Le chanvre, matière à transitions
Elisabetta Bucolo / Véronique Maire
Filling a gap in the literature on the subject, this book offers a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary, and multi-faceted approach to hemp, addressing a complex web of issues. It is now a subject of research shared by designers, engineers, agronomists, sociologists, and historians, as well as students, teachers, local authorities, farmers, cooperatives, and professionals in the construction, textile, and agri-food industries, among others.
They are all brought together here through texts, analyses, interviews, testimonials, and photographs.
This book, rich in content and formats, listens to those who work with this plant or material on a daily basis, as well as those who work to promote it, and thus questions its representations. It shows how design students take the material and turn it into objects, notably by presenting the tools and supports developed by students at the ÉSAD in Reims. Ultimately, it contributes to understanding the integration of hemp into the world from an economic, political, social, and environmental perspective.
