A suit jacket in parliament: trial by postmodern
Keywords:
political symbolism of a suit, parliamentary dress-code, suit jacket, Postmodern in politicsAbstract
A suit is undoubtedly a vestimentary symbol of the period of Modern. The dress-code scandals now taking place in parliaments of different countries can be grouped and defined as those connected with political demonstration, gender collision, denial of the Westernized clothing tradition, visualization of the subject of a deputy’s speech, personal style of deputies, or “concession to the modern times”. These scandals, mainly caused by the politicians’ outfits lacking jackets, reflect the conflict of values in the political spheres at the turn of the two epochs – Modern and Postmodern.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17072/2218-1067-2018-2-147-155References
