This exciting journal brings together research in an innovative and distinctive academic forum, and will be of interest to all those who share a multifaceted view of textiles within an expanded field. Representing a dynamic and wide-ranging set of critical practices, it provides a platform for points of departure between art and craft; gender and identity; cloth, body and architecture; labour and technology; techno-design and practice - all situated within the broader contexts of material and visual culture.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This journal has a lot going for it. It is easy to handle, well printed on good paper, imaginatively designed.Any university or college with an interest in textiles should subscribe to it and make it easily available. For individual scholars and makers, the journal provides a useful resource and will be a pleasure to collect and possess.'- Times Higher Education'I welcome this journal as an exciting event, which has been long overdue. It provides a window into the vast field of textiles, which is the very fabric of our life.'Jasleen Dhamija, Independent Scholar'Textile aims to publish cutting-edge research into the meanings of cloth, within the broadest context of material and visual culture. On this first showing, the publication is not only academic but accessible, with diverse contributions presented in a readable format. Textile shows that wider cultural interest in 'the crafts' comes when we dare to move beyond the narrow concerns of tradition and technique.- Crafts
