Morfología del indumento del danzante de Corpus Christi y su aplicación en el diseño de indumentaria

Abstract

The present work "MORPHOLOGY OF THE INDUMENT OF THE CORPUS CHRISTI DANCER AND ITS APPLICATION IN THE DESIGN OF CLOTHING" starts from identifying an explicit problem such as the meager application of the morphological interpretation of the clothing of the Corpus Christi dancer in clothing, cause of the devaluation of the intangible cultural wealth presents in the dress of the main character of one of the religious festivals held in Ecuador. Attractiveness as a phenomenon tends to be located in what is visually denoted or evident, and not in the intrinsic language that requires deeper studies that demonstrate its symbolic value; the same that can be used as a reference in the creative process of clothing design to give identity qualities to clothing. The research tries to conceive an interaction of design with identity values, generating a socio-cultural impact from a syncretic expression. Likewise, it forges a cognitive impact, since through this study new realities immersed in the production of knowledge can be glimpsed. The general objective to which it responds is: to analyze the morphological elements of the Corpus Christi dancer costume to apply them in apparel design proposals. From the methodological point of view, it was a qualitative research that produced descriptive data and sought in an epistemological dimension, the interpretation of the phenomena to be studied through the use of preexisting empirical generalizations. Objectivity in the use of this methodology fell on the registered empirical data overcoming, through the interpretation of its meanings. The meanings were extracted from the data in order to analyze a subjective reality that has interpretive wealth as a reciprocal element. The proposal presented is analyzed from three categories addressed in the research: body, dress and context. Undoubtedly, the possibility of new and more comprehensive approaches from the perspective of other disciplines is open.
