TEXTILE

期刊简介：Cloth accesses an astonishingly broad range of human experiences. The raw material from which things are made, it has various associations: sensual, somatic, decorative, functional and ritual. Yet although textiles are part of our everyday lives, their very familiarity and accessibility belie a complex set of histories, and invite a range of speculations about their personal, social and cultural meanings. This ability to move within and reference multiple sites gives textiles their potency. This journal brings together research in textiles in an innovative and distinctive academic forum for 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. Textile invites submissions informed by technology and visual media, history and cultural theory; anthropology; philosophy; political economy and psychoanalysis. It draws on a range of artistic practices, studio and digital work, manufacture and object production.

【译文】布料可以接触到极其广泛的人类经验。作为制造物品的原材料，它具有多种关联：感性的、躯体的、装饰性的、功能性的和仪式性的。然而，尽管纺织品是我们日常生活的一部分，但它们的熟悉性和可及性掩盖了一系列复杂的历史，并引发了对其个人、社会和文化意义的一系列猜测。这种在多个站点内移动和参考的能力赋予了纺织品其效力。该期刊将纺织品研究汇集在一个创新且独特的学术论坛中，为所有在扩展领域内对纺织品有多方面看法的人们提供帮助。它代表了一系列动态且广泛的批判实践，为艺术与工艺之间的出发点提供了一个平台；性别和身份；布料、身体和建筑；劳动力和技术；技术设计和实践——所有这些都位于更广泛的物质和视觉文化背景下。 《纺织》邀请以技术和视觉媒体、历史和文化理论为基础的投稿；人类学;哲学;政治经济学和精神分析。它借鉴了一系列艺术实践、工作室和数字工作、制造和物品生产。
