This article is concerned with the changing significance of the veil in Turkey in the early years of the twentieth century. Its discussion of the political significance of women's dress in a period of accelerated social change is conducted through the analysis of two illustrated books, one by a visiting English feminist and one by a Turkish woman who writes about life in Turkey and her travels in Europe. In this way, the debate about the veil is examined through an analysis of cross-cultural dressing which takes into account the different significations of seclusionary mechanisms for women constructed as Oriental and as Occidental. The study engages with recent theories about cross-dressing and transgression but argues that such theories are often unthinkingly Eurocentric in their valorization of transgression. Its analysis of the photographs and written elements in its primary sources suggests that cross-cultural dressing is a practice unevenly open to differently racialized social subjects. To this end,...

A decade ago in France, debate over Muslim girls attending school in hidjebs erupted into ‘l'affaire du tchador’. As the controversy raged in the press, a community of nations was coming together in western Europe, while communist regimes throughout eastern Europe were falling apart. Perhaps most significantly, a divided Germany was in the process of reuniting. This article mounts an applique of clippings to suggest that there is a correlation between the polemics over the hidjeb in France and these larger events simultaneously transpiring across Europe. Discursive opposition to the wearing of the hidjeb commonly took the form of claims that this practice transgressed two tenets of French republican tradition: that of equality (in this case of women) and that of secularism. This study contends that the widespread invocation of these values as inalienable French principles can be powerfully challenged. To arrive at such an understanding, it seeks out the hidden shape of that which presented itself as one-d...
十年前，在法国，关于穆斯林女孩戴头巾上学的争论爆发为“l'affaire du tchador”。随着媒体上的争论愈演愈烈，一个国家共同体正在西欧团结起来，而整个东欧的共产主义政权正在分崩离析。也许最重要的是，分裂的德国正在重新统一。这篇文章通过对一些剪报的拼接来表明，在法国关于头巾的争论和同时发生在欧洲各地的这些更大的事件之间存在着某种关联。反对戴头巾的话语通常以声称这种做法违反了法国共和传统的两个原则的形式出现:平等(在这种情况下是女性)和世俗主义。本研究认为，将这些价值观作为不可剥夺的法国原则的广泛援引可以受到强有力的挑战。为了达到这样一种理解，它要寻找表现为一体的事物的隐藏形态……

As the writing of Aijaz Ahmad and Arif Dirlik illustrates, the direction of postcolonial criticism has moved towards an interrogation of its location within contemporary geopolitical power relationships. This self-critical emphasis has worked to foreground the ideological determinants of post-colonial theory, but it can also obscure the political efficacy of western critical frameworks. By emphasizing postcolonial theory's complicity with global capitalism, such approaches are in danger of reducing postcolonial theory to an effect of transnational capitalism, thereby leaving us with no ground from which to criticize contemporary colonialism. In response to these concerns, this article examines Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's powerful rearticulation of deconstruction, Marxism and feminism, and its critical effectivity in the contemporary context of transnational capitalism. While Spivak's project has gained currency in a range of critical discussions which extend beyond her own geopolitical location — indicat...

Several cultural studies commentators have noted the processes by which the transnationalization of corporate identity has also come to signal paradoxically an increasing process of global localization. This article explores the complex articulations of the global/local as they are played out in the everyday, existential dilemma of clothing matters for immigrants. It examines the relationship of clothing to questions of cultural citizenship in the US, and remarks on the reinscription of ethnicity as part of a similar though different nationalizing process in India. The study argues that such fetishization of cultural identities is deeply embedded within the consumerist and capitalist politics that seeks to commodify such identities. It examines the paradoxes of this dialectical movement by looking at how mail order catalogs in the US market ‘ethnicity’ as a sign of a non-contestatory process of ‘Americanization’ to a public increasingly desirous of consuming an ethnicity that can also be relinquished at w...

Consider that the friars and the secular clergy each has its own form of penance; consider that the Franciscan friars have one manner of doctrine and one way of life and one dress and one way of prayer; and the Augustinians another; and the Dominicans another; and the secular clergy another … and it was also like this among those who kept our gods, so that the ones from Mexico had one way of dress and prayer … and other towns had another; each town had its own way of sacrificing.
