Amprenta psihologică a modei asupra proceselor de incluziune și excludere socială. Cazul adolescenților imigranți moldoveni din Italia

Abstract

The phenomenon of fashion, although it does not affect the basic values of the society, settles on the cultural and practical content, often transforming the culture of a society. Each historical period is dominated by a certain cultural fashion (fashion that dies and is reborn, reproduces and disappears), which affects not only external forms such as clothing or furniture, but also language, ideology, behavior, which spreads within society, creating some cultural universes, which find that fertile ground especially among teenagers. Because clothes talk about us. A statement of common sense, along with its opposite, "clothes don't make you a monk," both alluding to different and complementary practices in the diverse universe of possible actions related to clothing. The work represents an analysis of the phenomenon of fashion, from a psychological perspective, as an element of inclusion/exclusion within the social and relational dynamics, which it produces between teenagers. It highlights the mechanisms through which clothing becomes a tool, which allows the expression and highlighting of the symbolic aspects of differentiation of individual and collective identity.
