Plastics have now been our most used materials for over fifty
years. This book adopts a new approach, exploring plastics'
contribution from two perspectives: as a medium for making and
their value in societal use. The first approach examines the
multivalent nature of plastics materiality and their impact on
creativity through the work of artists, designers and
manufacturers. The second perspective explores attitudes to
plastics and the different value systems applied to them through
current research undertaken by design, materials and socio-cultural
historians. The book addresses the environmental impact of plastics
and elucidates the ways in which they can and must be part of the
solution. The individual viewpoints are provocative and
controversial but together they present a balanced and scholarly
un-picking of the debate that surrounds this ubiquitous group of
materials. The book is essential reading for a wide academic
readership interested in the Arts and Humanities, especially Design
and Design History; Anthropology; and Cultural, Material and Social
Histories.
