Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers presents new challenges to the environment workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i. e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute this book evaluates fashion trends what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social environmental and political factors should be maintained and business approaches adopted in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion. | Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

This collection invites readers to explore innovative or underexploited ways of working qualitatively with what in Translation Studies may be termed as elusive constructs. The volume adopts a functionalist approach to focus on one such concept namely the notion of translation problem using case studies to illustrate how a significant elusive construct can be addressed empirically. It explores different qualitative research methodologies which although well established in other fields are yet to be extensively used in TS but which may nevertheless prove to be of significance for future studies as they allow elusive concepts typically found in TS to be worked with more coherently. Chapters are structured around two core ideas: first the qualitative systematic analysis of source text content with emphasis on the detection of translation problems as a means of creating efficient frameworks for coherent decision-making from a functional perspective; and secondly the practical process of stereotyping and profiling specific problems within different contexts content types or services to help identify manage and resolve them in a number of settings from research to professional translator training and assessment environments. This book will be of interest to scholars in translation studies particularly those with an interest in qualitative approaches. | A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems
