Fashion and existential sustainability

7.5 credits, Part-time 50%

The concept of sustainability is often discussed in terms of three main aspects: social, economic, and ecological. However, these are part of a more fundamental and existential question about how to achieve balance on both a societal and individual level. Unfortunately, the contemporary fashion industry is driven by both excessive production and consumption at the individual level.

In this course, we explore the underlying mechanisms behind these issues, and take a deeper look at how consumer culture has evolved, what defines it, and whether it is possible to develop a different fashion system - and a different way of life - that could address these problems.
