Summary:
Made by generations of women, the folk garment of the Romanian blouse secured its language despite eons of fierce changes. Author Simona Bortis-Schultz creates a cultural-historical biography of the blouse, from Neolithic beginnings in northeastern Romania and western Ukraine, through the period of folk revival, the Communist era and the post-Communist emigration out of the region. Design, location, colors and their semiotic significance relay the elements of a deliberate communication carried forth by women through enduring craft from prehistory to today. The Romanian proverb “to hold your heart in your teeth” means to move forward bravely despite fear. The book is an homage to generations of resilient women: honoring the design qualities of this feminine fortitude and the garment they made to survive.

Au XIXe siècle, les châles en cachemire suscitèrent une folle passion, fort bien décrite - et parfois raillée - par Balzac. Ramenés de la campagne d'Egypte par les soldats de Bonaparte, ils donnèrent naissance à une vogue qui se répandit comme une traînée de poudre.

Ramenés de la campagne d'Egypte par les soldats de Bonaparte, ils donnèrent naissance à une vogue qui se répandit comme une traînée de poudre. Une nouvelle industrie se développa alors en Europe pour répondre à cet engouement croissant, et Napoléon poussa les fabricants français à rivaliser d'astuce pour imiter ces cachemires hors de prix. L'invention du métier à tisser Jacquard permis alors d'exécuter des décors étonnamment riches et complexes. La production française, entraîna même les artisans du Cachemire à imiter les modèles envoyés de Paris. Monique Lévi-Strauss, retrace, dans cet ouvrage très documenté, illustré et complété par de récentes découvertes, l'histoire de cette production, symbole du génie industriel, du raffinement et de la délicatesse du XIXe siècle. Exploitant documents d'archives, comptes rendus d'expositions et collections privées et publiques, l'auteur explore ce pan de l'histoire des arts et des techniques et fait.
