Design History Beyond the Canon
Author: Jennifer Kaufmann-Buhler
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350051594
Category : Design
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Design History Beyond the Canon subverts hierarchies of taste which have dominated traditional narratives of design history. The book explores a diverse selection of objects, spaces and media, ranging from high design to mass-produced and mass-marketed objects, as well as counter-cultural and sub-cultural material. The authors' research highlights the often marginalised role of gender and racial identity in the production and consumption of design, the politics which underpins design practice and the role of designed objects as pathways of nostalgia and cultural memory. While focused primarily on North American examples from the early 20th century onwards, this collection also features essays examining European and Soviet design history, as well as the influence of Asia and Africa on Western design practice. The book is organised in three thematic sections: Consumers, Intermediaries and Designers. The first section analyses a range of designed objects and spaces through the experiences and perspectives of users. The second section considers intermediaries from both technology and cultural industries, as well as the hidden labour within the design process itself. The final section focuses on designers from multiple design disciplines including high fashion, industrial design, interior design, graphic design and design history pedagogy. The essays in all three sections utilise different research methods and a wide range of theoretical approaches, including feminist theory, critical race theory, spatial theory, material culture studies, science and technology studies and art history. Design History Beyond the Canon brings together the most recent research which stretches beyond the traditional canon and looks to interdisciplinary methodologies to better understand the practice and consumption of design.

Digitizing Flat Media
Author: Joy M. Perrin
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442258101
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
Here is a concise guide to the nuts and bolts of converting flat media (books, papers, maps, posters, slides, micro formats, etc) into digital files. It provides librarians and archivists with the practical knowledge to understand the process and decision making in the digitization of flat media. Instead of having to learn by trial and error, they will get a well-rounded education of the practical aspects of digitization and have a better understanding of their options. This is the stuff they don’t teach you in school. People can be lured into thinking that all it takes to digitize something is a scanner and some metadata. This guide illustrates the practical aspects of digitization such as: the physical challenges of scanning books without cutting the spine, the differences between a “scanner” that uses a scanning head vs a “scanner” that uses a camera, the different options for workflow for digitized items, and the reasons for choosing one scanner over another for reasons other than price. Digitizing Flat Media: Principles and Practices is intended to give librarians and archivists the benefit a seasoned digitization professional guiding them and helping them figure out exactly what needs to be done when.

Economic Considerations for Libraries, Archives and Museums
Author: Lorraine A. Stuart
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100047352X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Economic Considerations for Libraries, Archives and Museums provides insight into the economics of collaboration across Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LAMs) and cultural heritage funding. Drawing together a series of global reflections on the past, present and future of cross-sector approaches to preserving and promoting cultural heritage, this volume examines the economic prospects of LAMs from a variety of facets. Divided into five sections, the book covers the five most important areas in the development and sustainability of collaborative LAM projects: the digital environment; collaborative models; education; funding issues; and alternate sources of funding. Responding directly to the issue of a lack of adequate funding for maintaining and providing access to cultural heritage resources globally, the book argues that cultural heritage institutions must seek creative methods for funding and collaboration at all levels to achieve shared goals. Economic Considerations for Libraries, Archives and Museums will be of interest to all those engaged in the study of library and information science, archival studies, museum studies and digital preservation. Administrators and practitioners will also find much to interest them within the pages of the book.

Sediment Transport and Morphodynamics Modelling for Coasts and Shallow Environments
Author: Vanesa Magar
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0429531591
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
This reference for engineers, and graduate students covers sediment transport and morphodynamics modelling in nearshore environments. It presents the fundamentals required for understanding the physics and for setting up numerical models. This book covers hydrodynamics of estuarine and coastal environments, properties of seafloor and estuarine composition, and hydroenvironmental interactions; emphasising the inter-relations of small- and large-scale processes, and short- and large-evolution timescales. The focus is, principally, on the application of shallow-water theory, but some surface wave models, and coupling of shallow-water models with surface waves is also discussed to some extent. The guidance on running regional models and the case studies presented are directed to managed realignment, coastal protection, climate change impacts, and offshore renewables. Key features: Gives a balanced review of this rich interdisciplinary area Bridges practical engineering and research Offers both large- and small-scale application Suits graduate students and researchers as well as consulting engineers Vanesa Magar is a senior researcher and associate professor at the Centro de Investigación Científica y de Educación Superior de Ensenada (CICESE) in Baja California, Mexico. She was formerly a researcher and then a lecturer at Plymouth University, UK.

Disruptive Technologies in Media, Arts and Design
Author: Alexiei Dingli
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030937801
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This book presents selected proceedings from two installments of the MAD Conference in 2020—MAD Blockchain 2020 and MAD Artificial Intelligence 2020. These events focused on applications of these novel technologies in media, arts and design. A number of researchers present their own projects and practical implementations of blockchain and AI in games, art, education and sustainable living, while other authors explore theoretical and ethical questions that these technologies bring into society. First and foremost, we recommend this book to aspiring scholars and practitioners who are also building new solutions using blockchain and AI. Besides, the book extends the existing scholarship on AI and blockchain and provides proven cases and tools for education in ICT. The conference has been organized by Danube-University Krems, Drexel University Philadelphia and University of Malta with support from the MIT Education Arcade, the Texas A&M LIVE Lab and University of Vaasa.
