Uniforms in design historical perspective
Uniforms are complex clothing series of great variety, designed for uses
spanning religious, military, professional,
educational, and recreational activities. Uniforms may be designed to
control, but at the same time they invite subversion; they may be loathed
as well as admired; their wearer may be feared, but also envied.
The significance of uniforms in everyday life should not be
underestimated; they are important material markers
of culture.
Papers for this Special Issue may address the design of uniforms and their
significance from various disciplinary,
geographical and cultural perspectives, and explore the relationship
between uniforms and:
€ changes in the relations of design and manufacture
€ the shaping of modern identities in private and/or public institutions
€ the evolution of discipline, self-expression, and subjectivity
€ the history of occupations or leisure activities
€ the history of design in fashion, film or theatre.
Please send abstracts of 300-400 words relating to this Special Issue by
25 September 2009 to
jdh@...
