Technology, Sustainability and the Fashion Industry
There is widespread rhetorical agreement that the fashion industry must get itself onto a more sustainable footing. What does this mean in practice, and how can sustainability be achieved in different regions around the world? This book brings together expert scholars and reflective practitioners via a network of dialogue and exchange to help drive forward a sustainable future for the fashion industry. With a focus on technological innovation, the contributions to this book provide a range of case studies from design thinking, through digital clothing and inclusive fashion. This book will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of circular business and the fashion industry, and provides a unique resource for readers seeking to understand more about the need for responsible fashion and how technology might be able to help.
Modenetze - Modeschwärme
Modemacher*innen, Designer*innen, Influencer*innen, Medien, Subkulturen - noch immer wird die Verantwortung für den modischen Wandel bei zentralen Schlüsselfiguren gesucht. Doch die Gatekeeper*innen der Vergangenheit haben viel von ihrer Definitionsmacht verloren. Was also treibt Moden gegenwärtig voran? Die Initiative scheint auf eine große Zahl Einzelner übergegangen, deren Vielfalt vestimentäre Kulturen hervorbringt, die sich als räumliche Modenetze und zeitliche Modeschwärme beschreiben lassen. Anna Kamneva-Wortmann bietet eine neue Perspektive auf die modische Demokratisierung und behauptet: Kleidermoden entstehen und verschwinden heute »bottom-up«.
Mode
Montage A/V nimmt mit dem aktuellen Heft «Mode» als integralen Bestandteil von Film- und Medienkulturen in den Blick. Mode und Film weisen in der Mediengeschichte erstaunlich vielfältige Parallelen und Berührungspunkte auf, was die Beiträge rezeptionshistorisch, filmanalytisch und theoretisch vom Stummfilm über die west- und ostdeutschen Kinowochenschauen der 1950er Jahre bis hin zu exemplarischen Fallstudien zu Fassbinder und der armenischen Schauspielerin Aurora Mardiganian untersuchen. Dabei zeigen sich Fragen nach der ästhetischen, sozialen und kommerziellen Verwobenheit, aber auch, wie mit Mode, Kleidern und Stoffen bildstrategische Inszenierungsformen und phänomenologische Aspekte der Wahrnehmung von Texturen im Bewegtbild jenseits von Kostümgeschichte diskutiert werden können. Darüber hinaus präsentiert das Heft ein Interview mit der Gründerin des London Fashion Film Festival, Marketa Uhlirova, sowie jenseits des Schwerpunkts einen Beitrag zur Funktion des Beiseitesprechens innerhalb des unzuverlässigen Erzählens in Filmen und Serien
Bally - A History of Footwear in the Interwar Period
Carl Franz Bally founded a shoe factory in Switzerland in 1851. Within decades, the Bally name had achieved worldwide recognition for its high-quality footwear. The history of modern footwear can be traced through the lens of Bally's corporate evolution. This book brings together the results of research on such topics as the economic importance of fashion, Bally's fortunes in the US, the career of shoe design, the sourcing and use of materials, and the rise of strategic product display. The research focuses on the 1930s and 1940s: years of economic crisis and war, characterized by a wide diversity of designs and increasing variety in product range. Shortages also led to experiments with materials and technical innovations. Featuring numerous points of contact with adjacent fields of historical study, this publication marks a contribution to the history of fashion as the history of industrially manufactured products.
Fashion Management

Macrocriminology and Freedom
How can power over others be transformed to ‘power with’? It is possible to transform many institutions to build societies with less predation and more freedom. These stretch from families and institutions of gender to the United Nations. Some societies, times and places have crime rates a hundred times higher than others. Some police forces kill at a hundred times the rate of others. Some criminal corporations kill thousands more than others. Micro variables fail to explain these patterns. Prevention principles for that challenge are macrocriminological. Freedom is conceived in a republican way as non-domination. Tempering domination prevents crime; crime prevention reduces domination. ...
Knowledge and Civil Society
This open access book focuses on the role of civil society in the creation, dissemination, and interpretation of knowledge in geographical contexts. It offers original, interdisciplinary and counterintuitive perspectives on civil society. The book includes reflections on civil and uncivil society, the role of civil society as a change agent, and on civil society perspectives of undone science. Conceptual approaches go beyond the tripartite division of public, private and civic sectors to propose new frameworks of civic networks and philanthropic fields, which take an inclusive view of the connectivity of civic agency across sectors. This includes relational analyses of epistemic power in civ...
The Last Taboo
'The Last Taboo' argues that body hair plays a central role in constructing masculinity and femininity and sexual and cultural identities. It asks how and why any particular issue can become defined as 'self-evidently' too silly or too mad to write about.
Communication in Peacebuilding
This book is concerned with the role that communication - understood as including both the factual and fictional mass media as well as the performative and visual arts - can play in post-civil war peacebuilding. It engages with questions of how a society can move from the civil war conditions of discursive dehumanisation to peaceful cooperation in post-civil war settings and how peacebuilders can help communities utilise the transformative capacity of communication to encourage the reimagining of and engagement with former enemies as co-citizens. Ultimately, civil and peaceful cooperation depends on the observance of discursive civility and the building of safe discursive spaces in which civil engagement between different groups of society (including former combatants and survivors) can safely take place. This book argues that understanding communicative peacebuilding in this way is fundamental to the achievement of self-sustainable everyday peace.
HRD Perspectives on Developmental Relationships
Developmental relationships constitute interdependent, generative connections that promote growth and learning among individuals. While studies reporting the impact of developmental relationships on learning, performance, and career development leaves no doubt about its relevance to the human resource development (HRD) field, we lack an in-depth understanding of how developmental relationships apply to the myriad of topics relevant to contemporary HRD research and practice such as social justice, diversity and equity, leadership development, career transitions, knowledge sharing, organization development, employee engagement, organizational learning culture, globalization, national HRD, and ...
