Is the revolution hanging in your closet Wearable Utopias explores the promise of wearables for reimagining social and political problems of today into diverse and inclusive worlds for tomorrow. Kat Jungnickel, Ellen Fowles, Katja May, and Nikki Pugh entangle science and technology, gender, and cultural studies with contemporary issues to highlight the role wearables can play in forging alternate paths through conventional landscapes. Featuring 24 interviews with new and established international designers, the collection covers everything from coats designed to protect digital privacy to high-performing jeans that combat air pollution to hi-vis cyclewear that responds to urban harassment. The interviews in Wearable Utopias are organized into six key themes addressing pressing civic issues: expanding (wearables that push physical, social, and political boundaries); moving (wearables that enable a wide range of sport and activities); concealing (wearables that defend privacy or keep secrets); connecting (wearables that link individuals to large scale issues); leaking (wearables that challenge the idea that urinating and menstruating is problematic or taboo); and working (wearables that address inequalities in the workplace). Wearable Utopias  offers insight and inspiration for students, researchers, designers, and anyone making things to wear who are frustrated with daily inequities and normative limitations and want to do things differently. 001562184 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001562184 650_0 $$aClothing and dress$$xSocial aspects. 001562184 650_0 $$aWearable technology$$xSocial aspects. 001562184 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001562184 7001_ $$aFowles, Ellen,$$eauthor. 001562184 7001_ $$aMay, Katja,$$eauthor. 001562184 7001_ $$aPugh, Nikki,$$eauthor. 001562184 852__ $$bebk 001562184 85640 $$3MIT Press$$uhttps://doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/15029.001.0001?locatt=mode:legacy$$zOnline Access through The MIT Press Direct 001562184 85642 $$3OCLC metadata license agreement$$uhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf 001562184 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1562184$$pGLOBAL_SET 001562184 980__ $$aBIB 001562184 980__ $$aEBOOK 001562184 982__ $$aEbook 001562184 983__ $$aOnline
