sensual,

part
> >of our everyday lives, their very familiarity and accessibility belie a

> >personal, social and cultural meanings. This ability to move within and
> >reference multiple sites gives textiles their potency.

> >This exciting new journal brings together research in textiles in an
> >innovative and distinctive academic forum, and will be of interest to all
