2013).

  • Chinese-Jamaican Women and Nationalist Aesthetics
    Amrita Bandopadhyay: Romancing Jamaica: Chinese-Jamaican Women and Nationalist Aesthetics ! Romancing Jamaica: Chinese-Jamaican Women and Nationalist Aesthetics Amrita Bandopadhyay PhD candidate in English University of Florida, Gainesville, USA 245 https://sta.uwi.edu/crgs/index.asp UWI IGDS CRGS Issue 12 ISSN 1995-1108 Abstract: My article examines depictions of Chinese women in Victor Chang’s stories (“A Summer’s Tale,” “Light in the Shop” and “Mr. Chin’s Property”), Kerry Young’s novel, Pao (2011), and Herbert de Lisser’s cultural and literary interwar magazine Planters’ Punch (1922-45) to argue that racial and socio-economic battles in colonial and post-independence Jamaica were waged on Chinese women. In official accounts of Jamaican history and culture, Chinese women are largely invisible and their significance has been set into relief by the works of Chinese-Caribbean writers like Kerry Young and Victor Chang. An important exception was the presence of Chinese women in Planters’ Punch, where de Lisser fashioned Chinese women as part of the myth of Jamaica as a lush tourist spot, thereby promoting the interests of the country’s multiethnic business class. Chang and Young contest this myth through inclusive fictional narratives that address racial and sexual violence wreaked upon Chinese women.
