In this open access publication, Ganaele Langlous describes how textile has been used as a medium of communication since the prehistoric period. In fact, up until the 19th century, civilizations throughout the world manipulated thread and fabric to communicate in a way that would astound many of us now.
Unlike text and images, textile is haptic and three-dimensional. Its meaning is unfixed, constantly shifting as it circulates between different owners and creators. In How Textile Communicates, Langlois dissects textile's unique capacity for communication through a range of global case studies, before examining the profound impact of colonialism on textile practice and the appropriation of this medium by capitalist systems.
A thought-provoking contribution to the fields of both fashion and communication studies, Langlois' writing challenges readers' preconceptions and shines new light on the profound impact of textiles on human communication.
