This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hair, or lack of it, is one the most significant identifiers of individuals in any society. In Antiquity, the power of hair to send a series of social messages was no different. This volume covers nearly a thousand years of history, from Archaic Greece to the end of the Roman Empire, concentrating on what is now Europe, North Africa, and the Near East. Among the key issues identified by its authors is the recognition that in any given society male and female hair tend to be opposites (when male hair is generally short, women's is long); that hair is a marker of age and stage of life (children and young people have longer, less confined hairstyles; adult hair is far more controlled); hair can be used to identify the 'other' in terms of race and ethnicity but also those who stand outside social norms such as witches and mad women. The chapters in A Cultural History of Hair in Antiquity cover the following topics: religion and ritualized belief, self and society, fashion and adornment, production and practice, health and hygiene, gender and sexuality, race and ethnicity, class and social status, and cultural representations.

Book excerpt: "The symbolism and significance of hair have fascinated historians, writers, and artists Erotic or obscene, and sometimes an extravagant indicator of social status, there is, however, a strange duality in attitudes towards hair that has led some cultures to relegate it to the private realm, concealing it from view with elaborate wigs or veils." "Daring Do's tells the story of the most astonishing coiffures of Western civilization, from ancient times when the marble "wigs" on Roman portrait busts were changed with every passing fashion in hairstyles, to the magnificent creations of the last days of the French monarchy, when ladies of the court rivaled one another with absurd, outrageous, and even allegorical coiffures. The 19th century witnessed extreme transformations in hairstyles, from the short mass of unruly curls held back by a black headband made famous by the beautiful Juliette Recamier to the long, flowing tresses of the Pre-Raphaelite muses. The 1920s brought the bob, and it has been said that women's decision to cut their hair was as important a step towards independence as obtaining the right to vote. Today, hairstyles remain at the forefront of fashion. Elaborate hair designs, often employing artificial hair, made a comeback during the 1980s, and the final chapter on contemporary fantasy coiffures illustrates styles that could rival even the greatest creations of the 18th century." "Mary Trasko's entertaining history of extraordinary hair is interwoven with charming anecdotes about the elegant women who influenced the styles of their time. Men's hairstyles remarkable enough to merit inclusion will show that the obsession with coiffure is by no means a purely feminine folly."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
