Call for Papers: In The Loop 2
In response to the success of In the Loop held at Winchester School of Art in July 2008, and the continuing interest in knitting, this second interdisciplinary conference proposes an exploration of knitting from a broad range of practical and theoretical perspectives within the theme of tradition and renewal. Proposed papers that cross geographical or chronological boundaries in the following areas are of particular interest:
Knitting - traditions and their renewal in the 21st century
Knitting narratives - film, literature, music, poetry and the internet
Knitting - fashion knitwear including the industry
Knitting cultures from across the world
Knitting - artists and designers crossing boundaries
We welcome new and recent research in the form of short abstracts up to 300 words from practitioners, knitters, historians, conservators, theorists, educators, curators, technologists and the industry. Abstracts will be considered for formal 20 minute papers.
Deadline for abstracts: February 1, 2010
Notification of decision: March 1, 2010
