Paperback. Condition: New. The idea of luxury has secured a place in contemporary western culture, and the term is now part of common parlance in both established and emerging economies. This book explores the many issues and debates surrounding the idea of luxury. This new research addresses contentious issues surrounding perceptions of luxury, its relationship to contemporary branding as created by the marketers, and the impact this has on the consumer and their purchasing habits.Crafting Luxury considers work within the field of luxury and luxury brands, encompassing established companies with a long heritage: from conglomerates and small independents to 'new' luxury and emerging models with innovative practices. It examines the industry structures with respect to production, as well as the hierarchies that exist, and the impact these have on both internal and external perceptions of luxury, from the makers to the sellers and consumers alike. Attention is also given to the working structures of the ateliers, production facilities, origin of materials, manufacture and the impact of technology on consumption, the retail environment and sales, all providing a true insider's view of this complex world.The authors - a designer of product and jewellery, a brand strategist and a fashion designer, an architect, and a sociologist and specialist in business management - are practitioners and academics. Their approach to dissecting the complex world of luxury brings distinct viewpoints to the debate, offering different perspectives, thoughts and interpretations of luxury.Crafting Luxury will appeal to academics and educators, industry specialists and anyone interested in luxury as a concept. It will appeal to those in a variety of academic and industry disciplines: art history, history, social sciences and humanities with an interest in luxury, fashion studies, design, business, cultural studies and textiles. It will also be valuable to students and researchers in social sciences, humanities, business, design, branding, consumption, retail, architecture, cultural studies, fashion studies and textiles.May also appeal to industry practitioners in retail, design, technology, marketing, the supply chain and manufacture, as well as design professions including architecture, fashion and interior design.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book introduces the idea of accidental collectives: the grouping of people that occurs as a by-product of the automated work of computers. Software has a growing influence in our lives automating and optimising mundane, time-consuming and repetitive tasks. In doing this, groups of people are automatically created as the result of classification and data analysis. Once grouped by the invisible agency of software, people interact and establish new relationships, generating new collectives and communities. With the support of case studies and real-life examples, this work explores the accidental nature of the generation of new social groups and questions the role of software in social interactions. This book introduces the idea of accidental collectives: the grouping of people that occurs as a by-product of the automated work of computers. Once grouped by the invisible agency of software, people interact and establish new relationships, generating new collectives and communities.

Paperback. Condition: New. When we draw basic geometric forms - lines, circles, points - to describe the possible future shape of our buildings and our cities, do we consider what predetermined social interactions are embedded in those forms?Though simple, this question is often overlooked. As generative and analytic algorithms increasingly automate the design of our built environment, the power of basic geometrical notation to affect social meanings becomes both more powerful and more elusive. This book examines how the geometric outcomes of spatialised algorithmic operations influence more complex human experiences of accessibility, belonging, and identity as well as shape the dynamics of equity, connectivity, privacy, and power in architectural and urban spaces.The Hidden Lives of Algorithms draws insights from architecture, urban studies, computer science, design theory, cognitive science, human geography, environmental psychology, and social theory to investigate the intersection of geometry, computation, and social meaning. Grounded in embodied cognition, the book connects fundamental thinking structures to our spatial experience and examines how algorithms operationalise these ideas in real-world design. This book challenges designers to look beyond technical implementation, urging a critical awareness of how computational processes can reinforce or reimagine the social fabric of our shared spaces.

kart. Condition: Sehr gut. XI, 209 S. : Ill. ; 23 cm, Tadelloses Exemplar. - CHAPTER I -- Documentary Film and Observational Cinema in Sardinia -- CHAPTER 2 -- Representation of Culture through Ethnographic Film -- CHAPTER 3 -- Illustrative Documentaries: A Dominant Way of Seeing -- CHAPTER 4 -- Banditi a Orgosolo: An Anthropological Film -- CHAPTER 5 -- Tempus deBaristas: Transcultural Cinema -- Conclusion -- Filmography -- Bibliography. // Visual Anthropology in Sardinia explores the technique, style and methodology of documentary films about Sardinia, investigating how such films construct different experiences and identities, and reflecting on the advantages of the medium of documentary film over written ethnographic texts. Following a discussion of theoretical developments in the area of visual anthropology in the twentieth century, the author turns to case studies of documentary filmmaking related to Sardinia from the fascist era onwards, offering a survey of the particular and somewhat peculiar filmic ethnographic discourse established in relation to Sardinia, which has been constructed to a large extent as an 'Other' to peninsular Italy. The subject is a complex one, ranging across the fields of film studies, anthropology, literary and cultural studies and, to some extent, philosophy. The book enriches scholarship not only on the cultural construction of Sardinia in the popular, political and intellectual imaginary and in its relation to Italy, but also on visual epistemologies and the ethics and practice of ethnographic filmmaking.
