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

Sat Nov 16 11:37:20 GMT 2024






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.
