Apologies for cross-posting. The Language of Fashion / Fashioning Language One-Day Symposium to be held at the University of Aberdeen, Saturday 23rd March 2002 From 18th-24th March 2002, a trio of prominent young Austrian artists, Astrid Becksteiner (video artist), Lisa D. (fashion designer) and Petra Gangelbauer (writer) will be in residence at the University of Aberdeen, working on a collaborative project on 'Clothing'. Both individually and collectively, they will be reflecting on the multiple meanings of 'clothing' in their particular medium, and will present the results of their work in a performance to take place on Saturday 23rd March 2002 as part of a one-day symposium on 'The Language of Fashion / Fashioning Language'. We now invite proposals for papers that creatively engage with the title of the symposium. In selecting papers, we will seek to facilitate a cross-cultural, cross-temporal and cross-disciplinary approach. Possible topics include: … Writing Fashion … Display and Disguise … Fashioning the Self … Fashion and Social Theory … Text as Clothing … Writing on the Body … Clothing as Projection Surface Proposals for 30-minute papers, accompanied by a 200-word abstract, should be sent (preferably by email) to: Dr Janet Stewart Dept. of German Taylor Building University of Aberdeen AB24 5BH Tel. 01224 272488 Fax: 01224 272562 Email: [log in to unmask] -- *********************** Dr. Janet Stewart Dept. of German University of Aberdeen Taylor Building ABERDEEN AB24 3UB Tel: 01224 272488 Fax: 01224 272562 ***********************
