Sinopsis

History of Runways explores how fashion shows evolved from exclusive gatherings to global media events, shaping fashion trends and reflecting societal values. The book argues that runways are more than just platforms for displaying clothes; they are carefully constructed narratives. For instance, early fashion presentations in private salons, spearheaded by figures like Charles Worth, laid the groundwork for organized fashion displays. This evolution involved shifts in audience dynamics, designer roles, and technological impacts, including the rise of ready-to-wear and celebrity culture.

The book traces the development of runway shows through the 20th and 21st centuries, highlighting the impact of globalization and digital media. Contemporary fashion shows are analyzed as multimedia spectacles, using digital media, live streaming, and social media to amplify their reach. The book uses archival photographs, historical accounts, and industry interviews to provide a nuanced understanding of runway history.

It uniquely focuses on the experiential elements of fashion shows, examining how designers employ staging, music, and lighting to create immersive environments. The book progresses chronologically, beginning with the historical context of early fashion presentations and culminating in an analysis of contemporary fashion shows. This approach offers valuable insights for designers, marketers, and cultural critics, making it a significant contribution to design history and fashion culture.

Danel Olson

A collection of essays by female horror writers exploring portrayals of diabolical mothers in both modern and classic horror films.The concept of motherhood, often idealized as the epitome of unconditional love and nurturing, has been twisted and perverted in various cinematic works to explore darker, more complex human dynamics. Led by Bram Stoker, Shirley Jackson Award, and two-time World Fantasy Award winning editor and acclaimed film professor Danel Olson, the essayists introduce listeners to traditional portrayals of mothers in film and literature, establishing a baseline for understanding how diabolical motherhood deviates from the norm.From a historical overview tracing the evolution of malevolent maternal figures in cinema, from early depictions of wicked stepmothers in fairy tales to the complex, to multifaceted monstrous matriarchs of contemporary films, these essays explore the psychological underpinnings of diabolical motherhood, drawing on author's personal experiences, anecdotes, and research to understand the motivations and mental states driving these characters in a wide range of horror films. The essays offer a deeper understanding of how cinema reflects and shapes our perceptions of motherhood, morality, and power. A must-listen for horror aficionados.

P FKN R - How Bad Bunny Became...

Petra R. Rivera-Rideau, Vanessa...

"Aquí mataron gente por sacar la bandera/Por eso es que ahora yo la llevo donde quiera."

Offering a portrait of the past and future of Puerto Rican resistance through one of its loudest and proudest voices, P FKN R draws on interviews with musicians, politicians, and journalists as well as ethnographic research to set Bad Bunny and Puerto Rican resistance in a historical, political, and cultural context. Authors Vanessa Díaz and Petra Rivera-Rideau—creators of the "Bad Bunny Syllabus"—demonstrate Bad Bunny's place in a long tradition of infusing joy and protest into music and honor the many, evolving forms of daily resistance to oppression and colonialism that are part of Puerto Rican life.
