Themes

In Plainspeak publishes one issue every month, with a single theme running across two months. Our aim is to expand safe, inclusive self-affirming spaces.

CURRENT ISSUE:

September 2023: Fashion and Sexuality

From codpieces and corsets to thongs and navel piercings, fashion is influenced by socio-cultural and sartorial norms. Diverse competing or complementary strands make up the warp and weft of fashion in the mainstream and conterculture/s. Fashion, therefore, assumes the bespoke role of signalling support for the status quo or staging a struggle against it. How do individuals navigate the dynamic process of self-fashioning to embody the politics of a certain aesthetic? How does fashion provide a frame for the playing out of body politics? What makes the process of dressing up or down joyful and self-affirming? In this issue of In Plainspeak, we will weave together some of these connecting threads between fashion and sexuality.

UPCOMING ISSUES:

October 2023: Fashion and Sexuality

November & December 2023: Digital Spaces and Sexuality
