Hardback. Zustand: New. Cotillion balls were once rites reserved for white European nobility with the purpose of introducing young women to polite society and potential suitors. In the wake of emancipation towards the end of the nineteenth century, African Americans adopted this tradition as a means of social upliftment, communi…ty building, and education. This debut book by Brooklynbased photographer Miranda Barnes explores the rich history of Black cotillions in the US through an immersive collection of photographs made at debutante balls in Detroit between 2022 and 2025.This poignant and elegant body of work captures the community, camaraderie, and anticipation of this custom and the moment of transition it hinges upon. Sensitive portraits of debutantes with their elders and scenes of couples practicing their steps and dancing in formation are interleaved with studies of the distinctive material world of the cotillion: opulent corsages, taffeta ball gowns, morning suits, and tiaras. The resulting sequence harks back to bygone times and dreamworlds of childhood and youth, yet is also grounded firmly and emotively in the present, as young people look with anticipation towards their future. Social Season offers a glimpse of a unique tradition and introduces an exceptional documentarian of Black communities and subcultures in today's United States.The book is commissioned by Sofia Coppola and features a text by Dr. Renita Barge Clark, founder of The Cotillion Society of Detroit Educational Foundation, recounting the programme's roots and its work in the community.

hardcover. Zustand: New. Fotografie di Miranda Barnes. Con una poesia di Marilyn Nelson e un testo della Dott.ssa Renita Barge Clark, fondatrice della Cotillion Society of Detroit Educational Foundation, che ripercorre le origini del programma . Cm 26,5x25,5. pp. 104. . Nuovo (New). . Prima edizione firmata (Signed First Edition…). . Un tempo, i balli delle debuttanti erano riti riservati alla nobiltà bianca europea, con lo scopo di introdurre le giovani donne nell'alta società e ai potenziali pretendenti. In seguito all'emancipazione, verso la fine del XIX secolo, gli afroamericani adottarono questa tradizione come mezzo di elevazione sociale, costruzione della comunità ed educazione. Questo libro d'esordio della fotografa di Brooklyn Miranda Barnes esplora la ricca storia dei balli afroamericani delle debuttanti negli Stati Uniti attraverso un'immersiva raccolta di fotografie scattate ai balli delle debuttanti a Detroit tra il 2022 e il 2025.Questo toccante ed elegante corpus di opere documenta la comunità, il cameratismo e l'attesa di questa usanza e il momento di transizione su cui si fonda. Ritratti delicati di debuttanti con i loro accompagnatori e scene di coppie che provano i passi e danzano in formazione si alternano a studi sul particolare mondo materiale del ballo delle debuttanti: sontuosi corsage, abiti da ballo in taffetà, tailleur e diademi. La sequenza che ne risulta rievoca tempi passati e mondi onirici dell'infanzia e della giovinezza, ma è anche saldamente e profondamente radicata nel presente, con i giovani che guardano con trepidazione al loro futuro. Social Season offre uno scorcio di una tradizione unica e presenta un documentarista eccezionale delle comunità e sottoculture afroamericane negli Stati Uniti di oggi.Il libro è stato commissionato da Sofia Coppola Prima edizione firmata (Signed First Edition).
