    Futurescan 4: Valuing Practice University of Bolton, UK 23rd-24th January 2019 ABSTRACTS & BIOGRAPHIES Futurescan 4: Valuing Practice 23rd-24th January 2019 University of Bolton, UK Fashion and textiles practice intersects traditional processes and innovative technologies. Tacit knowledge acquired through hand skills, making, utilising equipment and working with processes is fundamental to developing understanding. Although practical learning is valued, the teaching of creative and making subjects is under threat in formal education. Within the fashion and textile industries there are skills shortages. Heritage crafts risk being lost as digital technologies and automation impact upon future generations. The Association of Fashion & Textile Courses (FTC) conference Futurescan 4: Valuing Practice, provides an international forum for the dissemination of research, creative practice and pedagogy surrounding fashion and textiles. Contributions from established and early career researchers, postgraduates, practitioners, makers and educators regarding completed proJects or work in progress under the following topics: • Valuing Artisan Skills, Drawing and Making • Learning from History, Tradition and Industry • Collaborating and Cross-disciplinary Working • Integrating and Connecting Digital Technologies • Designing Responsibly and Working Sustainably • Promoting Diversity, Employability and Community • Investigating Creative Processes and Pedagogy The conference includes keynote speaker presentations, full papers (20-minute presentations), short papers (10-minute presentations) and examples of practice-based work. Association of Fashion and Textile Courses (FTC) The Association of Fashion and Textile Courses (FTC) was formed in 1977. Today, the FTC exists as a subject association to promote and develop fashion and textiles through academic debate, education and research. Through its networks, the FTC has extensive links with industry, public and professional bodies and acts to advise on quality in educational matters nationally and internationally.

  • THE UNIVERSITY of HULL an Empirical Assessment of Consumption Practices in a Revolutionary Epoch: the Case of Egypt and Libya B
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL An empirical assessment of consumption practices in a revolutionary epoch: The case of Egypt and Libya Being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Marketing at the University of Hull by Ahmed Al-Abdin (MSc, MPhil, PgDip, BA) February 2015 Abstract The aim of this thesis was to determine the impact of the recent and ongoing Arab Spring phenomenon on consumption practices in Egypt (Cairo) and Libya (Tripoli). The purpose behind the research was to empirically analyse how the Arab Spring has been driven by consumption and the extent to which consumption has been affected by the Arab Spring. A study was conducted between March-April 2013 in two of the main cities associated with the Arab Spring; Cairo (Egypt) and Tripoli (Libya). Retrospective accounts were obtained to capture citizens past experiences, present experiences and future expectations in order to develop a greater understanding of changing consumption practices. This thesis is grounded firmly in the marketing discipline as much as it is in the social sciences, particularly since the consulted literature is of an interdisciplinary nature and the Arab Spring phenomenon is not only of interest to marketing academics and practitioners but also policy makers and sociologists alike. Change is central to this thesis and citizens are considered the anchor of change. The main findings to emerge from this research are that consumption was a call for the revolution but also a cause of it. Two streams of consumption have been identified. These are conservative and conspicuous consumption. While citizens in Cairo have become more conservative in the present epoch (time of data collection March-April 2013), Libyans have become more conspicuous and are excited to try new modes of consumption.
