This collection of interdisciplinary essays will trace the historical trajectory of the production, circulation, and consumption of Muslim femininity and fashion from early modernity to the era of transnational globalization. The essays will collectively work through the politics of zenana (feminine) fashion, to unravel how dress and appearance have historically constituted complex, embodied performances of Muslim feminine identity and community in the global arena. <\/p>\n
Our goal is to investigate the aesthetic and political impact of discourses of modernity in the fashioning of Muslim womens bodies, dress, and lives in multiple geographical sites from the early modern period through the post-9\/11 era. The editors are especially interested in essays that theorize fashion in new, innovative ways so as to complicate traditional accounts of the harem, seraglio, and zenana as secluded spaces harboring communities frozen in time. The editors welcome scholarly contributions from a broad spectrum of disciplines (such as literature, film, history, religion, anthropology, gender studies, and art history, etc) and addressing topics including (but not limited to):
\n\u2022 Censorship and Iranian Cinema
\n\u2022 Bollywood Aesthetics
\n\u2022 Performance Traditions in Islamic Cultures
\n\u2022 Theatre and Empire
\n\u2022 Memoirs, Letters, and Autobiographies
\n\u2022 Orientalism and Travel Writings
\n\u2022 Graphic Novels and Comics
\n\u2022 Art and Visual Culture
\n\u2022 Architectural Spaces and Everyday Life
\n\u2022 Representations of Harems and Seraglios
\n\u2022 Weddings and other Ritual Ceremonies
\n\u2022 The Glamour Industry and Consumer Capitalism
\n\u2022 Cross Dressing and Border Crossings
\n\u2022 Power Dressing and Politics
\n\u2022 Veils and Headscarves in Public Discourse
\n\u2022 Citizenship and Civil Society
