Le Corbusier in the Antipodes Art Architecture and Urbanism

This book considers the architect Le Corbusier’s encounters with Australia and New Zealand as a two-way exchange showing the impact of his ideas and projects on architects of the region whilst also revealing counterinfluences on Le Corbusier in his post-war career that were activated by his contacts. Compiled from detailed archival research undertaken at the Fondation Le Corbusier Paris and nationally based archives Le Corbusier in the Antipodes brings together a set of episodes placing them in context with the history of modern art architecture and urbanism in 20th century Australia and New Zealand. Key exchanges between Le Corbusier and others never before described are presented and analyzed including Le Corbusier’s contact with Australian architect Harry Seidler at Chandigarh Le Corbusier’s drawing of the plan of Adelaide in 1950 and his creative collaboration with Jorn Utzon on art for the Sydney Opera House. This book also includes analysis of previously unseen Le Corbusier artworks which formed part of the Utzon family collection. In reading these personal and contingent moments of encounter the book puts forward new ways of understanding the dissemination and mediation of Le Corbusier’s ideas and their effects in post-war Australia and New Zealand. These antipodean contacts are set against the broader story of Le Corbusier’s career questioning received interpretations of his design methods and current assumptions about the influence of his work in national contexts beyond Europe. | Le Corbusier in the Antipodes Art Architecture and Urbanism

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Maria Scott's study of the operation of irony in Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris contends that the principal target of the collection's spleen is its own readership. Baudelaire as one of the most perceptive cultural commentators of the nineteenth century was naturally very keenly aware of the growing dominance of the bourgeoisie in France not least as a market for art and literature. Despite being dependent on this market for his own writing the poet was highly critical of bourgeois values and attitudes. Scott builds on existing criticism of the collection to argue that these are indirectly mocked in Le Spleen de Paris often in the person of the poet's supposed textual alter ego. The contention is that the prose poems betray the trust of readers by way of an apparent transparency of meaning that functions to blind us to their embedded irony. Though focused on Le Spleen de Paris Scott's study engages with the full range of Baudelaire's writings including his art and literary criticism. Her book will be of interest not only to Baudelaire scholars but also to those engaged more generally with nineteenth-century French culture. | Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Architecture and the Historical Imagination Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc 1814–1879

Hailed as one of the key theoreticians of modernism Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc was also the most renowned restoration architect of his age a celebrated medieval archaeologist and a fervent champion of Gothic revivalism. He published some of the most influential texts in the history of modern architecture such as the Dictionnaire raisonné de l’architecture fran§aise du XIe au XVIe siècle and Entretiens sur l’architecture but also studies on warfare geology and racial history. Martin Bressani expertly traces Viollet-le-Duc’s complex intellectual development mapping the attitudes he adopted toward the past showing how restoration in all its layered meaning shaped his outlook. Through his life journey we follow the route by which the technological subject was born out of nineteenth-century historicism. | Architecture and the Historical Imagination Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc 1814–1879

Sensing the World An Anthropology of the Senses

Sensing the World: An Anthropology of the Senses is a highly original and comprehensive overview of the anthropology and sociology of the body and the senses. Discussing each sense in turn – seeing hearing touch smell and taste – Le Breton has written a truly monumental work vast in scope and deeply engaging in style. Among other pioneering moves he gives equal attention to light and darkness sound and silence and his disputation of taste explores aspects of disgust and revulsion. Part phenomenological part historical this is above all a cultural account of perception which returns the body and the senses to the center of social life. Le Breton is the leading authority on the anthropology of the body and the senses in French academia. With a repute comparable to the late Pierre Bourdieu his 30+ books have been translated into numerous languages. This is the first of his works to be made available in English. This sensuously nuanced translation of La Saveur du monde is accompanied by a spicy preface from series editor David Howes who introduces Le Breton's work to an English-speaking audience and highlights its implications for the disciplines of anthropology sociology and the cross-disciplinary field of sensory studies. | Sensing the World An Anthropology of the Senses

Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

Dam Safety Management is a major concern during the entire lifetime cycle of a dam scheme. This is particularly true for the operational phase of the scheme that represents by far the longest period in its lifetime cycle. Bulletin 154 presented a general approach and concepts to be applied to dam operation. The current Bulletin 175 extends the developed concepts to all phases preceding the operational phase. Many risks associated with the operation of existing dams have their origins in other phases preceding the actual operation. Although there are numerous ICOLD Bulletins addressing technical aspects of planning design construction and commissioning of dams there is not a single Bulletin which covers the subject in a comprehensive manner. The current document is a first attempt to capture all relevant dam safety aspects in all preoperational phases by systematically characterizing the actors involved their roles the activities and complex interactions present in different phases of the dam lifecycle. An Overarching Safety Management System is specifically developed that can be applied to all actors involved. La gestion de la sécurité des barrages est une préoccupation majeure pendant tout le cycle de vie d'un projet de barrage. Cela est particulièrement vrai pour la phase opérationnelle du système qui représente de loin la période la plus longue de son cycle de vie. Le Bulletin 154 présente une approche générale et des concepts à appliquer à l'exploitation des barrages. Le Bulletin 175 actuel étend les concepts développés à toutes les phases précédant la phase d'exploitation. De nombreux risques associés à l'exploitation des barrages existants ont leur origine dans d'autres phases précédant l'exploitation proprement dite. Bien qu'il existe de nombreux bulletins ICOLD traitant des aspects techniques de la planification de la conception de la construction et de la mise en service des barrages il n'existe pas un seul bulletin qui couvre le sujet de manière exhaustive. Le document actuel est une première tentative de capturer tous les aspects pertinents de la sécurité des barrages dans toutes les phases pré-opérationnelles en caractérisant systématiquement les acteurs impliqués leurs rôles les activités et les interactions complexes présentes dans les différentes phases du cycle de vie du barrage. Un système global de gestion de la sécurité est spécifiquement développé et peut être appliqué à tous les acteurs impliqués. | Dam Safety Management / Gestion de la Sécurité des Barrages Pre operational phases of the dam life cycle / Phases de conception constructio

Tailings Dam Design / Conception des Barrages de Stériles Miniers Technology Update / Mise à Jour des Technologies

Tailings are produced from the processing of mineral ores and are commonly stored within embankment dams. The design of the dams requires application of sound engineering principles and an understanding of the properties of the tailings. This Bulletin provides a framework for classifying different types of tailings ranging from ultra-fine to coarse based on their geotechnical properties and provides typical geotechnical parameters for the different tailings types. Technologies for dewatering tailings to reduce the risk of storage continue to be developed and the different technologies from thickening to filtration and re-application of old technologies are presented to illustrate the options available and where appropriate typical in situ properties. This bulletin is directed towards a wide audience of stakeholders: designers owners regulators communities and various organizations and provides a reference for communicating tailings properties and the benefits and limitations of technologies. All mining operations and thereby tailings operations are unique. There is no one-solution-fits-all. Tailings dam designs need to account for site-specific conditions such as climate physiography geochemistry geomorphology seismology mining processes environment and community setting with the application of technologies playing an important role in developing safe sustainable tailings facilities. Les stériles miniers sont produits à partir du traitement des minerais et sont généralement stockés derrière des barrages en remblai. La conception des barrages nécessite l'application de principes d'ingénierie solides et une compréhension des propriétés des résidus. Ce bulletin fournit un cadre pour classer différents types de résidus allant de l'ultra-fin au grossier en fonction de leurs propriétés géotechniques et propose des paramètres géotechniques typiques pour les différentes sortes de résidus. Les technologies d'assèchement des résidus pour réduire le risque de stockage continuent à être développées ; les différentes technologies de l'épaississement à la filtration en passant par l’application des anciennes technologies sont présentées pour illustrer les options disponibles et le cas échéant les propriétés in situ typiques. Ce bulletin s'adresse à un large public d'intervenants : concepteurs propriétaires régulateurs communautés et organisations diverses et fournit une référence pour communiquer les propriétés des résidus et les avantages et les limites des technologies. Toutes les opérations minières et par conséquent les traitements des résidus sont uniques. Il n'y a pas de solution unique pour tous. La conception des barrages de résidus doit tenir compte des conditions propres au site telles que le climat la physiographie la géochimie la géomorphologie la sismologie les processus miniers l'environnement et le milieu communautaire l'application de technologies jouant un rôle important dans le développement de parcs à résidus sûrs et durables. | Tailings Dam Design / Conception des Barrages de Stériles Miniers Technology Update / Mise à Jour des Technologies

Bulgarian Harmony In Village Wedding and Choral Music of the Last Century

An in-depth study of the Bulgarian harmonic system is long overdue. More than two decades since the Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares choir was awarded a Grammy (1990) there is no scholarly study of the captivating sounds of Bulgarian vertical sonorities. Kalin Kirilov traces the gradual formation of a unique harmonic system that developed in three styles of Bulgarian music: village music from the 1930s to the 1990s wedding music from the 1970s to 2000 and choral arrangements (obrabotki) - creations of the socialist period (1944-1989) popularized by Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares. Kirilov classifies the different approaches to harmony and situates them in their historical and cultural contexts establishing new systems for analysis. In the process he introduces a new system for the categorization of scales. Kirilov argues that the ready-made concepts that are frequently forced onto Bulgarian music - ‘westernization’ ‘socialist’ or ‘Middle Eastern influence’ are not only outdated but also too vague to be of use in understanding the sophisticated modal and harmonic systems found in Bulgarian music. As an insider who has performed composed and arranged this music for 30 years Kirilov is uniquely qualified to interpret it for an international audience. | Bulgarian Harmony In Village Wedding and Choral Music of the Last Century

Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact

This collection offers insights into the transnational and translingual implications of Simone de Beauvoir’s Le Deuxième Sexe (The Second Sex) a text that has served as foundational for feminisms worldwide since its publication in 1949. Little scholarly attention has been devoted to how the original French-language source text made its way into languages other than English. This is a shocking omission given that many (but by no means all) other translations were based on the 1953 English translation by Howard M. Parshley which has been widely criticized by Beauvoir scholars for its omissions and careless attention to its philosophical implications. This volume seeks to fill this gap in scholarship with an innovative collection of essays that interrogate the ways that Beauvoir’s essay has shifted in meaning and significance as it has travelled across the globe. This volume brings together for the first time scholars from Translation Studies Literary Studies and Philosophical Studies and over half of it is dedicated to non-Western European engagements with Le Deuxième Sexe (including chapters on the Chinese Japanese Arabic Hungarian and Polish translations). As such this collection will be essential to any scholar of Beauvoir’s philosophy and its contributions to feminist discourses. | Translating Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex Transnational Framing Interpretation and Impact
