This book explores what happens when fashion discourse migrates from specialised media to mainstream newspapers. Analysis of 2,263 texts across five Dutch and international case studies (animal welfare, disability, repair practices, smart wearables, and metaverse fashion) demonstrates systematic reversal: instead of creating desire, it provokes aversion; instead of fostering inclusion, it reinforces marginalisation; instead of encouraging creativity, it stokes speculative investment appetites.Drawing on Barthes's semiology of fashion, Foucault’s discourse theory, and Lotman’s concept of the semiosphere, the book introduces critical discursive matrix analysis as a method for examining fashion at its periphery. The findings reveal that when fashion intersects with social issues in mainstream media, it becomes colonised by other discursive systems - medical, civic, technology, and financial - while fashion industry voices retreat, replaced by NGOs, activists, and technology companies pursuing non-fashion agendas. The volume provides insights into why sustainability efforts fail despite awareness, how media representation shapes consumer behaviour, and why fashion discourse cannot evolve within its commercial framework.Public Discourse and the Fashion Industry will engage a diverse audience, including fashion studies scholars, discourse analysts, media researchers, sustainability practitioners, policymakers, fashion industry strategists, and communication specialists.

In The Jewish Museum: History and Memory, Identity and Art from Vienna to the Bezalel National Museum, Jerusalem Natalia Berger traces the history of the Jewish museum in its various manifestations in Central Europe, notably in Vienna, Prague and Budapest, up to the establishment of the Bezalel National Museum in Jerusalem. Accordingly, the book scrutinizes collections and exhibitions and broadens our understanding of the different ways that Jewish individuals and communities sought to map their history, culture and art. It is the comparative method that sheds light on each of the museums, and on the processes that initiated the transition from collection and research to assembling a type of collection that would serve to inspire new art.
