This presentation examines the interrelations between Taiwanese women´s bodies, dress, sociocultural position, and agency in the post-war era. It uncovers how particular forms of dress were used to create a dominating ideology during different periods in the history of Taiwan. It also reveals how changes in the political and economic situation, as well as the strategic bodily practice of Taiwanese women are reducing this power of dress.
Dr Lin Shih Ying is an assistant professor at Tainan University of Technology, Taiwan.
