Have you heard about BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS?

A pilot open access model for books

BLOOMSBURY OPEN COLLECTIONS is a collective-action approach to funding open access (OA) books. Through this model, we aim to make OA publication available to a wider range of authors by spreading the cost across multiple organisations, while providing additional benefits to participating libraries. We are the first commercial publisher to pilot such a model. Our hope is to engage a more diverse set of authors, bringing their work to a wider global audience.

THE BOOKS

In this pilot phase we aim to make 20 frontlist titles in African Studies and International Development OA immediately upon publication. The titles, including some from Bloomsbury’s renowned Zed Books imprint, are due to publish between March 2024 and February 2025.

BENEFITS TO LIBRARIES

• Contribute to a progressive OA funding model that aims to make 20 research titles available OA

• Receive 1 year’s access to 194 backlist titles in African Studies and International Development

• Be publicly acknowledged on our website

• If we do not raise enough funds to publish the titles OA, receive permanent access to all 20 frontlist titles

• If we raise 50% of our target funding and can only publish 10 titles OA, receive permanent access to the 10 titles that are not made OA

Embodiment, Performance and Practice

Edited by Anna Pigott, Swansea University, UK, Owain Jones, Bath Spa University, UK & Ben Parry, Bath Spa University, UK

Bringing together accounts of how artists and scholars are creatively responding to ecocide, this book re-evaluates the relationships between creativity, ecological crisis and political change It highlights the growth of alternative approaches across the arts and within society, and develops an original conception of creativity as an antiecocide endeavour by using examples from conventional art settings and daily life

Dialogues with Degas Influence and Antagonism in Contemporary Art

Kathryn Brown, Loughborough University, UK

Responding to the current trend of relating historical art and themes to the contemporary period, this exciting book highlights the ongoing relevance of Edgar Degas to 20th- and 21st-century ideas and art practices. The first in-depth examination of his impact on contemporary art, Dialogues with Degas charts how modern practitioners have used Degas’s creativity as a springboard to engage imaginatively with themes of colonialism, gender, race and class It overturns familiar conceptions of influence by shedding new light on Degas’s art and that of his interlocutors; chapters focus on different dialogues between Degas’s painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and art produced since the 1980s which either explicitly developed Degas’s technical and compositional experiments or challenged them

Prehistoric Pictures and American Modernism

Abstract Art at MoMA 1937-1939

Elke Seibert, Independent Scholar, France

This book illuminates an, until now, disregarded aspect of American art history: the influence of prehistoric rock paintings exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in 1937 on members of the New York School, such as Willem and Elaine de Kooning, Arshile Gorky, Stuart Davis, John Graham, Josef Albers, and The American Abstracts Artists group The exhibition functioned as a catalyst for the reception of archaic art in North America, and Prehistoric Pictures and American Modernism demonstrates that contemporary debates about the modernity of prehistoric art form part of the discourse on ‘Primitivism ’

Improvision

Orphic Art in the Age of Jazz

Simon Shaw-Miller, University of Bristol, UK Central to the development of abstract art, in the early decades of the 20th century was the conception (most famously articulated by Walter Pater) that the most appropriate paradigm for nonfigurative art was music. The assumption has always been that this model was most effectively understood as Western music (classical music) However, the musical form that was abstract art’s true twin is jazz, a music that originated with African Americans, but which had a profound impact on European artistic sensibilities This book theorizes the affinities and connections between, and across, two seemingly diverse cultural phenomena, offering a truly interdisciplinary study

The Modern Venus Dress, Underwear and Accessories in the late 18th-Century Atlantic World

Elisabeth Gernerd

The Modern Venus highlights the significance of underwear and accessories in 1770s and 1780s British fashion, when fashionable dress expanded to new heights and volumes Dissecting the female silhouette into regions of the body, the book focuses on five types of dress: headwear, cork rumps and bums, muffs, handkerchiefs, and stays It establishes these garments as highly charged artefacts that functioned and flourished within 18th-century society. Though categorized as peripheral and supplementary, underwear and accessories acted as potent players within a woman’s wardrobe, not only creating her shape, but expressing her character, sociability, fashionability and political allegiances

Ordinary clothes have extraordinary stories In contrast to academic and curatorial focus on the spectacular and the luxurious, Everyday Fashion makes the case that your grandmother’s wardrobe is an archive as interesting and important as any museum store Beginning at 1550, individual chapters explore the definition of everyday fashion and how this has changed over time, and object biographies showcase the rich diversity of everyday fashion in British museum collections In scratching below the glossy surface of fashion, the book challenges readers to rethink how fashion systems evolved and reassess the boundaries between fashion and dress scholarship

A Historical Analysis

Kate Annett-Hitchcock, North Carolina State University, USA

Fashion in Altermodern China

Feng Jie, Southwest University of China, China

Fashion in Altermodern China examines key features and particularities of women’s fashion within the cultural and political context of contemporary China While demonstrating that global brands and styles heavily influence Chinese consumer trends, it equally argues that the Chinese fashion ‘system’ is formed of its own internal logics and emergent trends. For women in contemporary China, the flux of available fashions is experienced in a more open neutral manner than is typically described in current scholarship; and through incorporating both Western and Asian philosophies, this book reveals new ways to understand how women engage in fashion in China today

Regional Dress

Between Tradition and Modernity

Sara Hume, Kent State University Museum, USA

Through a rich variety of primary sources including costumes, illustrations, political cartoons, legal documents and oral histories, Regional Dress sheds light on the little known and rarely documented experiences of rural Europeans Using Alsace as a case study, it looks at how traditional dress evolved in France and Germany from the 19th to 21st centuries, revealing how modernity did not drive out tradition in rural communities but rather led to processes of adaption, preservation and re-evaluation Its material culture approach to the study of regionalism is essential to students of traditional and folk dress history, European history and design history

The Everyday Textures of Feminist Activism
