Hello If you are a textile researcher interested in skill, please consider submitting an abstract for our upcoming symposium ŚMissing Personsą planned for January 2017. Details as follows: Call for abstracts ŚMissing Persons: contemporary histories of textile knowledge, skills, technologies and materials' We invite applications to join a symposium on the 17th of January 2017 at Nottingham Trent University to share on-going work that helps to understand the various dimensions of the knowledge and skill that are present in the field of textiles. This will build on a number of projects at NTU, including an AHRC funded study of a lace factory, led by Tom Fisher with Julie Botticello, and a body of work based in NTUąs lace archive about historical art school pedagogy, led by Amanda Briggs-Goode. We intend contributions to the symposium to be the core of a new publication, and invite international academics and practitioners to join us to share a variety of perspectives on this broad topic. Questions to structure the symposium may include: · How can we uncover and represent relationships between craft process and social process in textile? · What role can Śnewą technologies (imaging, communications) play in representing embodied and embedded knowledge and the processes through which they play out? · What mix of commercial, cultural and institutional support is necessary to secure a future for textile heritage crafts? · How do we uncover and represent the Śmissing personsą in textile heritage crafts? The symposium focus is on knowledge and textile, but this is broadly conceived we hope the event will uncover new questions and opportunities. Please send a 200 word abstract of your proposed presentation to : [log in to unmask] by December the 9th 2016.
