Digital Research Methods in Fashion and Textile Studies
Bloomsbury Visual Arts (Verlag)
978-1-350-13447-8 (ISBN)
Digital Research Methods in Fashion and Textile Studies presents the reader with a variety of digital methodologies to help build skills in searching for, analyzing, and discussing vintage design, photography, and writing on fashion, as well as historic and ethnographic dress and textile objects themselves. Each chapter focuses upon a different method, problem, or research site, including:
- Maximalism and mixed-methods approaches to research
- Searching large databases effectively
- Pattern recognition and visual searching
- New trends in academic communication
- Critical reading, use, and citation of social media texts
- Data visualization
- Spatial mapping of fashion and textile data
In the current age of instant gratification, with users snapping and posting images from runway shows long before the clothes will ever appear in stores, the world of fashion is increasingly digital and fast-paced. Digital Research Methods in Fashion and Textile Studies will help you keep up in this rapidly changing world.
Amanda Sikarskie is Lecturer in Art History in the University of Michigan system and Lecturer in Fashion, Merchandising, and Design at Central Michigan University, USA. Her research looks at the intersection of fashion and textile studies and the digital humanities, and she is the author of Textile Collections: Preservation, Access, Curation and Interpretation in a Digital Age (2016).
