@serenadyer.bsky.social & I are pleased to announce a #cfp for our new edited online collection of Reflective Recreations with @bloomsburyfashion.bsky.social We seek short pieces of 1k words around recreative practice in dress & fashion history, museum studies & more! See the call & deadline below:

Histories of fashion, dress, and textiles are not just found in texts, images, and extant objects. The ‘embodied turn’ (Davidson, 2019) has seen scholars, curators and makers alike turn to their needles, dyestuffs, and looms to investigate how making can elucidate on how we understand the garments of the past. Joining the generations of conservators and experimental archaeologists who have employed similar methods, these maker-researchers are employing innovative techniques and practices to consider how retracing the creative processes of the past can reveal new dimensions to historical material knowledge. However, much of this research is difficult to capture and translate into the traditional written formats of the monograph or journal article. It is tacit, felt in the fingers, hands, and body, and challenging to wrangle into a comprehensible written form. Recreative Reflections invites authors to experiment with short-form modes of articulating and communicating their recreative practice approaches to dress and textile history.

We seek short essays of 1,000 words to appear as part of the Recreative Reflections section of the Bloomsbury Dress and Costume Library. These may comprise of pieces of reflective writing, autoethnographic studies, or accounts of making projects and the interventions and new knowledge which they exposed. We especially encourage authors to consider the broader value of their recreative work. How, for example, might it feed into understandings of historical bodies, notions of gender, the relationship between bodies and machines, or the temporalities of making.

Reflections should be submitted to Dr Serena Dyer and Dr Sarah Bendall at serena.dyer@dmu.ac.uk by 24th February 2025.
