Abstract

The volume Jugend, Mode, Geschlecht. Die Inszenierung des Körpers in der Konsumkultur is the result of qualitative field studies, which were conducted by students within the framework of an “interdisciplinary seminar with the titel ‘Youth Fashion and the Construction of Gender’ of the Faculty for Educational Studies at the University of Cologne” (p. 221). The children and youth who were interviewed belong to “mainstream” youth, and not to specific youth groups. The book is divided into four thematical chapters: “S-HE Mades”, “Angezogen: Fashion Mades”, “Anverleibt: Body Mades” und “Angesehen: Media Mades”. The volume concludes with a theoretically oriented chapter that consists of contributions from scientists who work in the fields of youth culture, fashion design, gender research and cultural studies.
