<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">There is something risky
about costume. Acts of costuming can render bodies as highly
visible, yet discourses of ‘the body’ all too often assign
this distinctive agency to acting or systems of social
aesthetics that collapse ‘self’ into appearance. The risky
act of costuming is magnified when considering how costume
performs notions of gender, race, national and cultural
identity as well as how costume authorship is attributed.
From conception to reception, costume has the potential to
complicate political, moral, and aesthetic systems that
flatten costumes into bodies and bodies into costumes.
Whether acts of cultural appropriation or the apparent
invisibility of costume designers and makers within the
analysis of bodily art practices, the intersection between
ethical relativism and the potential for costume to claim
bodies – to (dis)empower, enact politics, or be risky –
exposes the critical territory and social paradoxes that
acts of costuming negotiate.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For <i>Critical Costume
2018,</i> we ask what are the principal opportunities and
challenges that the provocation(s) of ‘costume ethics’ poses
to designers, artists, and scholars. We approach the
peculiarity of costume as a liminal method of appearance
that is consciously designed and performed. Yet, this same
transitional state can partition costume as unstable (when
compared to normative orders of bodily representation) that
highlights an innate ‘risk’ inherent within the design,
construction and wearing of costume. Consequently, we invite
contributions that debate the permissibility, authorship, or
risk of costume and costuming.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
