Omschrijving
Drawing from American history, fashion design, visual culture, museum studies, and women’s history, among others, this book explores the challenges, rewards and benefits of teaching business and the labor history of art and design professions to those in higher education.
"With the rebellion of creative workers in museums, design studios, newsrooms, and Hollywood, this collection on the teaching of labor history comes just in time. In offering innovative pedagogy with fascinating case studies and powerful critique, Pyun, Quan, and their contributors break down that old dichotomy between art and labor. Luxury has come with a cost to those who make beauty possible. Chapters address the place of art and design in the history of capitalism, the example of the Bauhaus in exploring the tension between style and staging, the extracurricular commemoration as a way to deploy art for evoking memory around the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, and the role of intermediaries in the selling of goods."
- Eileen Boris, Hull Professor of Feminist Studies, University of California Santa Barbara, author of Art and Labor: Ruskin, Morris, and the Craftsman Ideal in America and Making the Woman Worker: Precarious Labor and the Fight for Global Standards, 1919-2019.
