GARMENT GEOGRAPH: FROM CLASSICS TO TRENDS - DOI 10.5216/bgg.v35i2.37427

Abstract

Initially, garments serve in this paper as objects of geographical investigation which pervade classical works, generally under the concept perspective of the way of life or the man-environment relation, as well as contemporary studies about the clothing industries. In this article, however, garments are also used as a theme and as a perspective to address the constitution of spatialities at home and on the street. In other words, the language of garments is shown as tools that enable us to understand certain spatialities. In addition, it is demonstrated that the garments themselves represent a concept that defines space and time.

Key words: garments, home, street, spatiality.
