The fabric of society

Abstract

This paper introduces a project that intends to utilise research methods derived from experience within Art and Design, to investigate the sensory and emotional experience of wearing denim clothing in public. The researcher will provide an explanation of context and identify the range of research methods under consideration. The project is based on the premise that as a 21st century mass-produced product, denim typifies the processes inherent within design and commercial culture. Although culturally complex, its current ubiquity and 'ordinariness' make it particularly significant to be used as a model for inquiry into affective qualities in relation to the design of products in general. At the time of writing the project is at the planning stage, but first outcomes are planned for June 2003.
