Dress research as an academic discipline draws from the fields of visual studies, linguistics, and cultural studies, and alternates between detailed empirical analysis of material culture and its interpretation. Fashion in images (painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture) and in written works are typically considered through the lens of art history and historical analysis, whereas the research on textiles and clothing tends to favor technology-based methods of investigation.
Yet not infrequently, it appears that the various specialized interests are generating independent strands of research leaving untapped the potential to create synergies and to synthesize diverse research approaches. Seeking ways to address this desideratum will be one key aim of this conference. "Cross-reading," the juxtaposition of different source texts, requires particular meticulousness and a thorough knowledge of the different research disciplines. Common to all the disciplines engaged in dress research is the question of how to precicsely define and delineate the image-dress-fashion triad. In the framework of this multidisciplinary conference, we want to bring about a reflection on applied methods and, with it, a collective self-positioning of the disciplines with regard to dress. The focus of discussion will be on methodical and methodological questions surrounding the reconstruction of dress and its significance in visual and textual media.

Programme You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
