Abstract

This text presents the special issue «Sewing and telling. Methodologies and practices for narrating the social». It draws on the observation of textile practices, historically a material and symbolic language for expressing memories, resistance and connections, and notes how today in feminism, art and social movements, sewing, weaving and embroidery are also being reinterpreted as conscious and political gestures that articulate knowledge, denunciations and new ways of narrating complex experiences. The text provides a brief chronicle of the seminar «Coser y Contar» (Sewing and Storytelling), which gave rise to this special issue, and reviews the ten articles and interview included in it. The issue features contributions by Tania Pérez Bustos in the Fundamentals section. It also includes articles by Gabriel Gatti and María Martínez; Paloma Ríos; Iosune Fernández-Centeno; Gemma Celigueta Comerma and Mónica Martínez; Guadalupe Jiménez-Esquinas; Brenda Mondragón Toledo; Saioa del Olmo Alonso; Naia del Castillo; and Amaia Alvarez Uria. An interview conducted by Elixabete Imaz with Tania Pérez Bustos completes the issue.
