Subject: FW: Call for the Second Special Issue of the Journal of Design, Business and Society: Issue 4.3
Dear Colleagues,
Just to remind you that the call for the second special issue of the Journal of Design, Business and Society (issue 4.3) is the 30th of March 2019.
As with the previous issue all papers are double blind peer reviewed. Thank you to those who have already submitted. We will be in touch shortly.
We are currently exploring two options for the 2020 IPOL conference which will be focused on luxury, innovation and technology. We are looking at May in Mountain View, CA or Florence, Italy. We will know by the end of February. We also want to gather some feedback on whether you’d be happy submitting a two minute video introduction along with your abstract for possible use in our social media campaign.
We very much look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards Nick.

Call for Papers for the 2nd Special Issue: The Space of Luxury
Editor: Shaun Borstrock, University of Hertfordshire
How sustainable is a luxury model dictated to by fashion and business, which requires ever-larger segments of the global population to consume and produce luxury, in faster cycles? What are the costs of continuing along this trajectory, and indeed what are the forces that create and fulfil the desire for luxury, and that uphold its existence in a variety of incarnations along a continuum stretching from the bespoke and rarefied to "new" luxury?
The irony of the "democratization" of luxury is subject to analysis as is the mythology of labour, upheld by marketing, media and public relations where ground level operations in stores are aspirational and while production, which happens a layer below the surface, is obscured. It is at the level of production where artisans practice their craft and where others perform labour. It is here that costs may be cut and workers deskilled and labour subject to the logic of scientific management. It is also the point at which artisans and factory workers alike may be integrated into the culture and philosophy of the company in a way that enriches their lives.
