| Course Objectives: | In this course, it is aimed to examine the society, the individual in the society, the individual's perception of culture; in short, the lifestyle of the individual belonging to a certain society and culture in a certain place, and the individual's clothing choices, which form the basis of all these titles. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1) Identifies the connection between the relationships between society, urban culture and the individual; 2) Analyzes the subcultural styles that exist in the international fashion design platform; 3) Compares how urban space affects the evolution of society and culture; 4) Compares how mass media and media affect subcultures; 5) Explains the definition of clothing as a means of communication; 6) Analyzes post-millennial global fashion design trends in youth subcultures. |
| This course focuses on society through the city, culture and subcultures, and the reflection of subcultures in clothing design. First, concepts related to culture and society, such as culture, popular culture, and subculture, will be defined, and how these concepts are reflected in the city center and its surrounding areas will be examined. The differences between the city's central and periphery areas will be examined, and the shantytowns, slums, ghettos, and peripheral neighborhoods that, along with the city center, provide the basis for the emergence and shaping of subcultures will be defined. Finally, the concept of clothing, which has its own language of communication, will be defined, and subcultural styles in fashion will be examined. |
