[ES] This work analyses several cases of legal problems arising from a gift or loan of jewellery, in the medieval Islamic matrimonial context. In fact, she receives several gifts containing jewellery from her husband, which will form part of her property after her wedding. On the other hand, the father also gives an important set of jewellery to his daughter, but they are often lent to him with the intention of being returned to him at a later date. Two of the gifts studied here contain sarta1 of aljófar, gold clays and silver cabinets. All of them are jewellery that has already been described in the emography work as part of the decorations traditionally carried by the nose in its wedding in the current Maghreb. ; Peer reviewed ; [ES] This work analyses several cases of legal problems arising from a gift or loan of jewellery, in the medieval Islamic matrimonial context.

[ES] This work analyses the symbology of the breast jewellery that women attended on festivals and solemnities in Peru's virreinate during the early years of the 18th century. It is an adjacent reading which is based on a double syndicate, considering women's hearts as metal loyalty and their breast jewellery as a political symbol and part of the total festive simulation. In particular, I will take the entries in the outstanding news journal in Lima and news from Europe (1700-1711).

International audience ; Les bijoux monétaires, complexes à étudier, sont pourtant de riches témoins de l'économie, de la politique et de la culture dans l'Antiquité. Dans son étude méthodologique des pendentifs monétaires de la nécropole de Birka (Suède), Florent Audy explique très justement qu'il est souvent aisé de laisser ces objets de côté, notamment car ils se situent aux confins de deux disciplines bien distinctes1. Considérés par les numismates comme des bijoux et par les archéologues comme des sujets numismatiques, ces objets sont rarement envisagés comme des documents à part entière.

Social awakening is connected with mobilization and modernization of the society in all means. In the era of modernization liberty, fraternity and equality are given the importance. This awakening emerges in gradual and steady process in all the human societies. The social consciousness awakening and political identity in the south Indian states gradually emerged as a continuation of the politico-social movements that took place in India owing to the impact of western political thoughts and growth of English education. As a prelude to the social awakening, the spread of political consciousness worked as a contributory factor.

India has toppled China to become world's largest buyer of the gold in 2015. Gold is sensitively attached with the Indians and they prefer buying gold in the form of jewellery. The Central Government has come up with three gold schemes on 5th November, 2015 i.e., Gold Monetisation scheme, Sovereign Gold Bond scheme and India Gold Coin scheme to reduce the requirements of gold through imports. The less volatile nature of gold attracts the Indian consumers to choose gold as the best investment option. Nearly, 20,000 tonnes of gold are idle with Indian households, temples etc. which is not being traded or monetised in the form of jewellery. The accomplishment of economically stable gold investment schemes can bring changes in our economy. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the three gold schemes in detail and probable impact of gold schemes on current account deficit (CAD). This paper discuss about the probable advantages and disadvantages of Gold schemes. It also talks about the major concerns that may hinder the success of gold schemes. Finally, the study makes some suggestions to develop gold market and monetise 20,000 tonnes of gold held by households and temples in the country.

In this article, I mobilise a Global Production Networks (GPN) approach to study a campaign seeking to impact mining practices by targeting a key consumer market: gold jewellery. In doing so, I make two contributions. The first is empirical: documenting this exploratory campaign and mapping activist strategies and outcomes against the gold production network. The second is theoretical: evaluating whether the GPN toolkit can help explain how the nature of a commodity and its markets impact activist strategies and outcomes. Recasting industries as sites of social struggle, a GPN approach offers a more nuanced understanding of the power permeating markets than more conventional supply chain analyses. The results clarify the challenges activists face when politicising industries by targeting brands, particularly in the extractives sector. But the findings also illuminate opportunities, including the more subtle pathways of activist influence as they: i) gather and disseminate information, ii) place social and environmental issues on the industry agenda, iii) spur industry to create institutions around these issues, iv) insert themselves and their agenda into the production network, and v) form alliances with industry actors pushing for change.

Shame campaigns aim to change industry practices by targeting the reputational value of individual firms. They occupy a contested political space from which they leverage existing inequalities in the market to redress political inequalities on the ground. Two such campaigns – the No Dirty Gold and Global Finance campaigns – are assessed based upon their ability to overcome the limitations of relying on markets for leverage and selectively targeting firms directly. While activists connect companies' right to profit with social and environmental responsibilities, they do not directly tackle over-consumption and have done little work to reduce economic inequality. However, campaigners work to rectify existing political inequalities through their efforts to promote transparency, supply educational information, and facilitate inclusive debate amongst stakeholders. While shame campaigns reflect many of the inherent contradictions of global civil society, activists manage to challenge unwanted industry activities by circumventing the state institutions that facilitate their imposition.

How does it feel, how does it feel? To be without a home Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone… -Bob Dylan 1965 2016 was the Year of Italian Innovation, Architecture & Design and marked a collaboration between the Italian Cultural Institute (ICI) Edinburgh and Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) and The University of Edinburgh. Stephen Bottomley, the then Head of Department of Jewellery and Silversmithing at ECA, was approached by ICI with a view to organising a series of events focusing on and celebrating gemmology and contemporary jewellery with events taking place between them. Stephen Bottomley + Susan Cross invited three Italian Jewellery artists: Maria Rosa Franzin, Gigi Mariani and Gabi Vietalong side seven UK artists to explore themes of relocation, transplantation, camouflage, identity and materiality through mixed media work in their jewellery, using geology and geophysics and fieldwork in North Berwick, an area frequently visited by the Geologist James Hutton, as a backdrop to the political themes surrounding population displacement. In the year following the Edinburgh workshop, the project has been developed in the artists home countries and exhibitions planned in Munich and Edinburgh over 2018 with support from the School of Jewellery, Birmingham City University.

Thoughts between the Land and the Sea: Raising the Doggerland Solo exhibition at Gallery SO- September 2019 Thoughts between the Land and Sea; Raising the Doggerland was a solo show held throughout September in Gallery S O, London. The exhibition showcased a fusion of jewellery works, wall mounted art works, film, animation and written text. Research sought to expand, interrogate and visualise socio-political possibilities through the mediums of Jewellery and interdisciplinary art forms. Jewellery has a long history of worn objects signifying political stance- green and purple jewelleries of the suffragettes, yearly displays of red and white poppies and the 'fuck thatcher' pins of Scottish Socialists. This exhibition expanded on historical and socio-political possibilities of jewellery through more complex, subtle and interrogating narratives. The exhibition employed multimedia image and object to create a continuous narrative of a raised Doggerland (the sunken patch of land connecting the U.K to Europe) from which the artist reviewed and critiqued the current dilemmas of the U.K. Taking inspiration from art theory and fine art practice works within the output. "Doggerland" challenged traditional questions of autonomy/symbiosis within jewellery, wearability, role of research within jewellery production and presented jewellery as social documents contained within individual titled document folders/books. Library research included philosophy, journalism and social theory, of particular importance was the work of Roland Bathes (Mythologies), Simon Critchly (Notes on Suicide), Greek Mythology and contemporary British press. The use of fictionalised dystopian lands to provide narrative structure for artworks was also researched via including the artworks of T.Shaney and D.Hirst and in writing via Orwell. Described by craft-critic Martina Margetts as a 'prodigious narrative of resistance and transcendence'. "Doggerland" has been used as founding material for lectures during its run at Gallery SO (receiving the highest footfall for a talk at the gallery), Glasgow School of Art and the RCA. Many of the artwork's will be showcased at Collect 2020.
