[Commlist] CFP: Fashion/Media: Power & Possibility

CFP: Fashion/Media: Power & Possibility

Location: Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX

Date: Feb. 28-March 1, 2025

The Fashion Media Program in the Division of Journalism at Southern 
Methodist University is now accepting submissions for paper 
presentations at an upcoming two-day, transdisciplinary symposium, 
Fashion/Media: Power & Possibility.

We seek research papers and critical analyses that investigate fashion, 
style, dress and appearance within media and power hierarchies in both 
historical and contemporary contexts. We are particularly interested in 
exploring how media can create spaces of resistance in order to expose 
and reimagine existing power structures. Through sharing diverse 
perspectives on how fashion and media can serve as both oppressive and 
emancipatory forces, this symposium encourages a deeper examination of 
how the fashion industry at large can be more equitable and inclusive.

We welcome scholarly and creative submissions that address fashion, 
style, dress, appearance and personal adornment at the intersection of 
structure and agency.

Potential topics include (but are certainly not limited to):

  * Social significance of fashion, dress and personal adornment
  * Expressions of subcultural and countercultural identities
  * Fashion and consumption
  * Materiality and sustainable production and consumption
  * Fashion advertising and branding
  * Costume and dress in fictional works
  * Curation, archives and cultural memory
  * Historical aspects of dress and fashion media
  * Dress codes as cultural capital
  * Educational practices in fashion and media

For consideration, please submit abstracts of no than 300 words to 
https://bit.ly/fmpp-submitby 11:59p CT Dec. 15, 2024.
