The History and Theory of Professional Practice
Focusing on the period 1870 to 1920, when the foundations were being laid for the U.S. architectural profession that we recognize today, Assembling the Architect explores the history of architectural practice. It unravels the competing interests which historically have structured the field, in turn shedding light on and cultivating a deeper understanding of today's digitally-enabled profession including BIM and IPD.

The Aesthetics of Felt Spaces
Edited by Tina Engels-Schwarzpaul, Auckland University Of Technology, New Zealand There is fast-growing awareness of the role atmospheres play in architectural practice as it is to aesthetic theory, this atmospheric turn owes much to the work of the German philosopher Gernot Böhme. Translated by Tina Engels-Schwarzpaul, Atmospheric Architectures brings together Böhme's most seminal writings on the subject, through chapters selected from his classic books and articles. It is a work which will provide rich references and a theoretical framework for ongoing discussions about atmospheres and their relations to architectural and urban spaces.

Anthropology for Architects Social Relations and the Built Environment
Ray Lucas, University of Manchester, UK What can architects learn from anthropologists? This is the central question examined in Anthropology for Architects – an exploration of the correspondence between contemporary social anthropology and architecture. The focus is on architecture as a design practice. Rather than presenting architectural artefacts as objects of the anthropological gaze, the book foregrounds the activities and aims of architects themselves. It looks at the choices that designers have to make – whether engaging with a site context, drawing, modelling, constructing, or making a post-occupancy analysis – and explores how an anthropological view can help inform design decisions.

Materials and Meaning in Architecture
Essays on the Bodily Experience of Buildings Nathaniel Coleman Interweaving architecture, philosophy and cultural history, Materials and Meaning in Architecture develops a rich and multi-dimensional exploration of materials and materiality in an age when architectural practice seems otherwise preoccupied with image and visual representation. Arguing that architecture is primarily experienced by the whole body, this broad-ranging study shows how the most engaging built works are as tactile as they are sensuous, communicating directly with the bodily sense, especially touch. It explores the theme of 'material imagination' and the power of establishing 'place identity' in an architect's work, to consider the enduring expressive possibilities of material use in architecture.

PAGON
Ludwig Hilberseimer
Espen Johnsen, University of Oslo, Norway
Scott Colman, Rice School of Architecture, USA
Scandinavian Avant-Garde Architecture 1945-1956 Part of the Bloomsbury Studies in Modern Architecture series, this book tells the story of PAGON (Progressive Architects Group Oslo Norway) for the first time, offering a definitive account of the group’s projects, buildings, and approach. Despite its individual members – including Sverre Fehn and Jørn Utzon – achieving international recognition, PAGON has been overlooked in the history of modern architecture. This book demonstrates how PAGON’s architecture constitutes a unique continuity between late 1930s Scandinavian functionalism and the modern movement in the US, and an important transitional stage before the emergence of the better-known neo-avant-garde groups within CIAM and Team 10.

Assembling the Architect
Architecture, Planning, and Art Criticism – Berlin, Bauhaus, USA Despite being internationally-known for his work on Lafayette Park in Detroit, Ludwig Hilberseimer’s legacy has been obscured in the history of modern architecture. Whether this is due to the intense shadow cast by his long-standing collaborator Ludwig Mies van der Roh, or by his oeuvre being split between the differing languages and contexts of interwar Germany and postwar North America, it is now clear that he was an important Bauhaus teacher and central to avantgarde art and architecture in the Weimar Republic. This book argues that the time is now right for a critical reassessment of Hilberseimer’s work and writings.

The Architecture of Art History A Historiography
Mark Crinson, Birkbeck University, UK & Richard J. Williams, University of Edinburgh, UK What is the place of architecture in the history of art? Why has it been at times central to the discipline, and at other times marginal? What is its place now? Many disciplines have a stake in the history of architecture – sociology, anthropology, human geography, to name a few. This highly original study deals with perhaps the most influential tradition of all – art history – examining how the relation between the disciplines of art history and architectural history has waxed and waned over the last one hundred and fifty years, and arguing for a challenge to the current status quo.

Modern Architect and Migrant in the Australian Tropics Edited by John MacArthur, University of Queensland, Australia & Deborah van der Plaat, University of Queensland, Australia Despite a European training and an early career working with Peter Behrens, a migration from Vienna to Queensland, Australian positioned the architect Karl Langer (1903-1969) at the very edge of both European and Australian modernism. Confronted by tropical heat and glare, the economics of affordable housing, and regional architectural practices, Langer moulded the European language of international modernism to Australia’s unique climatic and social conditions. This book tells Langer’s story through distinct essays focused on key themes and projects, offering both an examination of the architect’s work and legacy, and a case study in the trans-global dissemination of design ideas.

Modern Architecture and the Sacred
Network Nature
Edited by Ross Anderson, University of Sydney, Australia & Maximilian Sternberg, University of Cambridge, UK
Richard Coyne, Edinburgh College of Art, UK
Religious Legacies in World Architecture
Modern Architecture and the Sacred provides a timely reappraisal of architecture's manifold engagements with notions of the sacred in the twentieth century. A wide range of case material is presented over sixteen contributed essays - including the work of iconic modernist architects such as Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto and Mies van der Rohe - which together demonstrate that sacred or semi-sacred buildings should not be dismissed as peripheral phenomena in modernism. On the contrary, such works have much to reveal to us about the deeper motivations and complexities at the core of the modernist project.

Karl Langer
The Place of Nature in the Digital Age Taking as its starting point the common claim that the demands of digital media disrupt our attunement with nature, Network Nature examines digital technologies as they impinge on place and our experience of nature. In a discussion ranging from artificial intelligence, video games and robotic pets, to semiotics and the sublime – Richard Coyne provides a timely examination of the critical issues around digital technologies and their role in the challenges confronting nature, landscapes, and urban environments, exploring attempts to reproduce or enhance the natural by digital means, via computer-mediated organic, biomimetic and biophilic architecture.

Freemasonry and the Visual Arts from the Eighteenth Century Forward Historical and Global Perspectives
Edited by Reva Wolf, SUNY New Paltz, USA & Alisa Luxenberg, University of Georgia, Athens, USA With Freemasonry’s rise in the eighteenth century, art played a fundamental role in its practice, rhetoric, and global dissemination, while Freemasonry directly influenced developments in visual culture. Through diverse approaches, this volume explores the challenges inherent to the subject, through eye-opening case studies that reveal new dimensions of well-known artists such as Goya and Copley, and important collectors and entrepreneurs.

House of Secrets
Gill Hedley
Allison Levy
A Life in Art
Gill Hedley’s biography of art dealer and collector, Arthur Jeffress, has benefited from access to many hundreds of unpublished letters written between Jeffress and Robert Melville, who ran Jeffress’ own gallery from 1955-1961. The letters reveal a vivid picture of the London gallery world as well as frank details of artists, collectors and the definitive story of his suicide. Previously unpublished research reveals new information about the lives of Jeffress’ lover John Deakin, his business partner Erica Brausen, the French photographer André Ostier and Henry Clifford, and the way in which all of them influenced Jeffress’ first steps as a collector from the 1930s onwards.

Women Can’t Paint
Gender, the Glass Ceiling and Values in Contemporary Art Helen Gorrill, Royal Academy of Arts, UK
The Many Lives of a Florentine Palazzo When Italian Renaissance professor Allison Levy took up residency in the Palazzo Rucellai in Florence, she found herself immediately swept up into the vortex of its history. She spends every waking moment in the dusty Florentine libraries and exploring the palazzo’s countless rooms seeking to uncover its secrets. As she unearths the stories of those who have lived behind its celebrated façade, she discovers that it has been witness to weddings, suicides, orgies and even a murder; House of Secrets entwines Levy’s own experiences with the ghosts the celebrated palazzo left behind.

The Life of Forms in Art
Modernism, Organism, Vitality Brandon Taylor, University of Southampton, UK
Women artists experience prolific discrimination with their work commonly valued at almost half the price of men’s. Many museums contribute to this pattern by collecting tokenist women’s artworks, which affect the artists’ market value. In spite of these trends, Gørrill proves that there are few aesthetic differences between men and women’s painting. Introducing shocking evidence and challenging existing methodologies, Gørrill shows how the price of being a woman impacts all forms of artistic currency, be it social, cultural or economic, and in the vanguard of the ‘Me Too’ movement calls for the artworld to take action.
What is form in modern art? How could a work of art attain organic life in a world dominated by new technology? Brandon Taylor proposes that biology and the life sciences themselves supplied the analogies and metaphors by which the modern artist was guided. For both the artistic giants of the period and the lesser-known, such questions loomed large. In a book rich in new research and fresh thinking, Taylor proposes six modalities of organic and vital life that pervade the great experiments of modern art: the organic, the biomorphic, the ambiguous, the monstrous, the dialectical, and the liquid.

Postwar Italian Art History Today
Futurist Conditions
Untying 'the Knot'
David S. Mather, Stony Brook University, USA
Edited by Sharon Hecker, Independent Scholar, Italy & Marin R. Sullivan, Independent Scholar, USA
When visualizing motion in the early 20th century, the futurist visual artists embraced formal and conceptual approaches that reoriented some of the disruptive and destructive effects of technology toward more humanizing, spiritual aims. Through sustained analysis of artworks in painting, photography, and sculpture, which are adeptly framed in their pertinent intellectual and cultural contexts, Mather’s scholarship demonstrates various ways that photography both directly and indirectly touched the artistic practices and writings of Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, and the Bragaglia brothers—but it also provoked interpersonal conflict that irreparably fractured this cultural movement on the eve of the First World War.
Considering the parameters and impact of Italian art and visual studies since the Second World War, this edited volume calls for a systematic reconsideration of the artistic origins of postwar Italian visual culture, the terminology used to describe the work produced, and the key personalities and institutions that have promoted and supported the development and marketing of this art in Italy and abroad. Featuring case studies that emphasize new methodologies, the 16 contributing authors examine, from different viewpoints, the issues driving today’s Italian art history.

Modernist Magazines and the Social Ideal
Tim Satterthwaite, University of Brighton, UK Modernist Magazines and the Social Ideal is the first major study of photo-illustrated magazines of the 1920s, focusing on two of the leading European titles: the German monthly UHU and the French news journal VU. It explores, in particular, the striking use of regularity and repetition in photographs of modernity, reading these repetitious images as symbolic of modernist ideals of social order in the aftermath of the First World War. The book’s novel methodology, called pattern theory, represents a cautious, empirical attempt to apply the science of perceptual organisation to critical practice.

Picturing Russia’s Men
Masculinity and Modernity in 19th-Century Painting Allison Leigh, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA There was a discontent among Russian men in the nineteenth century that sometimes did not stem from poverty, loss, or the threat of war, but instead arose from trying to negotiate the paradoxical prescriptions for masculinity which characterized the era. This book takes a vital new approach to this topic by pairing close readings of paintings with some of the first translations of Russian artists’ writings. These are interwoven with the environments of class upheaval and political change in which they were produced to challenge the enduring myths which surround both masculinity and modernity in the history of art.

France and the Visual Arts since 1945 Remapping European Postwar and Contemporary Art
Edited by Catherine Dossin, Purdue University, USA Challenging the myth of post-war France’s supposed creative exhaustion, this volume gathers an international team of scholars, whose research offers a rich and complex overview of the visual arts produced in, or in connection to, France since 1945. Addressing a wide range of artistic practices and methodologies, the 17 essays stress the political dimensions and social ambitions of the art produced in France at the time, deconstruct the traditional geography of the French art worlds, and highlight the multiculturalism of the French art scene that resulted from its colonial past and the constant flux of artistic travels and migrations.

Edgar Wind and Modern Art In Defense of Marginal Anarchy Ben Thomas, University of Kent, UK The eminent art historian and philosopher Edgar Wind is mainly remembered as the author of Pagan Mysteries in the Renaissance (1958). Throughout his life, however, he was passionately interested in modern art, and recognized as a compelling public speaker on this topic. He gave, for example, a remarkable series of lectures at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in 1942, and was a friend of artists like Tchelitchew, Shahn and Kitaj. Ben Thomas’ astute analysis of Wind’s views on modern art reveals his robust challenge to the prevailing formalism of the age, and a new understanding of the iconographical approach.

Sculpture and the Decorative in Britain and Europe, Seventeenth Century to Contemporary
Edited by Imogen Hart, University of California, Berkeley, USA & Claire Jones, University of Birmingham, UK Foregrounding the overlaps between sculpture and the decorative challenges established academic and museological hierarchies, as well as the classed, raced and gendered categories that have structured the histories and languages of art and its making. Through distinct case studies (17th century altarpieces to contemporary ceramics), the book charts the contexts and agendas that shifting relationships between sculpture and the decorative expose and support. They thus demand a reassessment of how the two fields have been defined and separated, and offer a model for a more integrated form of art history writing.

Material Literacy in EighteenthCentury Britain
Childhood by Design
Edited by Serena Dyer, University of Warwick, UK & Chloe Wigston Smith, University of York, UK
Edited by Megan Brandow-Faller, City University of New York Kingsborough, USA
A Nation of Makers
These interdisciplinary essays invite us into the workshops, drawing rooms, and backrooms of a broad range of makers to uncover the key place of material literacy in Britain’s consumer revolution. Making could be taxing, laborious and frustrating, but it was also sociable, pleasurable, creative and skilled. It was a complex, codified and creative practice that forged collective vocabularies of manual labour and connected elite, middling and labouring people who relied on their material literacy to understand domestic and imported goods. Uncovering these languages and practices illuminates how this nation of shopkeepers was as much a nation of makers.

Toys and the Material Culture of Childhood, 1700-Present
Focusing on the new array of material objects designed in response to the modern ‘invention’ of childhood, this volume explores dynamic tensions between theory and practice, discursive constructions and lived experience as embodied in the material culture of childhood. Interdisciplinary contributions link historical discourses of childhood with close study of material objects and design culture. Included essays treat toys not merely as unproblematic reflections of sociocultural constructions of childhood but consider how design culture actively shaped, commodified and materialized shifting discursive constellations surrounding childhood and children.

The Sensing Body in the Visual Arts
Suffrage and the Arts
Rosalyn Driscoll
Miranda Garrett, Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London, UK & Zoë Thomas
By The Light of the Body
Rosalyn Driscoll presents experiential and theoretical grounds for integrating the bodily, somatic senses into our understanding of how we make and engage with visual art. Driscoll, a visual artist who has spent years making tactile, haptic sculpture, shows how using touch can deepen what we know through seeing, and even serve as a genuine alternative to sight. She proposes that tactile, somatic memory and experience is embedded in visual perception of art, and awareness of the somatic senses offers rich aesthetic and perceptual possibilities for art making and appreciation. This will be of use for students of museum studies, fine art, art history and sensory studies.

The Future of Objects in a Digital World
Craft as a Critique of Economic, Social and Technological Contexts Throughout the 21st century, craft practices have experienced a resurgence across the Western world. D Wood argues this is a direct response to and critique of the particular economic, social and technological context in which we live. Just as Ruskin and Morris viewed craft in the 1800s as a political opposition to the Industrial Revolution, Wood contends that craft activities are often today practiced as a rejection of mass production's waste and perceived lack of meaning.

Iconic Designs
Angus Forsyth
Edited by Grace Lees-Maffei, University of Hertfordshire, UK
Human Flight in Chinese Jade
Jade figurines depicting human flight are a varied and expressive manifestation of this most prized artistic medium. Angus Forsyth, a prominent collector of Chinese jade, in this book explores the making in the Middle Kingdom (over a 2000-year period, from the Han Dynasty onwards) of unique objects depicting figural movement through the air. He examines the depiction of apsaras (flying angels), kinnaras (man-birds), anthropomorphized bird headdress ornaments and finally garudas (humanoid birds appearing in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology). He shows how these flying figures came to be associated with veneration of the gods and specific devotional practice. Examining a variety of representative objects, none of which has been seen in print before, the author reveals that the original concept behind flying celestial beings and bird-men originated not in China but in India and the Christianized West, via the Silk Road. A distinctive characteristic of Chinese artefacts is that, in contrast to their Western angelic counterparts, they often are wingless. The book discusses small and larger jade pieces alike.

Peacock Revolution
Lydia Edwards, Edith Cowan University, Australia
Daniel Delis Hill, Fashion Historian, UK
A Guide to Changing Men’s Fashion from the 17th to the 20th Century
American Masculine Identity and Dress in the Sixties and Seventies
This lavishly illustrated book equips readers with all the information they need to ‘read’ menswear. How to Read a Suit is an authoritative visual guide to the under-explored area of men’s fashion across four centuries. Each entry includes annotated color images of historical garments, outlining important features and highlighting how styles have developed over time. You will learn how garments were constructed and where their inspiration stemmed from at key points in history – as well as how menswear has varied in type, cut, and popularity according to the occasion and the class, age and social status of the wearer.
The Peacock Revolution in menswear of the 1960s came as a profound shock to much of America. Men’s long hair and vividly colored, sexualized clothes challenged long established traditions of masculine identity. Peacock Revolution is an in-depth study of how radical changes in men’s clothing reflected, and contributed to, the changing ideas of American manhood initiated by a 'youthquake' of rebellious baby boomers coming of age in an era of social revolutions. Featuring a detailed examination of the diverse sociocultural and socio-political movements of the era, the book provides a thorough chronicle of the peacock fashions of a radical generation.

Fashion in Multiple Chinas Chinese Styles in the Transglobal Landscape
Edited by Wessie Ling & Simona Segre-Reinach The transformation of China from a major nation for clothing manufacture to an intensely fashionconsuming society has been widely documented. Less has been written about the making of Chinese fashion. Fashion in Multiple Chinas explores how multitudes of Chinese fashions operate across the widespread and diffused Chinese diaspora. It challenges the idea of ‘one Chinese nation', as well as of China as a single reality, revealing Chinese fashion as diverse and comprising multiple practices. Expert authors demonstrate how the making of Chinese fashion often involves a web of global entanglements between manufacturing and circulation, retailing and branding.

Performance Costume
Jessica P. Clark, Brock University, Canada

Gender and the Body in Modern London The Business of Beauty is the first history of the commercial beauty business in Victorian London, which challenges the view that the 19th and early 20th centuries were devoid of beauty practices. Contrary to this perception, Clark shows that Victorian men and women transformed their looks by purchasing goods and services from urban entrepreneurs such as perfumers, wigmakers and complexion specialists. From shady back parlours to elegant salons, Clark tells a story which revises traditional chronologies of western beauty businesses and reveals how Victorian critiques of beautification defined the buying and selling of beauty goods.

Rethinking Fashion through Ephemera
Fashion ephemera – from catalogs and invitations to press releases – have long been overlooked by the fashion industry. This book redresses the balance, considering these objects not as disposable promotional devices, but as windows into hidden networks of collaboration and inspiration. Fashion Remains explores the unseen fashion ephemera produced by today’s international fashion designers. This book focuses on Antwerp’s avant-garde fashion scene and takes us from Maison Margiela to Dries Van Noten. With 50 color images, Fashion Remains illuminates the far-from-fleeting significance of fashion ephemera as collaborative spaces for designers, stylists, art-directors, and photographers.

Conflict and Courage under The Current State of Fashion In this book Otto von Busch imagines fashion as a political state and reveals the acts of aesthetic superiority, micro-aggression and bullying which characterise getting dressed. Through four case studies, Von Busch suggests that it is in fact these experiences, and concurrent feelings of inclusion, adoration and power, which make fashion so pleasurable. Through these explorations, The Psychopolitics of Fashion offers new perspectives on fashion through the lens of politics, policing, affect and statehood, and even investigates the implications of these findings for fashion designers.

Fashion Stylists
History, Meaning and Practice Edited by Ane Lynge-Jorlén, Lund University, Sweden Stylists have become increasingly influential in shaping fashion imagery, moving from unrecognised background players to fashion celebrities lauded for their work and personal style. This book is the first to explore the history and meaning of styling through original interviews with leading professionals and examples from advertising, catwalks and magazines. Revealing the most significant trends in contemporary practice, Lynge-Jorlén shows that stylists have become creative consultants who push the boundaries of image making and survive in a fashion system increasingly under commercial pressure.

Dressing to Kill on Screen and in Literature Edited by Julia Petrov, Royal Alberta Museum, Canada & Gudrun D. Whitehead, University of Iceland in Reykjavík, Iceland From Jack the Ripper to Frankenstein, Halloween customs to Alexander McQueen collections, Fashioning Horror examines how terror is fashioned visually, symbolically, and materially through fashion and costume, in literature, film, and real life. With a series of case studies that range from sensationalist cinema and Slasher films to true crime and 19th century literature, the volume investigates the central importance of clothing to the horror genre, and broadens our understanding of both material and popular culture. Exploring the darker corners of the human imagination, this survey is the first to examine the relationship between fashion and horror.

Identity and Representation at Work in the Creative Industries
Fashioning Professionals addresses the key question of what it means to be a creative professional, both historically and today. From the fashion mannequin-maker and pop stylist to the digital-age blogger, the craft maker and design curator, ‘creative’ professional identities can be viewed as social practices; performed and negotiated through the media, the public and industry. Asking how the role of the creative professional has changed in the contemporary labor market since the birth of the digital age, this collection interweaves critical perspectives spanning fashion, design, art, architecture and advertising, arguing that these identities are continually in a state of fashioning.

Consumption, Politics and Islamic Identities
Turkey has witnessed remarkable sociocultural change under Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s regime, particularly in its religious communities. As pious individuals increasingly gain access to state power, so religious appearances and practices grow more visible in 'secular' public spaces. Above all, consumption practices have changed and new Islamic and Islamist identities have emerged. By investigating three of the most widespread faith-inspired communities in Turkey, this book explores diverse interpretations of Islamic rules related to the body and dress and feeds growing interest in the commercial aspects of modest and Islamic fashion.

Fashion and Class
Rachel Worth, Arts Institute at Bournemouth, UK This book examines changing notions of class throughout the history of fashion.

Fashion and Class is essential reading for those wishing to understand the ways in which the fashion system is tightly connected with ideas of class.

Integrating Draping, Drafting and Drawing
Bina Abling, Santa Fe Community College, USA & Kathleen Maggio This handy studio reference teaches draping, drafting, and drawing the way they are practiced in the industry: by integrating them throughout the creative process. Integrating Draping, Drafting, and Drawing illustrates the design process, encompassing sketch and garment pattern development, and creates bridges between studio methods and design illustration. Chapters are presented as hands-on learning experiences with lessons that mimic classroom demonstrations. Step-by-step photographs portray the draping process in a sculptural way rather than using illustrations, which cannot truly depict the response of fabric draped on a dress form. Throughout the book, instructions for producing patterns and slopers—skirts, bodices, necklines and collars, and sleeves—are presented, along with variations, so that students will be able to drape, draft, and draw complete garments. The concluding chapter of the book is devoted to drawing exercises based on the work of 20th century designer Donald Brooks.

The Rise of Fashion and Lessons Learned at Bergdorf Goodman Ira Neimark
From lavish events attended by high-profile personalities such as Princess Diana, Margaret Thatcher, Jacqueline Onassis, and Yves Saint Laurent to the latest creative ventures of Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, and Donald Trump, Ira Neimark, the legendary leader of fashion luxury retail, recounts how he and his talented fashion and merchandising team brought Bergdorf Goodman to its leadership position—an approach, he shows, that continues to inform the most successful designers and business leaders today. While his personal anecdotes focus on how and why Bergdorf helped build the fashion industry during one of the most exciting periods in its history—the late sixties through the early nineties—the author also shares his views on how contemporary retailers have increased profits by skimping on service, resulting in the loss of customer loyalty.

Global Photography
Authenticity, Science and the Periodical Press, 1870-1890 Throughout its early history, photography's authenticity was contested and challenged: how true a representation of reality can a photograph provide? Does the reproduction of a photograph affect its value as authentic or not? From a Photograph examines these questions in the light of the early scientific periodical press, exploring how the perceived veracity of a photograph, its use as scientific evidence and the technologies developed for printing it were intimately connected during this period of significant technological development and a growing readership.

Photography in India
Color and Victorian Photography
Edited by Aileen Blaney, Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, India & Chinar Shah, Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology, India
Introducing readers to the long and frequently overlooked history of polychrome photography, Color and Victorian Photography includes early accounts of the scientific search for color; essays on its value (or otherwise) by cultural critics such as John Ruskin; extracts from manuals on handcoloring; and 19th photographers' views on the use of color in their work, from Roger Fenton to Lewis Carroll. It asks why scientists, philosophers, photographers, literary writers and art theorists were so fascinated by the possibility and potential of color, and offers a fresh perspective on the culture and history of early photography.
From Archives to Contemporary Practice
Photography in India explores elements of the past, present and future of photography in the context of India through speculation and reflection on photography as an artistic, documentary and everyday practice. The perspectives of writers, theorists, curators and artists are brought together to explore changes which have been synchronous with contemporary India’s rapid urban and rural transformation and the technological shift from chemistry and light to programming and algorithms.

Photography and the Cultural History of the Postwar European City Tom Allbeson, Cardiff University, UK
Through a broad range of case studies, this book explores the impact of urban photography at a critical moment in European architectural history. Tracing how images trafficked between conceptual, media and material spaces in France, Britain and Germany, the book reveals how photography shaped the architecture of each country after the Second World War, reflecting each nation’s attitudes to the past and vision of its future. Fascinating reading for historians of visual and urban culture, this is the first volume to analyse how official publications and the illustrated popular press pictured and promoted pivotal perspectives on the city, nationhood and Western Europe.

A Philosophy of Textile Between Practice and Theory
Catherine Dormor, Middlesex University, UK
V I S U A L A R T S – Textiles / MAJOR REFERENCE
Sourcing Ideas for Textile Design
Textile is at once language, concept and material object. Philosophers such as Plato and Derrida have notably drawn on weaving processes to illustrate their ideas and artists such as Louise Bourgeois explored matters such as the needle and thread. This book brings together for the first time the work of thinkers such as Barthes, Cixous and Irigaray and international artists Eva Hesse and Helen Chadwick to put forward a new philosophy of textile. Exploring the material behaviours and philosophical language of folding, shimmering, seaming, viscosity and fraying, Dormor demonstrates how textile practice and theory are intricately woven together.
