This new edited collection assembles academic essays and intellectual activism equally next to visual essays and artistic interventions and proposes a different concept for fashion research that eschews the traditional logic of academic fashion studies. It features acclaimed designers, artists, curators and theorists whose work investigates the multi-faceted debates on the rise of practice-based research in fashion. The book sets out to explore current issues in fashion research with a particular focus on both methodology and expansion of the field to encompass overlooked voices and narratives. It has a particular concern with the relationships between theory and practice and with how knowledge is created and disseminated in fashion studies. It is an excellent and really valuable contribution to the field at a point both when fashion studies is expanding and when the fashion industry is at a crucial point of change. Some of the contributions were originally presented at a symposium hosted by the Austrian Center for Fashion Research ‘TALKSHOW: The politics of practice-based fashion research’ at Vienna’s Museum of Applied Arts, curated by Wally Salner. The symposium brought together a group of fashion scholars, designers, educators and practitioners to explore critical contemporary fashion (research) practices, and to investigate critical fashion knowledge between theory and practice, beyond assumed disciplinary and epistemological boundaries. Many contributions in this volume were initially presented at that symposium, while others are testimonies of international debates that were part of the research activities of the Austrian Center for Fashion Research, a research project funded by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science Research and Economy, led by Elke Gaugele. The book is structured into three sections: Fashion Knowledge, Practice-Based Fashion Research, and Sites of Fashion and Politics. Contributions look at new forms of fashion knowledge that are forming with and along shifting fashion practices, practice-based fashion research, and sheds light on different sites and entanglements of fashion and politics in distinctive contemporary and historical moments of de/colonization, anti/racism, and anti/globalization.

Nationale und internationale Studien weisen darauf hin, dass der Anteil jener Väter, die nach einer Scheidung/Trennung keinen Kontakt mehr zu den Kindern hat, relativ hoch ist. Die Suche nach den Ursachen und Hintergründen findet aktuell im deutschsprachigen Raum eher auf medialer als auf wissenschaftlicher Ebene in Form eines stark polarisierten Diskurses der Schuldzuweisung an "kontaktverhindernde Mütter" oder "die Kinder verlassende Väter" statt. Das Anliegen der vorliegenden Studie aus Österreich ist es, einen differenzierenden Beitrag zur Komplexität der Beweggründe und Motivationen zu leisten, die zu diesem "individuellen Drama" führen. Auf sozialpolitischer Ebene werden zudem die vorherrschenden gesellschaftlichen Geschlechterbilder reflektiert und analysiert, wie eine Geschlechterpolitik in Bezug auf Väter konzeptioniert ist.
