'Images in Time' Book Launch

At last nights preview of the photographic exhibition 'Global Style' here at Bath School of Art and Design, we were also lucky enough to be hosting a book launch for 'Images In Time: Flashing forward, backward, in front and behind photography in fashion, advertising and the press' by Aesa Sigurjonsdottir, Michael A. Langkjaer and one our conference organisers Dr Jo Turney!

“Images in Time offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of photography and dress and emerges in response to research undertaken under the umbrella term ‘Wardrobe’. 

The book draws together international critical writings from scholars in anthropology, history, social sciences, the humanities and fashion studies, as well as photographic practitioners and museum curators and archivists, in an attempt to critique and valorize photography as a significant medium in the creation of wider socio-cultural discourse.”

James Campbell- An intellect from Intellect....

Bristol based, Intellect Publishing have joined us here in Bath selling books on the Visual Arts, encompassing fashion, culture, film and creative practice. James Campbell, their representative here today, explained "the importance of covering a wide range of traditionally academically neglected subject matter" and that "through publishing academic papers and research they are addressing this need". Campbell argues the importance of such a conference as this as "it's subject matter is broader than just fashion and reflects issues we all should be taking seriously". He will be keeping a close eye on the lectures over the next few days as Intellect are looking for possible papers to publish- for more information including submitting a paper of your own email james@intellectbooks.com.

Among the forthcoming books to be released by Intellect is the hotly anticipated 'Decadence and Decay: Fashion in the 1970's' by our very own Dr. Jo Turney! Be sure to keep an eye out for it's debut!
