{"product_id":"stitching-the-self-identity-and-the-needle-arts-9781350242418","title":"Stitching the Self: Identity and the Needle Arts","description":"The needle arts are traditionally associated with the decorative, domestic, and feminine. \u003ci\u003eStitching the Self\u003c\/i\u003esets out to expand this narrow view, demonstrating how needlework has emerged as an art form through which both objects and identities - social, political, and often non-conformist - are crafted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBringing together the work of ten art and craft historians, this illustrated collection focuses on the interplay between craft and artistry, amateurism and professionalism, and re-evaluates ideas of gendered production between 1850 and the present. From quilting in settler Canada to the embroidery of suffragist banners and the needlework of the Bloomsbury Group, it reveals how needlework is a transformative process - one which is used to express political ideas, forge professional relationships, and document shifting identities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a range of methodological approaches, including object-based, feminist, and historical analyses, \u003ci\u003eStitching the Self\u003c\/i\u003eexamines individual and communal involvement in a range of textile practices. Exploring how stitching shapes both self and world, the book recognizes the needle as a powerful tool in the fight for self-expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12427029\"\u003eJohanna Amos\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350242418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350242411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-DES\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-DES013000\"\u003eTextile \u0026amp; Costume\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-CRA\"\u003eCrafts \u0026amp; Hobbies\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-CRA061000\"\u003eFiber Arts \u0026amp; Textiles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-CRA\"\u003eCrafts \u0026amp; Hobbies\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-CRA008000\"\u003eNeedlework | Embroidery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohanna Amos\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor (adjunct) of art, textile, and fashion history at Queen's University, Ontario, Canada \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLisa Binkley\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor in Material Culture, and Indigenous and Settler Women's Histories in the Department of History at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45803582619823,"sku":"9781350242418","price":74.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_b3bcae2d-2d9f-4792-abde-e3b8e6a3a549.jpg?v=1755798489","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/es\/products\/stitching-the-self-identity-and-the-needle-arts-9781350242418","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
