In this second volume of "The fashion trends of Ackermann's Repository" we look into the next 5 years of the life of the periodical, from 1814 until the end of 1818. At this time of his life Rudolph Ackermann is an established print seller, book-seller, publisher and businessman, among other successful ventures. His Repository of Arts shop has grown and now consists of gallery, tea room, circulating library, and he hosts a regular evening talk for invited guests. The periodical is successful and well established, boosting thousands of subscribers. By this time he has created a recognizable brand, especially with his coloured plates, and without subscribing to any political views himself, R. Ackermann continues to deliver cutting edge information on current movements in politics and culture. In its pages The Repository continues to exhibit artwork by those who were not admitted into the Royal Academy, such as engravers, draftsmen and colorists. Ackermann successfully establishes business based on hand coloured aquatint plates, and in 1818 this has made him one of the first British publishers to operate and own lithography press, which explains the appearance of more lithography plates on the pages of the magazine during this period.
This instalment of the series starts with the 11th volume of the publication and ends with volume 6 of the second series. After volume 14 the original series ends, and the second series begin in December of 1815 with volume 1
anew. What necessitated the change was Ackermann's eventual realization that the primary audience of The Repository should be women, and shifted the tone and content of articles toward women, including fashion and cultural events as the primary topics. His shift, along with that of other publishers, encouraged " female consumption by characterizing it as a patriotic and virtuous exhibition of taste in the home." ( Bermingham; Katherine D. Harris).
As of January 1816 the periodical continues with revamped content as Volume 1, Second Series. With this shift, we see the departure of the hunting and military portrait plates, of the first 5 years of the periodical, and the arrival of scenic and romantic travel plates, more consistent continuation of the needlework patterns and the new pictorial cards. The fashion plates offer more variety in dress styles, including the first ones specifically designed for brides. Sadly, for the next 5 years (1814 - 1818) there were no more children or men's fashion styles offered. There is a marked increase in the mourning dresses for every occasion, triggered by the death in childbirth, of the popular Princess Charlotte of Wales.
By the end of 1818 The Repository of Art is the most fashionable place for the upper classes of London to visit. The magazine is eagerly anticipated by society women and has huge influence on the fashion of the day. Regardless of its shifted focus towards subjects more appreciated by the ladies of the time Ackermann continues to depict 19th century England with vibrant detail.

Описание:
An introduction to issues of sexual consent, covering key strands of feminist thought, how sexual consent is negotiated in practice, the influence of popular culture, and more.
The #MeToo movement has focused public attention on the issue of sexual consent. People of all genders, from all walks of life, have stepped forward to tell their stories of sexual harassment and violation. In a predictable backlash, others have taken to mass media to inquire plaintively if "flirting" is now forbidden. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers a nuanced introduction to sexual consent by a writer who is both a scholar and an activist on this issue.
It has become clear from discussions of the recent high-profile cases of Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and others that there is no clear agreement over what constitutes consent or non-consent and how they are expressed and perceived in sexual situations. This book presents key strands of feminist thought on the subject of sexual consent from across academic and activist communities and covers the history of research on consent in such fields as psychology and feminist legal studies. It discusses how sexual consent is negotiated in practice, from "No means no" to "Yes means yes," and describes what factors might limit individual agency in such negotiations. It examines how popular culture, including pornography, romance fiction, and sex advice manuals, shapes our ideas of consent; explores the communities at the forefront of consent activism; and considers what meaningful social change in this area might look like. Going beyond the conventional cisgender, heterosexual norm, the book lists additional resources for those seeking to improve their practice of consent, survivors of sexual violence, and readers who want to understand contemporary debates on this issue in more depth.
