Abstract

The way that people dress and adorn themselves may simply be following the dictates of fashion, but it is frequently a means of giving expression to particular social, political or religious values. Specific kinds of dress or the use of certain types of ornamentation are pescribed by ritual or by convention, including deeply entrenched gender relations. Thus clothing and other adornment usually underline the wearer's status and identity. In some African communities, items of beadwork may be used to draw attention to a woman's status as the mother of an initiate who has just undergone circumcision, while in others they may play a significant role in divination practices. A wide range of southern African peoples, whose clothing combines traditional and Western elements, is represented in this book.
服装和装饰品
人们穿着和装饰自己的方式可能只是遵循时尚的要求,但它往往是表达特定的社会、政治或宗教价值观的一种手段。特定种类的服装或某些类型的装饰的使用是由仪式或习俗规定的,包括根深蒂固的性别关系。因此,衣服和其他装饰品通常强调穿着者的地位和身份。在一些非洲社区,头饰物品可能被用来引起人们对妇女身份的关注,因为妇女的母亲刚刚接受了割礼,而在其他地方,它们可能在占卜实践中发挥重要作用。在这本书中,广泛的南部非洲民族的服装结合了传统和西方元素。
