Abstract

Th e article presents a conception of costume as representation of corporality. On an example of various kinds of costume we consider the symbolic mechanisms of assemblage of the collective body. Costume is based on a selection of wounds: it hides the wounds of an individual body and uncovers wounds of a collective body. We provide a classifi cation of symbolic functions of costume. Th e author describes nine symbolic functions: magic, age-related, social and sexual, class, professional, regional, religious, erotic and aesthetic. Ref. 1.
