Digital Research Methods in Fashion and Textile Studies

Autor Dr Amanda Sikarskie
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 ian 2020
Are you a researcher struggling to mine and make sense of a mountain of fashion data? Are you interested in learning about how digital methods and tools could enhance your research? Have you thought about ways to spark and engage in academic conversations on social media? Have you wondered how digital technologies are internationalizing the field of fashion and textile studies? 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.
