Compreender o fenômeno das Indústrias Criativas se faz oportuno – e necessário –, visto que as mesmas têm se destacado das demais pois possui, justamente, a criatividade como elemento diferencial. Howkins (2001)1 discorre que os detentores das ideias se tornaram profissionais mais importantes do que os que operam máquinas e, em muitos casos, até mais do que os que as possuem. Enquanto discutem-se inúmeras formas de diferenciação em mercados extremamente disputados, a criatividade prova, dia após dia, que pode ser esse agente díspar que as organizações tanto buscam. Criar pode ser, inclusive, uma questão de sobrevivência empresarial, dadas as incertezas em relação ao pres...

Cutting though the exaggerated and fanciful beliefs about the new possibilities of `net life′, Hine produces a distinctive understanding of the significance of the Internet and addresses such questions as: what challenges do the new technologies of communication pose for research methods? Does the Internet force us to rethink traditional categories of `culture′ and `society′? In this compelling and thoughtful book, Hine shows that the Internet is both a site for cultural formations and a cultural artefact which is shaped by people′s understandings and expectations. The Internet requires a new form of ethnography. The author considers the shape of this new ethnography and guides readers through its application in multiple settings.
Packed with examples from groundbreaking designers such as Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney, Edun and People Tree, A Practical Guide to Sustainable Fashion is a much-needed overview of current models of fashion design and production. Alison Gwilt introduces the key issues associated with the production, use and disposal of fashion clothing and gives step-by-step guidance on how to identify and evaluate the potential impacts of a garment during the design process. With innovative examples of best practice from international designers and brands, the chapters follow each key stage in the life cycle of a fashion garment and explores approaches such as low-impact textiles techniques, mono-materiality, zero waste techniques, upcycling, repair and maintenance techniques and closed-loop design systems. New to this edition: More in-depth coverage of design thinking, materials manufacture, practical techniques for creating 'faster' recyclable fashion and new ways forward for fashion, such as including the circular economy and the Sustainable Development Goals.
