Theatre Notebook : a journal of the history and technique of the British theatre - "interprets theatre widely covering theatrical activities inside and
outside theatre buildings, professional and amateur theatre, the
business of theatre, stage design, the history of theatre buildings,
acting technique, and theatre outside the British Isles that relates
directly to the history and technique of British theatre." - From The Society for Theatre Research's website.
And we have also taken out new subscriptions to three old favourites: Costume : the journal of the Costume Society - which "publishes articles that are primarily object-based, from a broad chronological period and with a worldwide remit; it maintains a balance between practice and theory and concentrates on the social significance of dress." -From the Costume Society's website.
Fashion practice : the Journal of design, creative process & the fashion industry - "is the first peer-reviewed academic journal to cover the full
range of contemporary design and manufacture within the context of the
fashion industry. Design processes and new technologies fuel the most
vibrant areas of fashion practice and commerce today, yet they have been
largely ignored by scholarship." - From the publishers website.
Fashion theory : the journal of dress, body & culture - "takes as its starting point a definition of ‘fashion’ as the cultural
construction of the embodied identity. The importance of studying the
body as a site for the deployment of discourses has been well
established in a number of disciplines. Until Fashion Theory’s
launch in 1997 the dressed body had suffered from a lack of critical
analysis. Increasingly scholars have recognized the cultural
significance of self-fashioning, including not only clothing but also
such body alterations as tattooing and piercing." - From the publishers website.Remember: current issues of journals are not for loan but you can borrow back issues on a one day loan.
