Call for papers - 'Missing 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 NTU's 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 processes and social processes in textiles? * What role can 'new' technologies (imaging, communications) play in representing embodied and embedded knowledge and the processes through which these 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 'missing persons' in textile heritage crafts? The symposium's focus is on knowledge and textiles, but this is broadly conceived - we hope the event will uncover new questions and opportunities.
