Fashioning Globalisation: New Zealand design, working women and the cultural economy

Monograph based on seven years of in depth multi-method triangulated empirical research that follows the formation of the New Zealand fashion industry, including a comprehensive archive of media, policy and industry texts, over 50 semi-structured interviews, and extensive participant observation. Highly interdisciplinary and ambitious analysis drawing on economic geography, social anthropology, cultural studies and feminist theory to develop consecutive chapters that challenge accepted explanations for economic globalisation, culture and creative industries, creative cities, relationships between production and consumption, global subjectification, and the emergence of new feminised entrepreneurial subjects.
