Emerging from the world of commercial art and product styling, design has now become completely integrated into human life. Its marks are all around us, from the chairs we sit on to the Web sites on our computer screens. One of the pioneers of design studies and still one of its most distinguished practitioners, Victor Margolin here offers a timely meditation on design and its study at the turn of the millennium and charts new directions for the future development of both fields. Divided into sections on the practice and study of design, the essays in The Politics of the Artificial cover such topics as design history, design research, design as a political tool, sustainable design, and the problems of design's relation to advanced technologies. Margolin also examines the work of key practitioners such as the matrix designer Ken Isaacs. Throughout the book Margolin demonstrates the underlying connections between the many ways of reflecting on and practicing design. He argues for the creation of an international, interdisciplinary field of design research and proposes a new ethical agenda for designers and researchers that encompasses the responsibility to users, the problems of sustainability, and the complicated questions of how to set boundaries for applying advanced technology to solve the problems of human life. Opinionated and erudite, Victor Margolin's The Politics of the Artificial breaks fresh ground in its call for a new approach to design research and practice. Designers, engineers, architects, anthropologists, sociologists, and historians will all benefit from its insights.

Op basis van boeken, magazines, memoires en boeken met advies tracht de auteur in deze publicatie een beeld te vormen van de meisjesjaren - de tijd van gegenderde vrijheid tussen de kindertijd en het huwelijk - in Engeland op het einde van de negentiende eeuw. In schoolverhalen en heroïsche verhalen over indianenopstanden en de Boerenoorlog, reisavonturen en 'carrièreboeken', met jonge artiesten, verpleegsters, typistes en verhalen voor tienermeisjes kwamen voor het eerst sterke vrouwelijke karakters voor. Deze nieuwe meisjes werkten en verdienden geld, speelden sport, gingen naar de universiteit en begonnen nieuwe paden en manieren uit te stippelen om de wereld rondom hen te verkennen. De auteur trekt de aandacht weg van romantische plots en heteroseksuele liefde, waarmee voorheen de feministische literaire kritiek zich bezig hield en onderzoekt de ontluikende cultuur van de meisjesjaren. Deze meisjescultuur met zijn eigen waarden, normen en gedragscodes suggereert modellen van actieve onafhankelijkheid, die dan pas stilaan geaccepteerd werden voor jonge vrouwelijke adolescenten.

Sinds de tweede helft van de negentiende eeuw staat de geschiedenis bol van verhalen over zwakke en ziekelijke vrouwen. Vrouwen in behandelkamers, op analysecanapés, in zenuwinrichtingen en kuuroorden. Vrouwen kortom van wie lichaam en geest ontregeld zijn. De auteur onderzocht voor dit boek tal van medische en statistische gegevens, boeken over etiquette en opvoeding, brieven, dagboeken en letterkundige werken. Het resultaat is een uitvoerige cultuurhistorische beschrijving van de beelden van het lichaam, de biologie en de ziekten van de vrouw zoals die vroeger leefden en ook nu nog voorkomen binnen de geneeskunde. Het zwaartepunt van het onderzoek ligt op de decennia rond 1900, een periode die gekenmerkt werd door een intensieve medicalisering van het vrouwelijk lichaam.

Tomko blazes a new trail in dance scholarship by interconnecting U.S. History and dance studies.... the first to argue successfully that middle-class U.S. women promoted a new dance practice to manage industrial changes, crowded urban living, massive immigration, and interchange and repositioning among different classes." -Choice From salons to dance halls to settlement houses, new dance practices at the turn of the century became a vehicle for expressing cultural issues and negotiating matters of gender. By examining master narratives of modern dance history, this provocative and insightful book demonstrates the cultural agency of Progressive-era dance practices.
