Fortuny
Uncovers the extraordinary breadth of designer Mariano Fortuny, including and beyond his fashion output, alongside the personal and political catalysts that inspired him Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo (1871-1949) was a polymath who experimented in a variety of media including electric lighting, stage design, photography, the development of pigments, and textile and garment design. Yet his vision as a painter, persistently attuned to light and color, shaped all his artistic endeavors. Fortuny: Time, Space, Light examines Fortuny's Venetian workspaces, clothing designs, stage lighting inventions, and paintings to find unifying themes of revivalism, memory, light, magic, and secrecy that run through...
Venice and the Ottoman Empire
Accompanying a major traveling exhibition, this book examines the unique artistic and cultural exchange between the Republic of Venice and Turkish Ottoman culture and identity over a three-hundred-year period. From the early Renaissance to the end of the eighteenth century, Venice held a central position in the global trade network. This book explores how artistic and cultural ideas originating in the Ottoman Empire arrived in Venice and were reinterpreted through the decorative arts, printed books, painting, drawing, and architecture. Featuring a richly diverse selection from the collections of the Musei Civici di Venezia, this volume showcases the creative contributions of well-known Venet...
The Enduring Legacy of Venetian Renaissance Art
Venetian artistic giants of the sixteenth century, such as Giorgione, Vittore Carpaccio, Titian, Jacopo Sansovino, Jacopo Tintoretto, Paolo Veronese, and their contemporaries, continued to shape artistic development, tastes in collecting, and modes of display long after their own practices ended. The robust reverberation of the Venetian Renaissance spread far beyond the borders of the lagoon to inform and influence artists, authors, and collectors who spent very little or even no time in Venice proper. The Enduring Legacy of Venetian Renaissance Art investigates the historical resonance of Venetian sixteenth-century art and explores its afterlife and its reinvention by artists working in its...
Time in Fashion
Few phenomena embody the notion of time as well as fashion. Fast-moving and rooted in the 'now', it's constantly creating its own past through the process of rapid style change. Uniquely poised between the past and the future, fashion's relationship with time is unorthodox. Rather than considering time in the conventional sense, this anthology explores three alternative ways to think about fashion and time: the first identifies the seasonal nature of fashion as an industry, and shows how this has impacted on workers and wearers alike. The second looks at fashion design as a ceaseless process of adaptation, reconstruction and recombination of motifs, in which nostalgia and revivals play their...
Shopping and the Senses, 1800-1970
This book demonstrates the primacy of touch, smell, taste, sight and sound within the retail landscape. It shows that histories of the senses, body, and emotions were inextricably intertwined with processes and practices of retail and consumption. Shops are sensory feasts. From the rustle of silk to the tempting aroma of coffee, the multi-sensory appeal of goods has long been at the heart of how we shop. This book delves into and beyond this seductive idyl of consumer sensuality. Shopping was a sensory activity for consumers and retailers alike, but this experience was not always positive. This book is inhabited by tired feet and weary workers, as well as eager shoppers. It considers embodied sensory experiences and practices, and it represents both a celebration and interrogation of the integration of sensory histories into the study of retail and consumption. Crucially, this book places breathing, feeling human bodies back into the retail space.

Fashion, Popular Culture and Political Economy
This book delves into the intricate interplay of political, economic, and philosophic forces that have shaped popular culture, fashion, social movements and societies. Exploring the developments of the twentieth century and the transition into the new millennium, this work traces the causality between culture, fashion, philosophical discourses, and political economy. It analyzes political-economic and philosophical factors to demonstrate how fashion emerges as a pivotal force that guides and shapes post-modern democratic societies and market economies. The volume weaves together insights from sociology, cultural studies, feminist studies, fashion history, cinematography, media, the entertain...
Die Welt nach Wagner
Ein Standardwerk über den großen Komponisten - von einem der angesehensten Musikkritiker der USA. Beginnend mit dem Tod Wagners erzählt Alex Ross, was für uns zur Gegenwart geworden ist: Wir leben und sehen die Welt seit Wagner mit seinen Augen, seine Themen und Szenen prägen auch heute noch unser gesellschaftliches Bühnenbild. Wagner ist für Ross ein deutsches Drama, das sich aus der Wirklichkeit, aber auch aus dem Wahn speist. Sein Buch ist eine eindrucksvolle Kulturgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts, durchzogen von dem Erbe Richard Wagners - der widersprüchlich war, ungreifbar, vielleicht sogar unvollendet. Nur so ist auch seine Musik und sein Nachleben in Deutschland zu verstehen: Wir sind noch immer Wagner.
Il tempo della moda
Pochi fenomeni esprimono in modo preciso la nozione di tempo come la moda. Per definizione la moda deve sempre essere attuale, ma la sua relazione con il tempo non si limita al presente. Al contrario, nella moda entrano in gioco e si mescolano diverse concezioni del tempo. Il libro individua tre qualità principali del tempo in relazione alla moda: industriale, antilineare e ucronico. La prima sezione riflette sul modo in cui l’industria della moda crea e misura i propri tempi, come stagioni, anni, decenni. Indaga il concetto di modernità e analizza la sfida tra Zeitgeist della moda e storicismo. La sezione antilineare è dedicata alla particolare concezione circolare o labirintica del te...
