Fashion as indiscipline - Exposed, publicized, praised or criticized, fashion
defines a significant part of the material history of our societies.
the image of its complex and mobile industry, it constitutes a discipline in
becoming, an interdisciplinary field of research which has gradually
appropriated the analysis grids and critical tools of neighboring sciences,
while feeding on its own paradoxes and ambiguities. \n \nBetween
permanence and novelty, materiality and immateriality, Fashion as
indiscipline aims to bear witness to the richness of this field of creation
by outlining an overview of thinking on, by and for fashion.
Researchers, philosophers, creators, performance authors, collectors and
artistic directors are thus invited to question these together
territories around four central themes: the formation of styles
between clichés and emancipations; the forms of conservation of fashion, both
artistic and heritage; the relationship between this industry and the market;
and finally the current processes of creation, in the light of a perspective
ecological and resilience. \n \nThis work comes from the eponymous conference
organized by the School of Decorative Arts and the Duperré School in Cerisy in 2021.
