[Commlist] Vista: call for papers on “Fashion and multiple perspectives”

VISTA: CALL FOR PAPERS ON “FASHION AND MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES”

Between 25 October 2024 and 15 January 2025, the call for papers for the 
View on ‘Fashion and Multiple Looks’ is open.

Thematic Editors: Francisco Mesquita (Universidade Fernando Pessoa, 
Portugal/Universidade do Minho, Portugal) and Lilyan Berlim (Escola 
Superior de Propaganda e Marketing, Brazil)

Fashion stands as one of society’s most dynamic, captivating, and 
complex phenomena, earning it an influential role across myriad domains. 
These domains weave together the individual’s place within society, 
reflecting and shaping the impact of personal and collective identities.

Mirroring who we are and, to a certain extent, who we once were, fashion 
leaves an indelible mark on time and defines the Zeitgeist of each 
historical moment.

As a visible expression of self, fashion declares, “this is who I am”, 
embodying the visual dimension of one’s personality. We are the only 
species that changes its skin every day, carrying profound social, 
economic, technological, and cultural significance. Through fashion, we 
project both the present moment and visions of the future, experimenting 
with postures, aesthetics, materials, dreams, and fantasies. Its 
inherently multidisciplinary nature enables fashion to engage in a 
constant dialogue with diverse influences that shape it continuously.

This thematic issue aims to create a space for exploring fashion through 
a lens that acknowledges its plurality and intersecting relationships 
with other fields. The multiple perspectives encouraged in this call for 
papers are intended to inspire pathways for innovative approaches and 
fresh insights.

Therefore, this publication aims to compile a plurality of perspectives 
on fashion. We intend to encompass not only the conventional areas of 
fashion but also to frame intersections from a multidisciplinary 
perspective that can yield new interpretations manifested through 
articles, reviews, and interviews.

In light of this, we propose the following topics for reflection:
– fashion and sustainability: a world in the making;
– fashion and communication (marketing, design, and advertising);
– language and signs of fashion;
– fashion: multi-, inter-, or transdisciplinary;
– digital technologies (artificial intelligence, 3D, augmented reality, 
and virtual reality) in the reconfiguration of fashion;
– fashion from multiple perspectives.
