Reassembling the Social Interior Book Launch
Please join us for the launch of Reassembling the social interior: historical spaces from contemporary viewpoints, a new book from academic publishers, Manchester University Press, Studies in Design & Material Culture.
This event will include short talks from the book's editors and contributing writers, followed by a Q&A session. Light refreshments will be provided.
About the book:
This edited volume features new and original research, revealing the richly layered work of artists, designers, craftspeople, landscape gardeners and architects, and their contributions to the construction of interiors, and interrelated exteriors, of the past. Surveying a range of historical periods, the book explores collective meanings embedded within the furnishings and fittings of houses and homes, public and private buildings.
Contributors to the book consider how these spaces have powerful significance for contemporary audiences, particularly in ways that are relatable to shared experiences of work, leisure, family, community, power and politics. In Reassembling the social interior: Historical spaces from contemporary viewpoints, the authors describe the communicative and interpretative qualities of works that connect with the present-day, by reflecting on, remaking and re-imagining, places, spaces and objects that once populated people’s lives.
Palatial to austere, Reassembling the social interior: Historical spaces from contemporary viewpoints foregrounds human relationships in the plan, design and creation of homes, interiors and sites of the past.
