sorry for not attending the last thursday lecture but i was in hospital last week. Anywhoo, I think we should have a meeting asap to talk about what we've been given. I think the easiest route to take with the spinning jenny is the industrial revolution

Sounds like a plan! What days will you have spare time to meet up?
ReplyDeleteOther possible directions to take the research:
ReplyDeleteLuddism and its resonances - technophobia, or industrial sabotage for other political/social reasons, for example
the aesthetics of pure functionality ('Ornament is a crime')
the history of cotton - again, political resonances which could be looked at from slavery to contemporary sweatshops.
I'm sure there are many other possible ways to take this forward..
