Abstract

ABSTRACT At the turn of the twentieth century in Toronto, articles in local newspapers and magazines exposed women to disparate views on corsets. On one side of the argument were dress reformers who advised women to do away with corsetry for the sake of their health and wellbeing. On the other side, were fashion journalists who advised them about current styles, which often oscillated from year-to-year. Despite this disparity, corsets were an ever-present foundation of nineteenth century fashion, to the extent that they were a frequent, sexy addition to crime reporting. The exaggerated stories in the media subjected women to a tug-of-war over their body autonomy. This article is based on content analyses of periodicals and exposes how corsets were presented in Toronto periodicals such as The Toronto Star, The Globe, and The Canadian Dried Goods Review, among others.

“丑陋可亲”还是“形式之美”?:1871-1914年多伦多期刊上的Corsets
摘要二十世纪之交的多伦多,当地报纸和杂志上的文章让女性对紧身胸衣产生了不同的看法。争论的一方是服装改革者,他们建议女性为了健康和幸福而放弃紧身胸衣。另一方面,时尚记者为他们提供了关于当前风格的建议,这些风格往往每年都在波动。尽管存在这种差异,紧身胸衣是19世纪时尚的永恒基础,在某种程度上,它们是犯罪报告中经常出现的性感补充。媒体上夸张的报道使女性在身体自主性问题上陷入了一场拉锯战。本文基于对期刊内容的分析,揭示了紧身胸衣是如何在《多伦多星报》、《环球报》和《加拿大干货评论》等多伦多期刊上呈现的。
