后现代社会西方女性时尚与身体塑造

RESEARCH ON WESTERN'S FASHION AND BODY FASHIONING IN POSTMODERN SOCIETY

从20世纪60年代开始,伴随着后现代主义和消费主义文化的逐步深入,西方女性的时尚与身体观念发生了很大变化。社会大众越来越多地把身体作为关注的焦点,导致了服装在外观上的影响力逐渐降低。女性对外观的管理越来越多地转移到皮肤、肌肉和骨骼上。通过健身、按摩、整容、美甲等各种方式对身体加以塑造从而获得"理想"的形体成为西方社会女性时尚生活中的常态。因此,本文认为,在当今被消费主义控制的后现代社会中,女性时尚已经与身体紧密联系在一起。新时代的女性在适当追求美丽的同时,应该拥有健康的心态,避免卷入消费主义的漩涡而成为后现代消费社会的牺牲品,这对女性身心的健康发展和女性的真正解放都是有意义的事情,同时也能导引女性时尚朝着更有利于女性自身发展的方向前进。

Along with the development of postmodern culture and consumerism, western women＇s ideal of fashion and body have changed greatly. Instead of the decorative function of garment in appearance, more and more people pay close attention to the fashioning function of the body. correspondingly the skin, muscles and bones become the focal point in the management of appearance. To possess an ＂ideal＂ body comes to be something normal in women＇ s fashion life through various ways such as shaping,massage,plastic surgery, manicure and so on. Therefore, women＇ s fashion and body has been closely connected together in the postmodern society which is under the control of consumerism. Yet, for the women of this age we should try to have healthy mind and attitude so as not to be absorbed by consumerism and be its victims, which will not only be good to women＇ s healthy development of body and mind, but also contribute to the development of women＇ s fashion and women＇ s liberation per se.
