Abstract

This study aims to rethink fashion or, namely, the anthropology of fashion through examining issues generated by the relationship between art and the anthropology of art. Since their crossing paths, sound discussions have emerged between the anthropology of art and the art world, such as subjects about 'artworks and artefacts', 'Western and non-Western discourse' and 'art and agency'(Gell 1992; 1993; 1996; 1998).(omitted)
