Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee.

Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

  • 'Nameless Motif'
    112 Fig. 1 Anonymous, Tataouine area, Tunisia, c. 1920-50. Knotted rug with primary ‘nameless motif’. Wool, 156 x 128 cm. paul vandenbroeck The ‘Nameless Motif’: On the Cross-Cultural 113 Iconography of an Energetic Form Paul Vandenbroeck * As I strolled through a quiet Tuscan townlet on a late summer’s afternoon in * KMSKAntwerpen/IMMRC-KULeuven 1973, in the days before the rural hinterland was changed for ever by the tourist invasion, I was struck by the sight of an elderly lady sitting at a table by the entrance to her house. Displayed on the tabletop were various home-made items of lace and textile that she was offering for sale. As a student of the his- tory of art, I was all too familiar with canonised Art, with capital A, but en- tirely ignorant about domestically crafted textiles. Yet I stopped in my tracks, captivated as I was by an ungraspable aesthetics that was quite alien to me, as it was light years away from the universe of male-dominated Renaissance art. There was one piece, featuring both abstract and stylised patterns, that I found particularly attractive – despite myself. When I enquired about the price, the woman asked: ‘Are you married?’. I told her I was not. ‘Then I cannot sell this piece to you’, she said. I stood there dumbfound, unable to comprehend why this should be the case, and tried to assure her that I found the piece genuinely beautiful. Speaking in the local dialect, slowly and clearly for my benefit, she said she believed me, but that that was not the point.

  • Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907)
    Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 BuYun Chen All rights reserved ABSTRACT Dressing for the Times: Fashion in Tang Dynasty China (618-907) BuYun Chen During the Tang dynasty, an increased capacity for change created a new value system predicated on the accumulation of wealth and the obsolescence of things that is best understood as fashion. Increased wealth among Tang elites was paralleled by a greater investment in clothes, which imbued clothes with new meaning. Intellectuals, who viewed heightened commercial activity and social mobility as symptomatic of an unstable society, found such profound changes in the vestimentary landscape unsettling. For them, a range of troubling developments, including crisis in the central government, deep suspicion of the newly empowered military and professional class, and anxiety about waste and obsolescence were all subsumed under the trope of fashionable dressing. The clamor of these intellectuals about the widespread desire to be “current” reveals the significant space fashion inhabited in the empire – a space that was repeatedly gendered female. This dissertation considers fashion as a system of social practices that is governed by material relations – a system that is also embroiled in the politics of the gendered self and the body. I demonstrate that this notion of fashion is the best way to understand the process through which competition for status and self-identification among elites gradually broke away from the imperial court and its system of official ranks.

  • Historic Costuming Presented by Jill Harrison
    Historic Southern Indiana Interpretation Workshop, March 2-4, 1998 Historic Costuming Presented By Jill Harrison IMPRESSIONS Each of us makes an impression before ever saying a word. We size up visitors all the time, anticipating behavior from their age, clothing, and demeanor. What do they think of interpreters, disguised as we are in the threads of another time? While stressing the importance of historically accurate costuming (outfits) and accoutrements for first- person interpreters, there are many reasons compromises are made - perhaps a tight budget or lack of skilled construction personnel. Items such as shoes and eyeglasses are usually a sticking point when assembling a truly accurate outfit. It has been suggested that when visitors spot inaccurate details, interpreter credibility is downgraded and visitors launch into a frame of mind to find other inaccuracies. This may be true of visitors who are historical reenactors, buffs, or other interpreters. Most visitors, though, lack the heightened awareness to recognize the difference between authentic period detailing and the less-than-perfect substitutions. But everyone will notice a wristwatch, sunglasses, or tennis shoes. We have a responsibility to the public not to misrepresent the past; otherwise we are not preserving history but instead creating our own fiction and calling it the truth. Realistically, the appearance of the interpreter, our information base, our techniques, and our environment all affect the first-person experience. Historically accurate costuming perfection is laudable and reinforces academic credence. The minute details can be a springboard to important educational concepts; but the outfit is not the linchpin on which successful interpretation hangs.

However, over the course of his prolific career spanning the first three decades of the twentieth century, from the Art Nouveau to the Art Deco movements, he was also a chemist, musician, composer, poet, critic, and theatrical costume designer. Born in Paris, Bénédictus entered the École des Arts Décoratifs in 1897 and, in 1900, he traveled to Darmstadt, Germany, to study chemistry, an interest that he continued to pursue after his return to Paris. Between 1900 and 1910, he worked primarily in cuir incrusté (inlaid leather), a technique for which he became well known; his panels and boxes featuring flowers, birds, and animals were regularly exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Décorateurs. He also provided the illustrations for a series of articles by the artist Maurice Verneuil for Art et Décoration on adapting motifs from nature for decorative purposes. Bénédictus’s renderings of insects, reptiles, and butterflies reflect the sinuous, organic forms of the Art Nouveau style. The 1920s represent the high point of Bénédictus’s professional career in terms of his contribution to the Art Deco aesthetic and his public recognition. He produced gouaches with repeating patterns for large-format hand-colored pochoir albums: Variations (1924), Nouvelles Variations (1926), and Relais (published posthumously in 1930).

  • Kalamkari, the Art of Painting with Natural Dyes
    Chitrolekha International Magazine on Art and Design, (ISSN 2231-4822), Vol. 5, No. 2, 2015 URL of the Issue: www.chitrolekha.com/v5n2.php Available at www.chitrolekha.com/V5/n2/08_Kalamkari.pdf Kolkata, India. © AesthetixMS Included in Art Full Text (H.W. Wilson), EBSCOHOST, Google Scholar, WorldCat etc. Kalamkari, the Art of Painting with Natural Dyes Sharad Chandra Independent Researcher Kalamkari means painting with a pen. It is an exquisite form of textile art with a heritage dating back to the ancient times. The origin of the term can be traced to the early period of alliance between the Persian and Indian trade merchants which identified all painted textile art from India as Kalamkari. ‘Kalam’ is the Persian word for pen, and ‘kari’ in Urdu implies the craftsmanship involved. Hence, ‘Kalamkari’ denotes the myriad manifestations of hand painted textiles with natural dyes. The pen referred to in the term is a short piece of bamboo or date- palm stick, shaped and pointed at its end to form a nib. Created without the use of chemicals or machine Kalamkari art is entirely a handicraft using natural or vegetable dyes and metallic salts called mordants to fix the dye into the cotton fibers. An exact resist process, complex and careful dyeing, sketching and painting of the design and, occasionally, even the addition of gold or silver tinsel into it are the other integral components of this art. The Kalamkari works are mostly produced in the small towns of Kalahasti, Machilipatnam and other interior regions of Andhra Pradesh by rural craftsmen and women, and is a household occupation passed from generation to generation as heritage.
