This book is the first critical examination of the erotically charged relationship between the surface of the skin and the touch of cloth, exploring the ways in which textiles can seduce, conceal and reveal through their interactions with the body. From the beautiful cloth which is quietly suggestive, to bold expressions of deviant sexuality, cloth is a message carrier for both desiring and being desired. The drape, fold, touch and feel, the sound and look of cloth in motion, allow for the exploration of identity as a sensual, gendered or political experience. The book features contributions on the sensory rustle and drape of silk taffeta and the secret pleasures of embroidery, on fetishistic punk street-style and homoerotic intimacy in men's shirts on screen, and a new perspective on the role of cloth and skin in the classic film Blade Runner. In doing so, it interrogates experiences of cloth within social, historical, psychological and cultural contexts.0. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Touch $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Textile fabrics $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress $x Erotic aspects. 700 1 $a Millar, Lesley, $e editor. 700 1 $a Kettle, Alice, $d 1961- $e editor. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213015635.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180605013742.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E136D4D4370411E887D7D95B97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
