This course addresses aspects of Spanish and European culture, based on the multidisciplinary study of attire and fashion from the perspectives of sociology, history, and art. This pluralistic viewpoint will serve as the framework from which to reflect on the social dynamics associated with clothing: the imitation or differentiation of the individual in social groups, economic inequalities and luxury, the construction of dress as it relates to social characteristics linked to gender, or the new paradigm of sustainable fashion. Limited enrollment.
