Summary:

This book examines the significant role of clothing and other corporeal decorations in the construction of identity in nine fictional and historical Golden Age autobiographies: Lazarillo de Tormes, Guzman de Alfarache, Guiton Onofre, El Buscon, La picara Justina, Vida del soldado espanol Miguel de Castro, Discurso de mi vida by Alonso Contreras, Vida i sucesos de la Monja Alferez by Catalina de Erauso and Comentarios del desenganado by Duque de Estrada. The study takes into account the philological, economical, political, moral and artistic meaning of costume in this period but follows different methodologies, such as the theories of Bakhtin, Mulvey, Freud, Lacan and Kristeva, to explain the particular subjectivity of each Life. ENCARNACIN JUREZ ALMENDROS is Assistant Professor of Spanish at the University of Notre Dame.
