        Crafting identities

        Artisan culture in London, c. 1550–1640

        by Jasmine Kilburn-Toppin, Christopher Breward, James Ryan

        Crafting identities explores artisanal identity and culture in early modern London. It demonstrates that the social, intellectual and political status of London's crafts and craftsmen were embedded in particular material and spatial contexts. Through examination of a wide range of manuscript, visual and material culture sources, the book investigates for the first time how London's artisans physically shaped the built environment of the city and how the experience of negotiating urban spaces impacted directly on their distinctive individual and collective identities. Applying an innovative and interdisciplinary methodology to the examination of artisanal cultures, the book engages with the fields of social and cultural history and the histories of art, design and architecture. It will appeal to scholars of early modern social, cultural and urban history, as well as those interested in design and architectural history.

        This is a collection of 20 short stories and 11 mini-novels by Wang Meng.

        Silk and empire

        by Brenda King

        In this book, Brenda M. King challenges the notion that Britain always exploited its empire. Creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship were all part of the Anglo-Indian silk trade and were nurtured in the era of empire through mutually beneficial collaboration. The trade operated within and without the empire, according to its own dictates and prospered in the face of increasing competition from China and Japan. King presents a new picture of the trade, where the strong links between Indian designs, the English silk industry and prominent members of the English the arts and crafts movement led to the production of beautiful and luxurious textiles. Lavishly illustrated, this book will be of interest to those interested in the relationship between the British Empire and the Indian subcontinent, as well as by historians of textiles and fashion.

        Geschichten aus dem Gefängnis

        by Maxim Znak, Henriette Reisner, Volker Weichsel

        In einer auf Zellengröße geschrumpften Welt gewinnt jedes Detail an Bedeutung: die Kakerlake, die ihren Job macht, die Mausefalle, mit der sich die Zeit totschlagen lässt, die seltsamen Rhythmen des kollektiven Schnarchens, wie sie der Schlaflose wahrnimmt.Maxim Znak, ein brillanter Jurist und prominentes Mitglied der belarussischen Oppositionsbewegung, wurde im Herbst 2020 verhaftet und im September 2021 zu zehn Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt. In seinem Zekamerone (von »zek«, dem russischen Akronym für Häftling), das er im ersten Jahr seiner Haft schrieb, erweist er sich als begabter Schriftsteller – pointiert, ironisch und mit erstaunlichem Humor erzählt er in einhundert »mini stories« von seinem neuen Alltag. Seine Geschichten legen Zeugnis ab von Widerstand und Selbstbehauptung, vom leisen und lauten Verrücktwerden. Maxim Znak, Jg, 1982, prominentes Mitglied der belarussischen Oppositionsbewegung und Anwalt von Maria Kalesnikava, sitzt seit dem 9. September 2020 in einem Minsker Gefängnis. Sein »Zekamerone« (von zek, dem russischen Akronym für Häftling), eine Sammlung von einhundert mini stories, hat er während des ersten Jahres in Haft in ein Notizbuch notiert, das nach draußen gelangte.
