The Handbook of Textile Culture: Bloomsbury Academic

摘要

The Handbook of Textile Culture will interest readers of Textile History for two reasons: as a key resource for understanding recent textile practices, and, in the future, for the insights it will provide on the history of these practices, including art and design, curation and the materials and technologies of making and remaking. The book is impressive because of its huge scale and wide scope. It is massive in terms of size (weight, length and the number of colour illustrations). Topics include the politics of activism, globalisation and recycling; themes include affect, architecture, archives, cognition, fashion, installation art, metaphor and Tapestry Biennials.
