Drawing on the growing research on silk?s cultural, social, economic, and intellectual implications, these chapters provide a fresh look at how technical processes have been historically shaped to define the identity of silk. Calling the technical system that has generated ideas about silk a form of textile seri-technics, this volume presents historical case studies that, sampled from diverse cultural regions, exemplify major technological processes and practices of silk textile production. The contributions tackle five technical attributes and principles of action that have come to make- up historical seri-technics. 610 $ahistory of technology 610 $asilk production 610 $aglobalization 610 $aMPRL 610 $aEdition Open Access 610 $ahuman and social sciences 610 $amaterial culture 610 $ahistory of science 700 $aGiorgio Riello$4auth$01364683 702 $aDagmar Schäfer$4auth 702 $aLuca Molà$4auth 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910420940703321 996 $aSeri-technics$93386202 997 $aUNINA
