The title of my talk in Milan at
Fashion Tales 2012 will be
The Metaphysics of Blogging. What that really means is that I will be considering the philosophy of blogging - the essence of its existence as an expressive medium. Blogging seems to be a new phenomena but it is not. People have been writing diaries and keeping sketchbooks for centuries and many such documents have ended up being published or in archives for use as research tools. By reconsidering the nature of blogging and using theorists like
Walter Benjamin and
Michel Foucault to support my argument, I hope to recast the blog as something more than just a dumping ground of images and ideas. In taking a theoretical approach to my analysis, I might put a new spin on this medium.
I'd love to hear from you, old and new bloggers alike, to tell me more about:
why you write a blog.
how you see your blog,
how you decide what to write about,
where blogging fits into your life,
what blogging has given you.
Tell me your stories and have your voice recorded as part of of fashion theory research. You can leave a comment here or email your comments/thoughts to me at fashionismymuse@me.com. I will keep all personal details confidential and will acknowledge your contribution to my research. Please pass this on to anyone you think might like to be heard.
And by the way, anyone can attend this conference in Milan. Please join me there if you are so inclined. Details are
here.

It sounds so interesting and my curiosity is all the more arisen when you're mentioning Foucault. I'd be delighted to answer your questions and email you....
And how I wish I could join you in Milano!

Milan??? Lucky, lucky you!!!
We were thinking of Venice this Spring - Jon's never been there. But, you know me and Paris - it's so hard for me to be so close, yet stay so far away LOL.
Your symposium sounds terrific - and your talk fascinating. Be sure to have it transcribed!

I don't know if you've seen my blog. I'ts very simple. People only acess, do'nt interact. My friends say they like ( and the acess may prove this... Don't have this exchange that you could do. I started in the second half of 2011.
