Abstract

This book presents the fatigue properties of structural materials used for the production of ceramics. It explains the cyclic deformation and how failures occur by fatigue. Dislocations related to fatigue are examined. The way that fatigue induces structural changes in material undergoing cyclic deformation is explained as well. A special chapter considers the importance of environmental effects on fatigue. Surface treatment such as shot pinning, sand blasting and laser treatment are described. The book explains how design should be carried out considering all the major factors leading to reduced fatigue resistance.

Abstract

A Cultural History of Twin Beds challenges our most ingrained assumptions about intimacy, sexuality, domesticity and hygiene by tracing the rise and fall of twin beds as a popular sleeping arrangement for married couples between 1870 and 1970. Modern preconceptions of the twin bed revolve around their use by couples who have no desire to sleep in the same bed space. Yet, for the best part of a century, twin beds were not only seen as acceptable but were championed as the sign of a modern and forward-thinking couple. But what lay behind this innovation? And why did so many married couples ultimately abandon the twin bed?In this book, Hilary Hinds presents a fascinating insight into the combination of beliefs and practices that made twin beds an ideal sleeping solution. Using nuanced close readings of marriage guidance and medical advice books, furnishing catalogues, novels, films and newspapers, this volume offers an accessible and rigorous account of the curious history of twin beds. This is vital reading for those with an interest in cultural history, sociology, anthropology and psychology.

Abstract

By placing medieval sealing practices in a global and comparative perspective, the essays gathered in this volume challenge the traditional understanding of seals as tools of closure and validation in use since the dawn of civilization. Far from being a universal technique, sealing is revealed as a flexible idiom, selectively deployed to mediate entangled identities: the introduction of Buddhism in early medieval China; the Islamization of Sasanian and Byzantine cultures; even the advancement of diplomacy from northern Europe to Indonesia.

Abstract

Bijoux fantaisie, exotiques ou « ethniques » contre bijoux précieux, classiques, « de famille », les bijoux hier déclinés à tous les temps se conjuguent aujourd’hui à tous les modes au mépris des frontières spatiales et temporelles. C’est en partant de ce métissage moderne et pour approcher l'énigme de la fascination ou du rejet qu’ils suscitent que Patrizia Ciambelli s’est mise à l’écoute des paroles et des pratiques contemporaines. Loin de réduire les bijoux à la somme de leurs usages, à leur dimension historique ou esthétique d'objets précieux, l’ethnologue cherche à en capter les éclats fugaces entre la présence et l'absence, le secret et le dévoilement, l’oubli et le souvenir. Elle jette ici un pont entre présent et passé en éclairant tant les coutumes de jadis attachées à leur acquisition, à leur port, à leur conservation et à leur transmission que les manipulations et innovations actuelles, marques d’une volonté de rupture et de singularisation. Dans tous les cas, acheter un bijou, l’offrir, le vendre, le transformer, le perdre ou l’abandonner sont autant d’actes par lesquels un individu se pose comme personne et affiche la nature des relations qu’il entretient avec les autres. Du côté des femmes surtout, interlocutrices privilégiées en ce domaine, le « parler bijoux » a révélé, tout autant que les singuliers pouvoirs prêtés à ces objets, les manières dont ils scandent et ordonnent des parcours et des destins. Secrets de famille, indiscrètes révélations, amours et ruptures, comme les bijoux qui les signent, peuvent être montrés ou cachés, vrais ou faux, enfouis dans les mémoires comme dans des coffrets et s’en échapper lorsque la parole les entrouvre...

Abstract

La presente etude propose une approche technologique de la ceramique rubanee, au travers de l'etude de huit sites localises dans le quart nord-est de la France et en Belgique (5300-4900 av. J.C.). Les etudes typologiques de la ceramique rubanee avaient abouti a une perception plutot homogene des assemblages et l'analyse des decors avait permis la mise au point de sequences chronologiques particulierement precises. Pourtant, plusieurs questions restaient en suspens, en particulier sur le contexte de production des vases, ainsi que sur l'origine des producteurs de la ceramique dite du Limbourg,

Abstract

The study of specialized craft production has a long tradition in archaeological research. Through analyses of material remains and the contexts of their production and use, archaeologists can examine the organization of craft production and the economic and political status of craft producers. This study, which was originally published in 2003, combines archaeological and historical evidence from the author's twenty years of fieldwork at the imperial capital of Vijayanagara to explore the role and significance of craft production in the city's political economy of the fourteenth to the seventeenth century. By examining a diverse range of crafts from poetry to pottery, Sinopoli evaluates models of craft production and expands upon theoretical and historical understandings of empires in general and Vijayanagara in particular. It is the most broad-ranging study of craft production in South Asia, or in any other early state empire.

Abstract

In Speculative Everything Dunne and Raby continue to inspire and challenge us to consider design as a unique mode of sociocultural inquiry. Rather than resigning design to either problem solving or styling, what Dunne and Raby offer is a vibrant practice of using design to materialize and experiment with alternate worldviews and futures. Speculative Everything is an important contribution to the field of design and should be read widely. Carl DiSalvo ,author of Adversarial Design In a period where existing systems are reaching their effective limits, Speculative Everything describes an expanded and refreshing role for design. Dunne and Raby show how speculative design can stimulate debate and reveal choices that exist beyond the constraints of existing business, social, and technological approaches. Tim Brown ,CEO, IDEO Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby have set out to change the landscape of contemporary design. They remind us that design is about asking questions, as well as answering them. Speculative Everything, their provocative manifesto, is an intriguing contribution to the search for a new direction for design. Deyan Sudjic ,Director, Design Museum, London
