Design history has evolved over recent decades through engagement with issues of gender and consumption; investigations of business practice; an extension of the field's chronological coverage and theoretical engagements with a wide array of cognate disciplines such as art history, literary criticism, cultural history, sociology, anthropology and the history of science.All of this has enriched this still-young scholarly field, but since its emergence as a discrete field of study in the 1970s, design history's geography has remained firmly centred on Europe and America. Only in the last few years have design historians in Europe and the United States begun to study a broader geography, with particular emphases on Japan, India, China, and Brazil'”and even here, the tendency has been to extend the franchise of the discipline without challenging its basic methodologies. This is also beginning to change with small, but active, design history communities emerging around the globe.Approaches to Global Design History aims to both address and promote these changes by gathering together a number of leading design historians whose research points the way forward., Globalism is often discussed using abstract terms, such as 'e~networks'e(tm) or 'e~flows'e(tm) and usually in relation to recent history. Global Design History moves us past this limited view of globalism, broadening our sense of this key term in history and theory. Individual chapters focus our attention on objects, and the stories they can tell us about cultural interactions on a global scale. They place these concrete things into contexts, such as trade, empire, mediation, and various forms of design practice. Among the varied topics included are: the global underpinnings of Renaissance material culture the trade of Indian cottons in the eighteenth-century the Japanese tea ceremony as a case of 'e~import substitution'e(tm) German design in the context of empire handcrafted modernist furniture in Turkey Australian fashions employing 'e~ethnic'e(tm) motifs an experimental UK-Ghanaian design partnership Chinese social networking websites the international circulation of contemporary architects. Featuring work from leading design historians, each chapter is paired with a 'e~response'e(tm), designed to expand the discussion and test the methodologies on offer. An extensive bibliography and resource guide will also aid further research, providing students with a user friendly model for approaches to global design.�ee Global Design History will be useful for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics and researchers in design history and art history, and related subjects such as anthropology, craft studies and cultural geography., Globalism is often discussed using abstract terms, such as networks " or flows " and usually in relation to recent history.
