Pastoureau suggests on p. 51of Devil's Cloth that "To dress oneself in stripes is not only to offer proof of public spirit, but also to display one's adherence to certain values important to the latest ideological trend."
While he was talking about the revolutionary stripe, let's think about how this applies to today's world. Does Pastoureau's suggestion carry weight today?
What examples can you think of today in terms of a design structure or icon that is both trendy and prolific because it provides a way for all people (either citizens, or not) to express an adherence to a dominant ideological standpoint? Offer some responses here if you'd like - or just think it over. We'll discuss in studio.
To be caught up: subscribe to blog; finish Pastoureau; present/ed stripe collage; blog by Thursday midnight; do some research on the 6 options so you can determine which group/medium/research method you will select.
BLOGGING
If you're unsure of what to blog about, look at your classmate's entries and make a 'comment' on one. There are some interesting discussions going on!
If you want to know something about Trinh Minh-ha, the filmmaker of "Re/Assemblage," google her. There is much info on her on-line.
See you all Friday!
