Orderly Fashion: A Sociology of Markets

Selected reviews:

“Patrik Aspers shines a bright light on how markets come to seem orderly to producers and consumers, so they can strive to enact the script of rational actors. His astute and subtle account of all aspects of branded garment retailing sets a high bar for future studies of industry.”―Mark Granovetter, Stanford University

“This fine book makes an original contribution to our understanding of fashion, markets, and social theory. While there do exist books on each of these topics, none of them tie everything together in such a convincing manner. Orderly Fashion is a fine merger of Aspers’ substantive theoretical research interests, and is his best work so far.”―Richard Swedberg, author of Principles of Economic Sociology

“This book delivers on a huge promise to advance our knowledge of both order and markets through sociological concepts and insights. The book demonstrates with lucid reasoning why order in markets is best understood through the social construction of meaning. An impressive accomplishment.”―Shyon Baumann, University of Toronto

In addition to the astonishing size of the global garment industry, risk aggregations in the facilities that support the education and training of young professionals for careers in this field are among the most complex.  Not only have we moved this topic from our Saturday stream (which has run about four years now) but starting 2023 we move it into our weekday curriculum further breaking the coverage down further.   Join us today at 16:00 UTC as we begin organizing these topics separately.

We start with titles on our Fine Arts syllabus; putting aside the arguable difference between style and fashion which is largely outside our area of expertise.  Keeping these spaces safe and sustainable is.
