[spectre] The Luxury Reader

[Geert Lovink]

From: John Armitage <j.armitage21 at btinternet.com>

Dear all
 
I am currently working with Bloomsbury on a number of book projects related to conceptions of luxury, including co-editing The Luxury Reader.
 
One such tentative project is my editorship of a book series, provisionally entitled “Luxury and …”
 
Consequently, I invite anyone who might be interested in submitting a book proposal for a monograph on themes related to luxury to contact me.
 
Your monograph proposal could focus on the relationship between luxury and: advertising; media; cultural studies; philosophy; literary theory; politics; sociology; anthropology; social/cultural theory; art history; film theory; feminism; video games; graphic art; fashion; textiles; fine art; design; and luxury branding.
 
“Luxury and” will be an inter-disciplinary book series edited by Professor John Armitage at Winchester School of Art-University of Southampton and published by Bloomsbury.
 
Please contact j.armitage at soton.ac.uk for further details concerning your proposal.
 
Best wishes.
 
John
