In recent years, the study of textiles and culture has become a
dynamic field of scholarship, reflecting new global, material and
technological possibilities. This is the first handbook of
specially commissioned essays to provide a guide to the major
strands of critical work around textiles past and present and to
draw upon the work of artists and designers as well as researchers
in textiles studies. The handbook offers an authoritative and
wide-ranging guide to the topics, issues, and questions that are
central to the study of textiles today: it examines how material
practices reflect cross-cultural influences; it explores textiles'
relationships to history, memory, place, and social and
technological change; and considers their influence on fashion and
design, sustainable production, craft, architecture, curation and
contemporary textile art practice. This illustrated volume will be
essential reading for students and scholars involved in research on
textiles and related subjects such as dress, costume and fashion,
feminism and gender, art and design, and cultural history. Cover
