Research Question | How can inter-disciplinary exploration transform garment realisation?
Is there a need for a literature review in this area?
- Yes, this is an emerging research area.
- Post pandemic 3D technology as part of garment realisation has come more to the forefront
- Combining 3D with explorative teaching techniques i think is relevant as the 3D discipline already straddles other disciplines
What type of literature review would be most helpful and would make the greatest contribution?
- Integrative [Contextual] review
- Contextual – Include literature, podcasts, videos, conferences, evaluation of practical work
- The aim to assess, critique, and synthesize the literature on a research topic in a way that enables new theoretical frameworks and perspectives to emerge (Torraco, 2005 in Snyder, 2019, p.335).
- They are normally used to address mature or new and emerging topics, not to cover all published articles ever published but to combine perspectives and insights from different fields.
- The result of this type of review should be advancement in knowledge and theoretical frameworks rather than an overview.
- One key element to this type of review we must not forget is we need to be transparent in how each article was chosen and how the integrative (combining 2 or more things) topics have been defined (Snyder, 2019).
What audience will most likely be interested in the review?
- Tutors
- Fashion Technology educators
- Pattern cutters
- Digital fashion designers
Keywords:
Bruno Munari | Tacit Knowledge | Fashion 4.0 | Interdisciplinary | Digital Fashion | 3D Garment Realisation
Need to Outline:
Develop a search strategy for identifying relevant literature.
Develop a system to decide what criteria to include and exclude e.g. year of publication, language, journal etc
- Provide reasoning and transparency concerning all choices made.
