Making a case for cases
Display cases are central components of museums, yet, these ubiquitous pieces of furniture have thus far largely escaped scholarly scrutiny. This special issue seeks to remedy this, and in doing so provide new contributions to histories of museums, exhibition cultures, collecting, display, and knowledge production. The five articles included begin to trace histories of display cases, from the great exhibitions of the nineteenth century to nationa…
Curzon’s cases
In 1916 Lord Curzon inherited his ancestral home, Kedleston Hall, and set about planning its renovation. Part of this work was the creation of a new museum in which to display his collection of ‘Eastern’ objects, amassed through his viceregal career and his extensive travels as a young man. The commission of display cases was central to this project. Designed to Curzon’s specifications, drawn from V&A models, cases imported museum modes of displa…

Working with Infrastructural Communities
Retrofit is a rising area of concern for Science and Technology Studies (STS) scholars of infrastructure. This paper sits at the junction between applied and theoretical approaches by using STS to support interventions in urban infrastructure systems and expand STS critique of retrofit. It discusses findings from a multidisciplinary project piloting retrofit possibilities to positively impact the way water, energy, and food resources were consume…

The Zero Energy concept
The moral economy of comfortable living
Comfort in the home depends on material and social connections. From pipes and wires to legal and financial contracts, these connections shape expectations of what comfortable living is and how it can be achieved. These connections create a moral economy that is based on the materiality of housing, and that is revealed as individual households pursue comfortable conditions in reference to external criteria and constraints. This paper explores the…
District heating as heterotopia
The Pimlico District Heating Undertaking ( PDHU ) was London's first attempt at neighborhood heating. Built in the 1950s to supply landmark social housing project Churchill Gardens, the district heating system sent heat from nearby Battersea power station into the radiators of the housing estate. The network is a rare example in the United Kingdom, where, unlike other European states, district heating did not become widespread. Today the heating …

History, Memory and Everyday Environmentalism. The Case of New Belgrade
The authors study experiences of the urban environment in New Belgrade and argue for an understanding of how environmental movements are mobilised and mediated by urban environments. In particular, they focus on the perceptions that have emerged through historical processes of state-driven urban development and urban appropriation by the population when the state retreated . Today, future visions of the city-to-be intersect with the lived reality…
Gender, Sexuality, Body Image and Eating Behaviours
One hundred and twenty one participants reported sexual orientation, body mass index, body shape concerns, eating motives and eating styles. Measures of body dissatisfaction were greater in heterosexual women and homosexual men (ps <.05), while heterosexual women had smaller (ps <.001) ideal body shapes. Eating weight control motive was lower in heterosexual men compared to women (ps <.05). Restrained eating was lower in heterosexual men compared…
