"The book builds an original argument for the department store as a significant site of design production, and therefore offers an alternative interpretation to the mainstream focus on consumption within retail history. Emily M. Orr presents a fresh perspective on the rise of modern urban consumer culture, of which the department store was a key feature. By investigating the production processes of display as well as fascinating information about display-making's tools and technologies, the skills of the displayman and the meaning and context of design decisions which shaped the final visual effect are revealed. In addition, the book identifies and isolates 'display' as a distinct moment in the life of the commodity, and understands it as an influential channel of mediation in the shopping experience. The assembly and interpretation of a diverse range of previously unexplored primary resources and archives yields fascinating new evidence, showing how display achieved an agency which transformed everyday objects into commodities and made consumers out of passersby"--

On the unstable boundaries between “interior” and “exterior,” “private” and “public,” and always in some way relating to a “beyond,” the imagery of interior space in literature reveals itself as an often disruptive code of subjectivity and of modernity. The wide variety of interior spaces elicited in literature — from the odd room over the womb, secluded parks, and train compartments, to the city as a world under a cloth — reveal a common defining feature: these interiors can all be analyzed as codes of a paradoxical, both assertive and fragile, subjectivity in its own unique time and history. They function as subtexts that define subjectivity, time, and history as profoundly ambiguous realities, on interchangeable existential, socio-political, and epistemological levels. This volume addresses the imagery of interior spaces in a number of iconic and also lesser known yet significant authors of European, North American, and Latin American literature of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries: Djuna Barnes, Edmond de Goncourt, William Faulkner, Gabriel García Márquez, Benito Pérez Galdós, Elsa Morante, Robert Musil, Jules Romains, Peter Waterhouse, and Émile Zola.

Warum treten Medien auch als Möbel in Erscheinung? Ausgehend von der Beobachtung des Fernsehens als Möbel entwickelt Monique Miggelbrink eine eigene Herangehensweise für die Untersuchung von Medien des häuslichen Gebrauchs. Die »Vermöbelung« des Fernsehens zeigt sich weniger in Formen und Funktionen des technischen Geräts, sondern vielmehr an seinem Gehäuse-Design und entsprechenden Einrichtungspraktiken. Anhand von historischem Quellenmaterial aus Einrichtungs- und Programmzeitschriften, Werbeanzeigen und Fernsehfibeln geht die Studie in einem Kulturvergleich mit den USA den geschlechts- und schichtspezifischen Bedeutungen nach, die sich im Design und Gebrauch von Fernsehgeräten als Möbel in der Wohnkultur der BRD der 1950er- und 1960er-Jahre herausbilden. »Miggelbrinks Studie bietet Anregungen für Untersuchungen gegenwärtiger Medienlandschaften, die von Streamingangeboten und dem ›Internet of Things‹ geprägt sind, und in denen das Mediale gegenüber dem Möbel zu dominieren scheint.« Sophie Gerber, Technikgeschichte, 87/3 (2020) »Der wissenschaftliche Verdienst der Arbeit liegt im Besonderen in der tiefgreifenden Beschäftigung der Autorin mit den gängigen Theorien zur Verhäuslichung.« Petra Witting-Nöthen, Vierteljahresschrift für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte, 1 (2019) »Das Buch [eröffnet] eine spannende Perspektive auf die Weise, wie der Mensch mit Technik interagiert und darauf, wieviel unsere Wohnungen und Einrichtungen sowie die sie verarbeitenden Medien über unsere Gesellschaft aussagen.« Elina Potratz, der architekt, 6 (2018) Besprochen in: www.hhprinzler.de, 01.12.2018, Hans Helmut Prinzler H-Soz-u-Kult, 05.03.2019, Jonathan Voges

In interior design, the definition and popular perception of the interior has long been concerned with bounded spaces, and with the relationship between private and public realms. However, two issues have challenged traditional boundaries between interior and exterior, and private and public: first, the emergence of new technological practices, and second, a broader understanding of diverse cultures. Popular perceptions of public and private space are currently being revised, and the interior...
