Clothes and Identity: More than Just Fads & Fabrics



Do complement this reading with the AQ hand-out given during your Promos.
Paper 2 is a means to test students' response to everyday phenomena and how thoughtful and well-informed teens view them from their point of view. Yes, to go beyond the obvious always, which distinguishes marks between 4 to 8, 9 and 10.

This time, another take on clothes and the kind of social codes that accompany the fabrics we wear! Prospective students who wish to major in social anthropology will love this piece.

In this context, it'll be sad to think that some still associate clothing as materials to wear or clothe our bodies without looking at the symbolic value, economic dimensions (remember the documentary on GAP?) and political investments we put into an everyday requirement in deeper terms.
