  • 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).

    Acknowledgments Thanks to all at Island Press, including but not only Heather Boyer and Mike Fleming. For their patience, thanks are due to the loves of my life—my wife, Jude, and my children, Josh, Hanna, and Ellie Reid. Thanks also to my Kickstarter backers, listed overleaf. As much of this book is based on original research, it has involved wading through personal papers and dusty archives. Librarians in America and the UK proved to be exceptionally helpful. It was wonderful—albeit distracting— to work in such gob-stoppingly beautiful libraries such as the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, and the library at the Royal Automobile Club in London. I paid numerous (fruitful) visits to the National Cycling Archive at the Modern Records Centre at Warwick University, and while this doesn’t have the architectural splendor of the former libraries, it more than made up for it in the wonderful array of records deposited by the Cyclists’ Touring Club and other bodies. I also looked at Ministry of Transport papers held in The National Archives in Kew, London (which is the most technologically advanced archive I have ever visited, but the concrete building leaves a lot to be desired). Portions of chapters 1 and 6 were previously published in Roads Were Not Built for Cars (Carlton Reid, Island Press, 2015). However, I have expanded the content, including adding more period sources.

It’s a festivefestive I holiday, so why not include the four-leggeded members ofof the family? Although it’s fun to dress man’s best friend upup forfor Halloween, local veterinarians suggest extra attention for petspets around the spooky holiday to avoid physical and mentaltal stress. Dr. Daniel Everett, local veterinarian, said therehere are several things pet owners should be aware of comecome Hal- loween. First is food. For some families, pets areare like their children; they want to treat them just like everyoneryone else. Pets should generally not receive any kind of candy,y, Everett said.said. “Dog treats are not made for kids and kid treatseats are not made for dogs,” Everett said simply. It doesn’t take sugary treats to cause upset stomachstomachs in pets, he said. Any change in diet can throw an animal’smal’s digestivedigestive system off, causing diarrhea and vomiting. One way to avoid dogs and cats getting into candy is to put the pets in interior rooms of the house, away fromrom windows, doors and the candy bowl. That way, pets can’tt get to the treats, and they aren’t outside to get any specialal treats fromfrom passersby.

  • History and Temporal Tourism
    "SO YOU WANT TO BE A RETRONAUT?”: HISTORY AND TEMPORAL TOURISM Tiffany L. Knoell A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2020 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kenneth Borland Graduate Faculty Representative Esther Clinton Thomas Edge © 2020 Tiffany L. Knoell All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor In “So You Want to Be A Retronaut?”: History and Temporal Tourism, I examine how contemporary individuals explore and engage with the past beyond the classroom through nostalgic consumerism, watching historical reality television, visiting historical sites or living history museums, handling historical objects, and, in many cases, participating in living history or historical re-enactment. The phrase “make America great again” taps directly into a belief that our nation has been diverted from a singular history that was better, purer, or even happier. What it ignores, though, is that the past is fraught for millions of Americans because their history – based on generations of inequality – is not to be celebrated, but rather commemorated for those who died, those who survived, and those who made their place in a nation that often didn’t want them. To connect to that complicated history, many of us seek to make that history personal and to see a reflection of who we are in the present in the mirror of past. For this project I conducted 54 interviews of subjects gathered from a variety of historically significant commemorations and locations such as the 2013 and 2015 memorial observances at Gettysburg, PA, and sites at Mount Vernon, Historic Jamestowne, and Colonial Williamsburg, VA.
