Dear Colleagues,
Attached is a call for submissions for an edited volume on gender, dressing
and transational bodies as part of the series "Contributions to Transnational
Feminism". Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:
•Theoretical and/or empirical work on dress, dressing styles or items in specific
geographical or historical contexts.
• The political economy of dress that links global supply chains and
consumption patterns, such as research on the global garment/textile industry
• Work that brings together insights on embodiment, bodies and dressing
• Theorizing on visual or material cultures linked to bodies, dressing or ‘habitus’
• The role of globalization or globalizing processes on dress and bodies
• Dress and urban lifestyles, dance, music and sport
• Dress and conflict, political movements and borders
• Experimental and (auto)ethnographic treatments of gender and dress
• Artistic works or art-based research that explore these themes
Deadline for expression of interest is 31 May 2009.
Best wishes,
Amanda Shaw
