On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

Following the journey of eight bargain store objects Alison Hulme reveals the complex story behind society’s simplest and cheapest commodities. Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project On the Commodity Trail explores the colourful and fascinating histories of everyday objects. Along the way we observe raw materials on municipal rubbish dumps in China newly re-made products in the world’s largest wholesale market and take a journey across the seas to bargain stores in Europe and North America arriving finally in the homes of consumers. Weaving together narratives from the people we meet at different parts of the commodity chain – waste peddlers wholesalers store owners and shoppers – the book examines the places and people at the heart of these localized yet immense global networks. Unlike other investigations of commodity chains this study does not chart a straightforward trajectory from production to consumption. Instead it demonstrates that the low-end commodity chain is one of constant rupture in which products are made and re-made blurring the dividing line between producing and consuming. An ethnography of material culture as well as an examination of commodity culture at a time of economic downturn this deeply-engrossing book makes a unique contribution to our understanding of commodity chains and consumer culture. | On the Commodity Trail The Journey of a Bargain Store Product from East to West

Claes Oldenburg's Theater of Vision Poetry Sculpture Film and Performance Art

Claes Oldenburg's Theater of Vision Poetry Sculpture Film and Performance Art

In four chronologically organized chapters this study traces the conceptual dependence and deep connectivity among Claes Oldenburg’s poetry sculpture films and performance art between 1956 and 1965. This research-intensive book argues that Oldenburg’s art relies on machine vision and other metaphors to visualize the structure and image content of human thought as an artistic problem. Anchored in new oral history interviews and extensive archival material it brings together understudied visual and concrete poetry experimental films fifteen group performances (commonly referred to as happenings) and a close analysis of his well-known installations of The Street (1960) and The Store (1961–62) effectively setting in place a reexamination of Oldenburg’s pop art from the street store home and cinema years. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history film studies performance studies literature intermedia studies and media theory. | Claes Oldenburg's Theater of Vision Poetry Sculpture Film and Performance Art

Corporate Culture and Globalization Ideology and Identity in a Global Fashion Retailer

This book offers an ethnographic analysis of how corporate culture has been transformed in the age of globalization and promotes the importance of a national ideology’s role in corporate culture studies. Based on 15 months of participant observation as a shop-floor salesperson this book explores the gap between management-created corporate ideology and employees’ interpretations of and responses to this ideology. This book approaches the issue by examining the formation dissemination and interpretation of corporate ideology at a global Japanese fashion retailer in Hong Kong. It does so by charting the history of the company’s corporate policy: from centralized attempts at corporate employee management through the creation of store manager missionaries intended to disseminate their ideology to the ultimately unexpected outcomes as corporate ideology collided with its interpretations by store employees. The interdisciplinary nature of this book will appeal to scholars and upper-level students in the fields of management marketing anthropology and cultural studies as well as those interested in globalization cross-cultural management and retail management. | Corporate Culture and Globalization Ideology and Identity in a Global Fashion Retailer

Vinyl The Analogue Record in the Digital Age

Vinyl The Analogue Record in the Digital Age

Recent years have seen not just a revival but a rebirth of the analogue record. More than merely a nostalgic craze vinyl has become a cultural icon. As music consumption migrated to digital and online this seemingly obsolete medium became the fastest-growing format in music sales. Whilst vinyl never ceased to be the favorite amongst many music lovers and DJs from the late 1980s the recording industry regarded it as an outdated relic consigned to dusty domestic corners and obscure record shops. So why is vinyl now experiencing a ‘rebirth of its cool’?Dominik Bartmanski and Ian Woodward explore this question by combining a cultural sociological approach with insights from material culture studies. Presenting vinyl as a multifaceted cultural object they investigate the reasons behind its persistence within our technologically accelerated culture. Informed by media analysis urban ethnography and the authors’ interviews with musicians DJs sound engineers record store owners collectors and cutting-edge label chiefs from a range of metropolitan centres renowned for thriving music scenes including London New York Tokyo Melbourne and especially Berlin what emerges is a story of a modern icon. | Vinyl The Analogue Record in the Digital Age

Power and Subversion in Byzantium Papers from the 43rd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies Birmingham March 2010

Power and Subversion in Byzantium Papers from the 43rd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies Birmingham March 2010

This volume addresses a theme of special significance for Byzantine studies. Byzantium has traditionally been deemed a civilisation which deferred to authority and set special store by orthodoxy canon and proper order. Since 1982 when the distinguished Russian Byzantinist Alexander Kazhdan wrote that 'the history of Byzantine intellectual opposition has yet to be written' scholars have increasingly highlighted cases of subversion of 'correct practice' and 'correct belief' in Byzantium. This innovative scholarly effort has produced important results although it has been hampered by the lack of dialogue across the disciplines of Byzantine studies. The 43rd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies in 2010 drew together historians art historians and scholars of literature religion and philosophy who discussed shared and discipline-specific approaches to the theme of subversion. The present volume presents a selection of the papers delivered at the symposium enriched with specially commissioned contributions. Most papers deal with the period after the eleventh century although early Byzantium is not ignored. Theoretical questions about the nature articulation and limits of subversion are addressed within the frameworks of individual disciplines and in a larger context. The volume comes at a timely junction in the development of Byzantine studies as interest in subversion and nonconformity in general has been rising steadily in the field. | Power and Subversion in Byzantium Papers from the 43rd Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies Birmingham March 2010

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR combines two hugely influential and effective therapies EMDR therapy and sensorimotor psychotherapy to provide a new approach. In doing so the book supports the widely held view of psychotherapists that in trauma the primary store of neurological information is somatic rather than cognitive. Many therapists trained in EMDR find that additional resources are needed for patients who present with symptoms of complex trauma and dissociation. This is because EMDR is primarily a top-down approach based on CBT with the addition of bilateral stimulation (BLS) in visual tactile and auditory modalities. By contrast Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR takes a body-based and bottom-up approach that seeks to resolve trauma by reprocessing information at multiple levels – in the gut-brain the heart-brain and the head-brain as well as in the endocrine immune and nervous systems. Fully revised since The Art of BART (2015) the book looks at the latest advances in neuroscience including research into the effectiveness of psychotherapy and the mysteries of consciousness and the development of mind. It also looks at the role of newly discovered organs the mesentery and the interstitium and provides clear anatomical evidence for the communication of biophotons in energy channels known as the primo vascular system. SF-EMDR is the only therapy that fully integrates Western theories of affective neuroscience with Eastern observations on activation of chakras pranas and energies and in doing so it offers strong potential for enhanced outcomes and optimized performance for patients. | Sensorimotor-Focused EMDR A New Paradigm for Psychotherapy and Peak Performance

Pop-Up Retail The Evolution Application and Future of Ephemeral Stores

Pop-Up Retail The Evolution Application and Future of Ephemeral Stores

Ephemeral stores also known as pop-up stores have existed since the beginning of trade between consumers. They appeared in city centres villages or other convenient places where they proposed an offering and then disappeared as soon as its offering was wearied. This is a very similar experience to the current phenomenon; ephemeral stores appear unannounced and disappear without notice or can morph into something else. Brands adopt these stores because of the array of benefits they present and their characterizing features. Consumers on the other hand are not only positively reactive to ephemeral stores they actively demand these novel engaging satisfying or beneficial stores more than ever as they provide them with constant change and surprise. Focusing on ephemeral retailing this book aims to provide a clear understanding of what it is how it developed and why it gained importance in today’s busy retail scene. As many brands are adopting ephemeral stores into their distribution channels or using them as unique touchpoints this book proposes a categorization of ephemeral retailing explaining different ephemeral store vocations based on different brand strategies and objectives. With many professional opinions about ephemeral stores and a body of academic research developing this book aims to combine all knowledge about the topic into one concise publication: it clarifies consolidates and creates a clear understanding about the topic of ephemeral retailing that will inform future research and activity. The book is written for academics students and retail professionals with an interest in relevant fields such as retail marketing and management brand management and distribution. | Pop-Up Retail The Evolution Application and Future of Ephemeral Stores

Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

Bringing together ten utopian works that mark important points in the history and an evolution in social and political philosophies this book not only reflects on the texts and their political philosophy and implications but also their architecture and how that architecture informs the political philosophy or social agenda that the author intended. Each of the ten authors expressed their theory through concepts of community and utopian architecture but each featured an architectural solution at the centre of their social and political philosophy as none of the cities were ever built they have remained as utopian literature. Some of the works examined are very well-known such as Tommaso Campanella’s Civitas Solis while others such as Joseph Michael Gandy’s Designs for Cottages are relatively obscure. However even with the best known works this volume offers new insights by focusing on the architecture of the cities and how that architecture represents the author’s political philosophy. It reconstructs the cities through a 3-D computer program ArchiCAD using Artlantis to render. Plans sections elevations and perspectives are presented for each of the cities. The ten cities are: Filarete - Sforzina; Albrecht D¼rer - Fortified Utopia; Tommaso Campanella - The City of the Sun; Johann Valentin Andreae - Christianopolis; Joseph Michael Gandy - An Agricultural Village; Robert Owen - Villages of Unity and Cooperation; James Silk Buckingham - Victoria; Robert Pemberton - Queen Victoria Town; King Camp Gillette - Metropolis; and Bradford Peck - The World a Department Store. Each chapter considers the work in conjunction with contemporary thought the political philosophy and the reconstruction of the city. Although these ten cities represent over 500 years of utopian and political thought they are an interlinked thread that had been drawn from literature of the past and informed by contemporary thought and society. The book is structured in two parts: | Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

Co-operation and Globalisation The British Co-operative Wholesales the Co-operative Group and the World since 1863

Co-operation and Globalisation The British Co-operative Wholesales the Co-operative Group and the World since 1863

Globalisation is associated with capitalist multinationals dedicated to the enrichment of wealthy corporate shareholders. However less well known is that the English and Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Societies owned by the growing number of local co-operative societies across the country were early leaders in global commerce. Owned by their working-class members by 1900 there were over 1 000 societies and millions of individual members. Spreading profits widely through the ‘divi’ which rewarded members shopping at the co-op store and selling safe and wholesome food the co-operative movement was a successful part of the emerging labour movement. This success depended on the wholesale societies supplying societies with commodities from all over the world. Because local societies were free to source produce from whoever they chose competitive pressures required the wholesale societies to develop the world’s most formidable network of international supply chains with branches depots plantations and factories in the USA Canada Denmark Sweden Spain Greece France Germany India Ceylon Australia New Zealand colonial West Africa and Argentina. This book explains how the wholesales developed and managed these networks giving them a competitive advantage in their dealings with the local societies. It will explore why and how this ‘People’s Global Colossus’ declined in the later 20th century and how its focus in international commerce moved onto ethical sourcing investment and Fair Trade. Integral to these global networks were the UK movement’s relations with foreign co-operative movements especially through involvement in the International Co-operative Alliance and promotion of co-operatives in the Empire by successive British governments as a tool for economic development. The ‘People’s Colossus’ was thus a political as well as a commercial player in the increasingly complex world of the late 19th and 20th centuries. | Co-operation and Globalisation The British Co-operative Wholesales the Co-operative Group and the World since 1863

Money and Capital A Critique of Monetary Thought the Dollar and Post-Capitalism

Money and Capital A Critique of Monetary Thought the Dollar and Post-Capitalism

This book renews the Marxian theory of the general equivalent by highlighting the contradiction between the social functions of money (unit of account means of circulation) and its private functions (store of value accumulation). It draws a clear distinction between the monetary base and the commodity base of money and thus avoids the confusion between money and credit on the one hand and money and capital on the other which are found in other heterodox monetary theories. It accounts for the new forms of monetary constraints weighing on the banking systems under and inconvertible fiat money standard the class relationships underlying the interventions of monetary authorities and governments and presents a definition of the state which emphasises its mode of intervention on the collective and social conditions of capitalisms which are money and labour power. The emphasis on the contradiction between these two types of monetary functions gives a more fundamental account of the conflict between the international role and the national origin of the dollar than the Triffin dilemma which has been constantly overcome or deferred by the US since 1960. The author explains this evolution by demonstrating how from the 1950s onwards the dollar began a process of acquiring relative autonomy from the US economy. By focusing on the role and international functions of the dollar he offers a fresh look at the 2008 crisis and its consequences for the international monetary system but also for a possible post-capitalist financial system – which post-revolutionary Russia experimented with in the form of the NEP and whose contemporary implementation is foreshadowed by the rise of digital central bank currencies. The book thereby provides a necessary update to the tools and concepts inherited from Marx for analysing and understanding money capital and the state. | Money and Capital A Critique of Monetary Thought the Dollar and Post-Capitalism

Ibbs and Tillett The Rise and Fall of a Musical Empire

Ibbs and Tillett The Rise and Fall of a Musical Empire

For the greater part of the twentieth century Ibbs and Tillett's concert agency was to the British music industry what Marks and Spencer is to the world of the department store. The roll-call of famous musicians on its books was unmatched and included such international stars as Clara Butt Fritz Kreisler Pablo Casals Sergei Rachmaninov Andr Segovia Kathleen Ferrier Myra Hess Jacqueline du Pr Clifford Curzon and Vladimir Ashkenazy to name but a handful. From 1906 the success of the company was due to the dedication of its founders Robert Leigh Ibbs and John Tillett. After their deaths the agency was run by the latter's wife Emmie who dubbed the 'Duchess of Wigmore Street' became one of the most formidable yet respected women in British music. The history of this unique institution and its owners is told here for the first time often through the fascinating letters that were exchanged between the artists themselves and the agency. It begins in the latter years of the 19th century with the concert and theatrical manager Narciso Vert for whom both Ibbs and Tillett worked until his death in 1905.
