Textiles can possess the specific power to shape the way in which an individual human body is presented to others, as well as to position a collective of humans in relation to others.

Elle rompt avec la logique Orient-Occident puis Est/Ouest, qui avait été jusque-là celle du « monde connu ». De nombreux auteurs, artistes, écrivains et théoriciens ont mis en évidence la notion de Sud pour montrer combien la puissance du monde Nord-Atlantique reposait, depuis les premières vagues de colonisation, sur une relation inégale entre Nord et Sud, au détriment du Sud.
