Serena Sabatini, "The Textile Revolution in Bronze Age Europe: Production, Specialisation, Consumption"
English | ISBN: 1108493599 | 2020 | 106 pages | PDF | 55 MB
Textile production and the introduction of wool and woolen textiles represented a great revolution in Bronze Age Europe at the dawn of the second millennium BC. The available contemporary written sources from the Mediterranean and Near East suggest that textile production had a strong impact on the cultural, social, and economic life. In most parts of continental Europe, however, archaeological material alone can help us understand the details relating to textile production and its wider importance to early societies. This book provides new insights on patterns of production, specialization, and consumption of textiles in Europe throughout the Bronze Age. Assembling a diverse array of studies on various aspect of the textile production and economy, the essays, specially written for this volume, provide a wide range of scientific data as well as archaeological evidence. They also show the great potential of examining early textile production through the use of innovative methodologies and diverse perspectives.

Tad Skotnicki, "The Sympathetic Consumer: Moral Critique in Capitalist Culture "
English | ISBN: 1503614638 | 2021 | 280 pages | PDF | 5 MB
When people encounter consumer goods―sugar, clothes, phones―they find little to no information about their origins. The goods will thus remain anonymous, and the labor that went into making them, the supply chain through which they traveled, will remain obscured. In this book, Tad Skotnicki argues that this encounter is an endemic feature of capitalist societies, and one with which consumers have struggled for centuries in the form of activist movements constructed around what he calls The Sympathetic Consumer.
