Jewellery in Context is the doctoral dissertation, edited by Theo Smeets in its first English translation, by the Dutch art historian and design critic Marjan Unger (1946-2018). In this work she initially endeavours to formulate a general definition of jewellery. Yet above all she also analyses to what extent jewellery is associated, across the globe, with different, sometimes contrary issues: all human fears, but also desires, have, in a sense, materialised as objects of adornment, she postulates. This comprehensive approach aimed not least at developing a solid theoretical framework to aid the study of jewellery. Thus the text can already be seen as an outright standard reference work, indispensable for all students of jewellery. However, experts, too, will discover new perspectives on the phenomenon of jewellery.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Dutch art historian and jewellery expert Marjan Unger died back in 2018, at the age of seventy-two. Through her teaching and her myriad projects, exhibitions and publications, she influenced generations of jewellery artists and theorists in the applied disciplines. Yet one of her perhaps most enduring legacies is her doctoral thesis, Sieraad in Context, which she submitted in 2010.Hitherto published only in Dutch, the text was for a long time only accessible to a small group of people. Theo Smeets, professor at the Trier University of Applied Sciences specialising in gemstone and jewellery design, was keenly aware, however, that this is a must read and had made great efforts during Marjan Ungers lifetime to produce an English edition, now available in its entirety and with her permission.In her work, she endeavours to formulate a general definition of jewellery. Yet above all she also analyses to what extent jewellery is associated across the globe with different, sometimes contrary issues: in that all human fears but also desires have, in a sense, materialised around the world as objects of adornment.This comprehensive approach aimed not least to develop a solid theoretical framework to aid the study of jewellery. Thus the text can already be seen as an outright standard reference work, indispensable for all prospective jewellery artists, and experts too will also discover while reading new perspectives on the phenomenon of jewellery. This is an indispensable and enlightening text by one of the most renowned art historians and design theorists, about the work of the great Marjan Unger.

However, experts, too, will discover new perspectives on the phenomenon of jewellery.; Jewellery in Context ist die von Theo Smeets erstmals in englischer Übersetzung herausgegebene Doktorarbeit der niederländischen Kunsthistorikerin und Designkritikerin Marjan Unger (1942-2018). Sie unternimmt in dieser Arbeit zunächst den Versuch, eine allgemeine Definition von Schmuck zu formulieren. Vor allem aber analysiert sie, inwieweit Schmuck weltweit mit verschiedenen, zum Teil gegenläufigen Aspekten assoziiert wird: Alle menschlichen Ängste aber auch Wünsche hätten sich gewissermaßen als Objekte der Zierde materialisiert. Dieser umfassende Ansatz zielte nicht zuletzt darauf ab, einen soliden theoretischen Rahmen als Handreichung für das Schmuckstudium zu entwickeln. Damit gilt der Text bereits jetzt als absolutes Standardwerk und ist ein Muss für alle Schmuckstudierenden. Aber auch Experten werden bei der Lektüre neue Perspektiven auf das Phänomen Schmuck entdecken. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9783897905795
