Because of its unique combination of cost and performance, DMMC is likely to be appropriate for applications in many manufacturing industries. Several all-terrain bicycle (ATB) applications are presently being commercialized. This thesis focuses on the policy Duralcan should follow to market DMMCs to the manufacturers of ATB applications. More specifically, the thesis identifies the combination of performance and price that Duralcan has to offer before DMMC is incorporated into designs for ATB frames, disc brake rotors, and wheel rims.

    Cultural Translations and East Asian Perspectives1 Sarah Cheang and Elizabeth Kramer

    Fashion and East Asia: Cultural Translations and East Asian Perspectives1 Sarah Cheang and Elizabeth Kramer Introduction Fashion speaks to communities across borders, involving inter-lingual processes and translations across cultures, media, and sectors. This special issue explores East Asian fashion as a multifaceted process of cultural translation. Contributions to this special issue are drawn from the AHRC funded network project, ‘Fashion and Translation: Britain, Japan, China and Korea’ (2014-15)2, and the following articles investigate the role of clothing fashions as a powerful and pervasive cultural intermediary within East Asia as well as between East Asian and European cultures. Thinking about East Asia through transnational fashion allows us to analyze creative and cultural distinctiveness in relation to imitation, transformation and exchange, and to look for dialogues, rather than oppositions, between the global and the local. This approach is not only useful but also essential in a world that has been connected by textile trading networks for millennia, and yet feels increasingly characterized by the transnational and by globalized communication. As Sam Maher has asserted, ‘Few industries weave together the lives of people from all corners of the globe to quite the extent that the textile and garment industries do’ (2015-16: 11). The planet is connected through everyday clothing choices, and for millions the industry also provides their livelihood. In her discussion of transcultural art, Julie Codell emphasizes that borders ‘are permeable and liminal, not restrictive spaces’ and that we can see in the production, consumption and reception of transcultural art the coexistence of diverse cultures expressed in ambiguous, discontinuous or new ways (2012: 7).
