Playing with Haddon's String Figures
The transformative properties of string are considered via an analysis of string figures, also known as cat's cradles, which are loops of string manipulated to form three-dimensional patterns in sequence. This article looks at the string figures which form part of the collection made by A.C. Haddon in 1888, of everyday objects used by Torres Strait islanders. He promoted the documentation of string figures as a means of ethnographic enquiry, nota…
Material culture in action
The study of material culture encompasses the material and the symbolic properties of things. Approaches based on an understanding of material culture can help with the conservation of textiles because they encourage considerations regarding changes in their properties, both material and symbolic, over time. Examples of textile conservation illustrate material culture in action to the extent that they analyze the challenges posed by garments deli…
Conservation as Material Culture
Outside In
The practice of deliberately concealing garments within the structure of buildings is described. These finds provide a means of exploring how space was conceived and experienced in the past, and how these deliberately hidden garments mediated, and continue to mediate, the relationship between people and the spaces they occupied, and may continue to occupy. The Deliberately Concealed Garments Project was set up in 1998 to locate, document and anal…

Artifact or information? Articulating the conflicts in conserving archaeological textiles
This paper explores issues involved in the conservation of archaeological textiles by articulating often unstated conflicts in preserving both the object and the information it contains. Three main areas of conflict are identified: defining the term 'archaeological textiles'; preserving both the artifact and the information it may yield; and conflicts in ethics and practice. Varying approaches to treatment are illustrated by case studies, includi…
Restauração e conservação
O texto discute as idéias e diferentes conotações que os conceitos de conservação e restauração trazem em diferentes idiomas e culturas e as possíveis mudanças conceituais ocorridas nos últimos anos. São discutidas as diferenças de abordagem, procedimentos e objetivos que as duas atividades apresentam, sempre do ponto de vista da conservação de têxteis. Vários exemplos de abordagens distintas, desenvolvidas em função dos tratamentos de têxteis de…
