About the journal
About Textile: The Journal of Cloth & Culture
Winner of the ALPSP/Charlesworth Award for Best New Journal 2005.
Textile (ISSN: 1475-9756, e-ISSN 1751-8350) is published three times a year in March, July and November. The first issue was published in March 2003.
Edited by Catherine Harper, University College for the Creative Arts at Epsom (UK), and Doran Ross, UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History, Los Angeles (USA).
Associate Editor: Mary Littrell, Colorado State University, (USA)
Cloth accesses an astonishingly broad range of human experiences. It is the raw material from which things are made, and has various associations: sensual, somatic, decorative, functional and ritual. Yet although textiles are part of our everyday lives, their very familiarity and accessibility belie a complex set of histories, and invite a range of speculations about their personal, social and cultural meanings. It is this ability to move within and reference multiple sites that gives textiles their potency.
This exciting journal brings together research in textiles in an innovative and distinctive academic forum, and will be of interest to all those who share a multifaceted view of textiles within an expanded field. Representing a dynamic and wide-ranging set of critical practices, it provides a platform for points of departure between art and craft; gender and identity; cloth, body and architecture; labour and technology; techno-design and practice - all situated within the broader contexts of material and visual culture.
Textile invites submissions informed by technology and visual media, history and cultural theory; anthropology; philosophy; political economy and psychoanalysis. It will draw on a range of artistic practices, studio and digital work, manufacture and object production.

Style Guidelines for Textile
Notes for Contributors
Articles should be approximately 25 pages in length and must include a three-sentence biography of the author(s). Interviews should not exceed 15 pages and do not require an author biography. Film, exhibition and book reviews are normally 500 to 1,000 words in length. The Publishers will require a disk as well as a hard copy of any contributions (please mark clearly on the disk what word-processing program has been used).
From time to time, Textile: The Journal of Cloth & Culture plans to produce special issues devoted to a single topic with a guest editor. Persons wishing to organize a topical issue are invited to submit a proposal which contains a hundred-word description of the topic together with a list of potential contributors and paper subjects. Proposals are accepted only after a review by the journal editor and in-house editorial staff at Berg Publishers.
Manuscripts Manuscripts should be submitted to Janet Gilburt, Editorial Assistant (rooster.gilburt@virgin.net). Manuscripts will be acknowledged and entered into the review process discussed below. Manuscripts without illustrations will not be returned unless the author provides a self-addressed stamped envelope. Submission of a manuscript to the journal will be taken to imply that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication, and that if accepted for publication, it will not be published elsewhere, in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the editor and publisher. It is a condition of acceptance by the editor of a manuscript for publication that the publishers automatically acquire the copyright of the published article throughout the world. Textile: The Journal of Cloth & Culture does not pay authors for their manuscripts nor does it provide retyping, drawing, or mounting of illustrations.
Style US spelling and mechanicals are to be used. Authors are advised to consult The Chicago Manual of Style (15th Edition) as a guideline for style. Webster's Dictionary is our arbiter of spelling. We encourage the use of major subheadings and, where appropriate, second-level subheadings. Manuscripts submitted for consideration as an article must contain: a title page with the full title of the article, the author(s) name and address, and a three-sentence biography for each author. Do not place the author's name on any other page of the manuscript.
Manuscript Preparation Manuscripts must be typed double-spaced (including quotations, notes, and references cited), one side only, with at least one-inch margins on standard paper using a typeface no smaller than 12pts. The original manuscript and a copy of the text on disk (please ensure it is clearly marked with the word-processing programme that has been used) must be submitted, along with black and white original photographs (to be returned). Authors should retain a copy for their records. Any necessary artwork must be submitted with the manuscript.
Footnotes Footnotes appear as 'Notes' at the end of articles. Authors are advised to include footnote material in the text whenever possible. Notes are to be numbered consecutively throughout the paper and are to be typed double-spaced at the end of the text (Please do not use any footnoting or end-noting programs which your software may offer as this text becomes irretrievably lost at the typesetting stage).
References The list of references should be limited to, and inclusive of, those publications actually cited in the text. References are to be cited in the body of the text in parentheses with author's last name, the year of original publication, and page number - e.g., (Rouch 1958: 45). Titles and publication information appear as 'References' at the end of the article and should be listed alphabetically by author and chronologically for each author. Names of journals and publications should appear in full. Film and video information appear as 'Filmography'. References cited should be typed double-spaced on a separate page. References not presented in the style required will be returned to the author for revision.
Tables All tabular material should be part of a separately numbered series of 'Tables'. Each table must be typed on a separate sheet and identified by a short descriptive title. Footnotes for tables appear at the bottom of the table. Marginal notations on manuscripts should indicate approximately where tables are to appear.
Figures
All illustrative material ( drawings, maps, diagrams, and photographs) should be designated 'Figures'. They must be submitted in a form suitable for publication without redrawing. Drawings should be careful done with black ink on either hard, white, smooth-surfaced board or good quality tracing paper. Ordinarily, computer-generated drawings are not of publishable quality. Color photographs are encouraged by the publishers. Whenever possible, photographs should be 8 x 10 inches. The publishers encourage artwork to be submitted as scanned files (600 dpi or above) on disk or via email. All figures should be clearly numbered on the back and numbered consecutively. All captions should be typed double-spaced on a separate page. Marginal notations on manuscripts should indicate approximately where figures are to appear. While the editors and publishers will use ordinary care in protecting all figures submitted, they cannot assume responsibility for their loss or damage. Authors are discouraged from submitting rare or non-replaceable materials. It is the author's responsibility to secure written copyright clearance on all photographs and drawings that are not in the public domain. Copyright should be obtain for worldwide rights and on-line publishing.
Criteria for Evaluation Textile: The Journal of Cloth & Culture is a refereed journal. Manuscripts will be accepted only after review by both the editors and anonymous reviewers deemed competent to make professional judgments concerning the quality of the manuscript. Upon request, authors will receive reviewers' evaluations.
Reprints for Authors Twenty-five reprints of author's articles will be provided to the author free of charge. Additional reprints may be purchased upon request.
