Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

This book presents an architectural overview of Dublin’s mass-housing building boom from the 1930s to the 1970s. During this period Dublin Corporation built tens of thousands of two-storey houses developing whole communities from virgin sites and green fields at the city’s edge while tentatively building four-storey flat blocks in the city centre. Author Ellen Rowley examines how and why this endeavour occurred. Asking questions around architectural and urban obsolescence she draws on national political and social histories as well as looking at international architectural histories and the influence of post-war reconstruction programmes in Britain or the symbolisation of the modern dwelling within the formation of the modern nation. Critically the book tackles this housing history as an architectural and design narrative. It explores the role of the architectural community in this frenzied provision of housing for the populace. Richly illustrated with architectural drawings and photographs from contemporary journals and the private archives of Dublin-based architectural practices this book will appeal to academics and researchers interested in the conditions surrounding Dublin’s housing history. | Housing Architecture and the Edge Condition Dublin is building 1935 - 1975

Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

This book examines the importance of language and writing in psychoanalytic theory and practice offering an understanding of how language works can give a deeper insight into the psyche both in clinical practice and everyday life. Bringing together psychoanalytic insights that hinge on the language of difficult cases this collection also includes contributions dedicated to meta-study of psychoanalytic writing. The first chapter shows how music includes tonal regions that deploy existing rules and syntax alongside atonal ones dominated by caesuras pauses and tensions. The second chapter discusses the malignant ambiguity of revealing and concealing typical of incestuous situations pinpointing how the ambiguous language of incest deceives by means of the truth . The third chapter brings in Virginia Woolf’s character Orlando in order to illustrate two types of gender crossing. Distinctions defined by the linguist Roman Jakobson help in the fourth chapter to offer an integrative description of obsessive-compulsive phenomenon as an interaction between metaphoric and metonymic dimensions as well as with a third psychotic dimension. The fifth chapter focuses on what is called the screen confessions typical of the perpetrator’s language. George Orwell’s newspeak is used here to decipher the specific means by which the perpetrator turns his or her inner witness into a blind one. The final chapter uses Roland Barthes’ concepts of studium and punctum to discuss the limits of psychoanalytic writing. As a whole this book sets the psychoanalytic importance of language in a wider understanding of how language helps to shape and even create internal as well as the external world. Drawing on insights from psychoanalytic theory and practice as well as from linguistics and cultural theory this book will be invaluable for psychoanalysts psychoanalytic psychotherapists and bibliotherapists as well as anyone interested in how language forms our reality. | Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire

The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire

In the Later Han period the region covering the modern provinces of Gansu southern Ningxia eastern Qinghai northern Sichuan and western Shaanxi was a porous frontier zone between the Chinese regimes and their Central Asian neighbours not fully incorporated into the Chinese realm until the first century BCE. Not surprisingly the region had a large concentration of men of martial background from which a regional culture characterized by warrior spirit and skills prevailed. This military elite was generally honoured by the imperial centre but during the Later Han period the ascendancy of eastern-based scholar-officials and the consequent increased emphasis on civil values and de-militarization fundamentally transformed the attitude of the imperial state towards the northwestern frontiersmen leaving them struggling to achieve high political and social status. From the ensuing tensions and resentment followed the capture of the imperial capital by a northwestern military force the deposing of the emperor and the installation of a new one which triggered the disintegration of the empire. Based on extensive original research and combining cultural military and political history this book examines fully the forging of military regional identity in the northwest borderlands and the consequences of this for the early Chinese empires. | The Collapse of China's Later Han Dynasty 25-220 CE The Northwest Borderlands and the Edge of Empire
