Aims & Scope

Film, Fashion & Consumption is a peer-reviewed journal designed to provide an arena for the discussion of research, methods and practice within and between the fields of film, fashion, design, history, art history and heritage. The journal seeks to stimulate ongoing research on these topics and to attract contributions not only from scholars researching in these areas but also from practitioners, who are traditionally excluded from academic debate. The journal thus aims to unite and enlarge a community of researchers and practitioners in film, fashion, consumption and related fields, whilst also introducing a wider audience to new work, particularly to interdisciplinary research that looks at the intersections between film, fashion and consumption.

Special Issue Call for Papers 

Sanditon as Post-Heritage Drama

The principal editor of Film, Fashion & Consumption, Pamela Church Gibson, has observed that the 'demand for period dramas in […] post-heritage form’ seems insatiable. It matches other recent comments on the fact that there is a rampant demand for screen productions in the romance genre, especially. I am therefore very pleased to announce a special issue of Film, Fashion & Consumption dedicated to Andrew Davies’s TV-adaptation of Jane Austen’s manuscript fragment Sanditon (PBS 2019–23).

I suggest that contemporary, serialized post-heritage forms of period drama in particular adopt an alternative critical perspective on history that can be unpicked through a post-modern theoretical framework. Will Stanford Abbiss’s study of the already iconic TV series The Crown (Netflix 2016–) indicates five central guiding elements for a post-modern film analysis: interrogation, subversion, subjectivity, self-consciousness and ambiguity (Abbiss 2020). When applied, these elements help us pinpoint how the literary components of such period dramas can be adapted to also reflect contemporary culture, primarily by ‘letting the critiques of narrative dominate over the visual pleasures of [traditional] heritage’ (Abbiss 2020: 827). I have demonstrated how such a post-modern framework can be applied to Sanditon when I recently wrote about the costumes of one of its principal characters, Esther Denham (Ulfsdotter 2022).

Given the rich array of aspects that Andrew Davies’s adaptation proposes, scholarly topics of particular interest for our special issue on Sanditon would be:

  • screenplay; both Andrew Davies’s story line and individual episodes
  • conditions of production
  • comparative studies of Sanditon and other screen productions of Austen’s novels
  • iterations of contemporary discussions such as the Western history of slavery, feminism and law in Sanditon
  • critical reception
  • fandom perspectives
  • publicity material, such as trailers, behind the scenes imagery
  • generic shifts/treatments informing for example the relation between nostalgia and cultural heritage in Sanditon
  • Sanditon in relation to Will Abbiss’s suggested theoretical framework
  • costuming including hair and make-up
  • mise-en-scène
  • acting style
  • editing
  • locale in reference to images of heritage
  • actor selection
  • soundscape.

Send an article proposal of 300 words including a reference list of five key titles and 6-8 key words, together with a short bio to Boel.ulfsdotter@gu.se before October 2023. If accepted, your complete article of 6000–8000 words, including copy-cleared images, should be submitted by July 2024.

Acceptance notes will be sent out by November 2023. This Special Issue of Film, Fashion & Consumption will be published in 2025.

Film Costume in Indian Cinema

The journal Film, Fashion & Consumption seeks contributions for a Special Issue on film costume in Indian cinema. We are particularly interested in articles that cover new analytic ground, that engage with regional industries that are less well represented in existing literature and adopt novel methods and interpretive approaches. Possible topics include (but are not restricted to) industrial costume practice; costume in the work and careers of key actors, directors, and designers; and audience engagement with costume.

Interested authors are invited to email Clare Wilkinson at cmweber@wsu.edu for more information about the scope of the issue and to inquire whether their articles may fit well with the issue’s goals. Abstracts of 100 words are due 15 October 2023 at the latest.
