title = "Michel Foucault: fashioning the body politic",
abstract = "This chapter examines fashion practices and discourses through the work of philosopher Michel Foucault. The growth of academic interest in Foucault{\textquoteright}s work has reflected shifts in thinking about the nature of power, but how might we apply his concepts to the embodied practices of fashion and dress? Follows the development of Foucault's thinking from the objectifying effects of the sciences, modes of power/knowledge, to biopolitics; this chapter highlights the value of his body of work to research on the social and political significance of fashion. Thinking Through Fashion has been translated into Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Russian. A revised 2nd edition will be published in 2025. ",
