Stoffe, Leder, Metall oder Pixel: Kleidung ist weit mehr als blo e dekorative Hülle. Sie formt Körper, erzeugt Sichtbarkeit, stabilisiert soziale Rollen. Der vorliegende Band untersucht Kostüm und Kostümierung als grundlegende kulturelle Praktiken zwischen Theater, Literatur, sozialen Rollen und digitalen Räumen. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, wie Kleidung Identitäten hervorbringt und Strukturen reproduziert, herausfordert oder subvertiert. Die Beiträge verbinden literatur-, theater-, kultur- und medienwissenschaftliche Perspektiven und spannen einen Bogen von mittelalterlichen Rüstungen über Bühnenkostüme bis hin zu Avataren und digitalen Selbstentwürfen. So zeigt der Band, dass Kostümierung stets auch eine Praxis sozialer und medialer Selbstproduktion ist.
Fabrics, leather, metal, or pixels: clothing is far more than a merely decorative covering. It shapes bodies, produces visibility, and stabilizes social roles. This volume examines costume and costuming as fundamental cultural practices situated between theatre, literature, social roles, and digital spaces. At its centre lies the question of how clothing produces identities and reproduces, challenges, or subverts social structures. The contributions bring together perspectives from literary, theatre, cultural, and media studies, spanning a broad spectrum from medieval armour and stage costumes to avatars and digital self-fashionings. In doing so, the volume demonstrates that costuming always also constitutes a practice of social and medial self-production.
