One of my friends twitted this week: “as 51% of the population, we are generously being granted one day of celebration a year, I suppose we should be grateful that they gave us the 8th of March, and not, say, the 29th of February”.
This week’s lesson is all about clothes. Not fashion, mind you, but clothes as a part of the human spirit,
what we wear has meaning. Our clothes indicate who we are as individuals as well as a society. That’s why there are anthropologists that refer to clothes as “the social skin.”
Dress is a universal human behavior, no culture that we know of, has ever existed without some form of clothing. We know that societies that live in warm weather also engage in dressing, and conclude from that, that clothes offer more than just physical protection.
This lesson concentrates on the connection between clothes and language, and how much the English language uses clothes idioms and metaphors to express feelings and describe situation. We’ll also talk about ridicules clothes items and what they say about us.
