By adopting the unusual perspective of several objects of mass consumption, from watches, photographs, and gramophones, to toys, and furniture items, author Luca Cottini examines the transformation of these objects as they enter the market from commercial items into aesthetic and philosophical icons. By focusing on the objects' unique position at the intersection of production and consumption, art and entrepreneurship, The Art of Objects offers a more comprehensive account of the age between the Risorgimento and Fascism, encompassing the masses and the intellectual elite, technology and society, industry and the humanistic tradition. The observation of the slow formation of new languages, forms, practices, and experiences around these objects also provides an early documentation of the creative laboratory of Italy's industrial culture. Through close examination of the cultural significance of these objects as they appear in contemporary art and literature, the book ultimately investigates Italy's critical reception of industrialism, the nation's so-called "imperfect" modernization, and its ongoing quest for an original way to modernity."--$cProvided by publisher 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aManufacturing industries$zItaly$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aManufacturing industries$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aItaly$2fast 608 $aHistory. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aManufacturing industries$xHistory 615 0$aManufacturing industries$xHistory 676 $a338.40945 700 $aCottini$b Luca, $01022442 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796749103321 996 $aThe Art of Objects$93767288 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02696nam 2200589 450 001 9910787611103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-118-45374-3 010 $a1-118-45376-X 035 $a(CKB)2670000000523219 035 $a(EBL)1631066 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001112500 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11605891 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001112500 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11162710 035 $a(PQKB)11166180 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1631066 035 $a(DLC) 2013044991 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1631066 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10837060 035 $a(OCoLC)862575356 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000523219 100 $a20140220h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurunu||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLeading forward $esuccessful public leadership amidst complexity, chaos, and change /$fTim A.

Leading Forward fills that gap by providing a development framework and assessment tool based on the four dimensions of effective leadership-empowerment, fairness, leaders, and supervisors. These four dimensions are critical competencies that leaders must develop in order to succeed now and in the future.
