About the book This work, which had its seed planted during the bachelor's degree in philosophy in 2004 focused on the semiology of clothing, is a profound exploitation of body relations with the surrounding artifacts and the concept of fashion for beyond its transitory nature. With the support and mentoring of teachers Fernando Rocha and Kathrin Rosenfield, Accom conceptualizes the "field of fashion" as a space that encompasses the various dimensions of fashion, including those that resist ephemerality. The work still transits the need to "create concepts", evoking the ideas of Gilles Deleuze, and proposes a rich analysis of the relationship between body, clothing and the absence of this.
