Day 1: The Question of Questioning<\/p>\n
During day one of the Book Sprint,\u00a0we attempted to formulate a vocabulary of terms through which to discuss \u201cFashion and Politics.\u201d We had a free-write session for about 20 minutes, and each wrote down words\/phrases on sticky notes that we affixed to the blackboard. From there, we attempted to link different concepts under the categories of either \u201cfashion\u201d or of \u201cpolitics.\u201d In many cases, the purportedly separate camps bled into one another, and we found ourselves debating which concepts could be considered issues of \u201cfashion\u201d and which were those of \u201cpolitics.\u201d This only further illustrated the inextricable nature of the two, and the fact that fashion is, inherently, political. The why, who, what, when and how still remained.<\/p>\n
But, alas, it was only day one.<\/p>\n
The next activity was our take on the \u201cexquisite corpse\u201d exercise, in which we were assigned one of the words from our new \u2018vocabulary,\u2019 and produced drawings around them. We then passed each of these drawings around, adding to the content of the last illustrator. The result was quite interesting, and revealed the layered difference of individual methodologies and research interests.<\/p>\n
