Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Design (Industrie, Grafik, Mode), Note: 1,7, Technische Universität Darmstadt (Humanwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Mode, Körper, Technik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit setze ich mich mit dem Thema der Technisierung des Körpers und dem damit einhergehenden Prothesenkörper auseinander. Dazu werde ich zunächst auf den Begriff des Körpers genauer eingehen. Wo liegen die Ursprünge dieses Begriffs, was bedeutet er und wie entwickelt sich das Bild des ¿Ideal-Körpers¿ im Laufe der Zeit? Aus diesem Grund lege ich auch die historische Entwicklung der Prothetik dar. Wo sind die Anfänge der Prothetik zu finden und wie veränderte sich das Einsatzgebiet, die Funktion und Verwendung für die Menschheit? Dadurch, dass die Wissenschaft immer weiter vorangetrieben wird, wird natürlich auch das Feld der Prothetik immer komplexer und fortschrittlicher. Mit dieser Entwicklung werden auch neue Fragen aufgeworfen. Wie viel Technisierung verträgt ein Mensch überhaupt? Ich möchte auch auf die Verschmelzung zwischen Körpergrenzen und der Prothese aufmerksam machen. Diese Verschmelzung macht es schwer festzustellen, ob es sich um einen Menschen handelt, oder um eine Maschine, den Cyborg.Außerdem stellt sich mir die Frage nach der Sinnhaftigkeit mancher Optionen, die sich dem menschlichen Körper bieten. So zum Beispiel die Transplantation eines bluetoothfähigen Geräts, das biometrische Daten an einen Computer sendet. Wann ist ein Mensch noch ein Mensch und wann hört er auf, durch implantierte Technik einer zu sein? Auf diese Frage werde ich wohl in dieser Hausarbeit keine richtige Antwort finden. Denn auch wenn jeder Mensch durch bestimmte Richtlinien normiert wird, will er doch auch immer einen gewissen Grad an Individualität beibehalten. So hat jeder Mensch, pauschal gesagt, eine eigene Äußerlichkeit, eine Seele und eine eigene Meinung.

America's Women tells the story of more than four centuries of history. It features a stunning array of personalities, from the women peering worriedly over the side of the Mayflower to feminists having a grand old time protesting beauty pageants and bridal fairs. Courageous, silly, funny, and heartbreaking, these women shaped the nation and our vision of what it means to be female in America.By culling the most fascinating characters -- the average as well as the celebrated -- Gail Collins, the editorial page editor at the New York Times, charts a journey that shows how women lived, what they cared about, and how they felt about marriage, sex, and work. She begins with the lost colony of Roanoke and the early southern "tobacco brides" who came looking for a husband and sometimes -- thanks to the stupendously high mortality rate -- wound up marrying their way through three or four. Spanning wars, the pioneering days, the fight for suffrage, the Depression, the era of Rosie the Riveter, the civil rights movement, and the feminist rebellion of the 1970s, America's Women describes the way women's lives were altered by dress fashions, medical advances, rules of hygiene, social theories about sex and courtship, and the ever-changing attitudes toward education, work, and politics. While keeping her eye on the big picture, Collins still notes that corsets and uncomfortable shoes mattered a lot, too."The history of American women is about the fight for freedom," Collins writes in her introduction, "but it's less a war against oppressive men than a struggle to straighten out the perpetually mixed message about women's roles that was accepted by almost everybody of both genders."Told chronologically through the compelling stories of individual lives that, linked together, provide a complete picture of the American woman's experience, America's Women is both a great read and a landmark work of history.

Raised in the ghetto, abandoned as a child, addicted to drugs and women all his life but still able to produce four consecutive #1 hip-hop albums in a row...this is the life and times of the darkest and most dangerously introspective hip-hop artist ever?at the height of his career and completely uncensored His real name is Earl Simmons. As a child he placed higher on tests than his fellow students, and liked to spend mornings with his mother and sisters playing games and making pancakes. But for young Earl?a boy growing up on the streets of Yonkers, New York?that kind of childhood didn't last long. Beatings, abuse, and neglect very soon had him moving on to other things, like robbing, stealing, drugs, and, eventually, jail. Along the way, however, he found a talent and a passion for rhyme. After 27 years of chaos, struggle, and survival, DMX became one of the biggest stories in contemporary music. But his character goes beyond that. He's also a father, a husband, and more important, someone who never gave up, and never stopped chasing his dreams. He has dedicated his life and his music to expressing the thoughts and feelings of those who have never been heard before?just as he was never heard as a child.

Everyone, it seems, is a fan of Audrey's. She was Gigi, a princess, Holly Golightly, a nun, Maid Marian, even an angel. And we believed her in every role. But Audrey Hepburn was also one of the most admired and emulated women of the twentieth century, who encouraged women to discover and highlight their own strength. By example, she not only changed the way women dress--she forever altered the way they viewed themselves.But Audrey Hepburn's beauty was more than skin deep. "You know the Audrey you saw onscreen? Audrey was like that in real life, only a million times better," says designer Jeffrey Banks. For the first time, this style biography reveals the details--fashion and otherwise--that contributed so greatly to Audrey's appeal. Drawing on original interviews with Hubert de Givenchy, Gregory Peck, Nancy Reagan, Doris Brynner, and Audrey Wilder, as well as reminiscences of professional friends like Steven Spielberg, Ralph Lauren, noted Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby, Steven Meisel, and Kevyn Aucoin, Audrey Style brings the Audrey her family and friends loved to life.With more than ninety color and black-and-white photographs, many of which have never before been published, and original designer sketches from Edith Head, Hubert de Givenchy, Vera Wang, Manolo Blahnik, Alexander McQueen, and others, Audrey Style gives measure to the grace, humor, intelligence, generosity, and inimitable fashion sense that was Audrey Hepburn.

For centuries, the creation of Jacquard cloth required the collaborative efforts of teams of designers and technicians working on vastly complex equipment. In the past three decades, developments in loom technology and CAD systems have made it possible for a single individual to design and produce this most challenging class of textiles. Digital Jacquard Design presents a comprehensive introduction to the creation of weave patterning in the era of digitally piloted looms. It offers both aesthetic and technical training for students of figured weaving, covering the Jacquard medium in fantastic breadth and depth. The book is an essential guide for all who create figured textiles with modern materials and tools, and provides the reader with a 'digital' key to access and employ the great textile traditions of the past.Digital Jacquard Design examines the design process from end to end, progressing from visual analysis, sample analysis and weave-drafting methods, to figuring techniques and the selection and building of weaves. It provides a guide to converting traditional drafts to digital polychrome format, a design terminology and a weave glossary. The book concludes with a rich set of case studies to demonstrate ingenious and effective weave and design solutions.

Björn Akstinat ist der Fotograf der Berliner Straßenmode. Er fotografiert keine Marken und keine Models, sondern echte Berlinerinnen und Berliner in ihrer Alltagskleidung. Angefangen hat alles mit einer Idee in einem Straßencafé in Spanien. Akstinat sah dort schick gekleidete Damen an sich vorübergehen. Außer ihm bemerkte kaum einer, wieviel Mühe sie sich mit ihrem Äußeren gegeben hatten. Er beschloss daraufhin, interessant gekleideten Menschen mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu widmen und diese wandelnden Kurzzeit-Kunstwerke fotografisch festzuhalten - nicht in Spanien, sondern in seiner Heimatstadt Berlin. Zurück in der deutschen Hauptstadt startete er die Internetseite www.schickaa.com, auf der er seit einigen Jahren seine stilvollen Mode-Schnappschüsse veröffentlicht. Der Name »schickaa« ist einerseits eine Anspielung auf die deutschen Begriffe »schick« bzw. »schicker« und andererseits auf das spanische Wort »chica« (Mädchen).Das vorliegende Buch folgt diesem Konzept und man kann hier nicht nur Bilder modischer Berliner bewundern, sondern findet auch Kurzporträts der Fotografierten. Wie es sich für eine Stadt mit internationalem Flair gehört, natürlich auf Deutsch und Englisch. Damit kombiniert dieses Buch Inhalte, die sonst auf Einzelprojekte wie z. B. »The Sartorialist« oder »Humans of New York« verteilt sind. Björn Akstinats außergewöhnliche Bilder stoßen immer wieder auf großes internationales Medienecho.
