Organic Design in Twentieth-Century Nordic Architecture

Organic Design in Twentieth-Century Nordic Architecture

Organic Design in Twentieth-Century Nordic Architecture presents a communicable and useful definition of organic architecture that reaches beyond constraints. The book focuses on the works and writings of architects in Nordic countries such as Sigurd Lewerentz Jørn Utzon Sverre Fehn and the Aaltos (Aino Elissa and Alvar) among others. It is structured around the ideas of organic design principles that influenced them and allowed their work to evolve from one building to another. Erik Champion argues organic architecture can be viewed as a concerted attempt to thematically unify the built environment through the allegorical expression of ongoing interaction between designer architectural brief and building-as-process. With over 140 black and white images this book is an intriguing read for architecture students and professionals alike.

Hypnosis and Imagination

Hypnosis and Imagination

The book's first three chapters-by Sheehan and Robertson; Wagstaff; Council Kirsch and Grant - conclude that three different factors turn imagination into hypnosis. The next three chapters-by Lynn Neufeld Green Rhue and Sandberg; Rader Kunzendorf and Carrabino; and Barrett-explore the hypnotic and the clinical significance of absorption in imagination. Three subsequent chapters-by Coe; Gwynn and Spanos; and Gorassini-examine the role of compliance and imagination in various hypnotic phenomena. Pursuing the possibility that some hypnotic hallucinations are experienced differently from normal images the following two chapters-by Perlini Spanos and Jones; and Kunzendorf and Boisvert-focus on negative hallucinating which reportedly blocks out perceptual reality. The remaining three chapters-by Wallace and Turosky; Crawford; and Persinger-pursue other physiological differences and possible physiological connections between hypnosis and imagination.

Science Language and Reform in Victorian Poetry Political Dialects

Science Language and Reform in Victorian Poetry Political Dialects

Barrow’s timely book is the first to examine the link between Victorian poetry the study of language and political reform. Focusing on a range of literary scientific and political texts Barrow demonstrates that nineteenth-century debates about language played a key role in shaping emergent ideas about popular sovereignty. While Victorian scientists studied the origins of speech the history of dialects and the barrier between human and animal language poets such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning Alfred Tennyson and Thomas Hardy drew on this research to explore social unrest the expansion of the electorate and the ever-widening boundaries of empire. Science Language and Reform in Victorian Poetry recovers unacknowledged links between poetry philology and political culture and contributes to recent movements in literary studies that combine historicist and formalist approaches. | Science Language and Reform in Victorian Poetry Political Dialects

Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Archaeology and its Discontents examines the state of archaeology today and its development throughout the twentieth century making a powerful case for new approaches. Surveying the themes of twentieth-century archaeological theory Barrett looks at their successes limitations and failures. Seeing more failures and limitations than successes he argues that archaeology has over-focused on explaining the human construction of material variability and should instead be more concerned with understanding how human diversity has been constructed. Archaeology matters he argues precisely because of the insights it can offer into the development of human diversity. The analysis and argument are illustrated throughout by reference to the development of the European Neolithic. Arguing both for new approaches and for the importance of archaeology as a discipline Archaeology and its Discontents is for archaeologists at all levels from student to professor and trainee to experienced practitioner. | Archaeology and its Discontents Why Archaeology Matters

Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Epic has long been regarded as the exclusive domain of the male literary genius and as an incarnation of patriarchal values. This provocative collection of essays challenges such a hegemonic stereotype by demonstrating the ways in which women writers have successfully adapted the masculine epic tradition to suit their own aesthetic needs and to express their own heroic literary social and historical visions. Bringing the female epic out of the shadows the contributors rethink generic boundaries to illuminate this heretofore hidden literary practice. The essays range from Mary Tighe to Rebecca West from Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Gwendolyn Brooks and from Frances Burney to Virginia Woolf. Bernard Schweizer's introduction titled 'Muses with Pens ' connects the trajectory of ideas and influences in the individual essays to demonstrate how each participates in reclaiming for women writers a place in the development of a female epic tradition. The volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working on issues related to genre canon formation and the evolution of female literary authority. | Approaches to the Anglo and American Female Epic 1621-1982

Planning and Zoning New York City

Planning and Zoning New York City

Two unique events shaped the magnificent unnatural geography of New York City and created its sense of place: the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 and the zoning resolution of 1916. The first imprinted Manhattan with a two-dimensional plan a rectangular grid defined by broad north-south avenues multiple east-west cross streets and by its standard units: blocks of two hundred feet by six hundred to eight hundred feet. The second determined the city's three-dimensional form by restricting uses by district by limiting the maximum mass of a building allowed on a given site. This book addresses the fundamental challenge facing every American municipality: Can zoning - the basic tool of municipal land-use control - balance growth and equity? As New York plans for the future the nation's foremost commentators on urban planning architecture land-use law and design discuss the accomplishments of New York's zoning laws and explore alternative scenarios for guiding the city's future development.

Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

This volume examines the intersection of political power and religion during the presidency of Donald Trump through an examination of performance. This study begins with an examination of white evangelical Christian support for Trump through readings of the 2018 film The Trump Prophecy based on a book of the same name and The Faith of Donald J. Trump a spiritual biography of the former president by veteran Christian reporters David Brody and Scott Lamb. White evangelicals Christianized Trump during his run for office in 2016 and Trump’s ascension to the presidency broke down barriers between church and state in service of dominionistic Christian aims. This exploration then looks at the conservative Catholicism through an exploration of Heroes of the Fourth Turning a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by Will Arbery and Rod Dreher’s The Benedict Option. While Trump’s connection to evangelicals is well documented conservative Catholics like Attorney General Bill Barr and Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett took on pivotal roles during the Trump administration demonstrating the significance of conservative Catholicism to his presidency. The author finally examines the cult of Trump on the internet by interrogating the performance of spirituality in pro-Trump conspiracy theories like QAnon. This book will be of great interest not only to theatre and performance studies scholars but also scholars with interests in political and religious studies. | Performing for the Don Theaters of Faith in the Trump Era

Recording the Classical Guitar

Recording the Classical Guitar

Recording the Classical Guitar charts the evolution of classical guitar recording practice from the early twentieth century to the present day encompassing the careers of many of the instrument’s most influential practitioners from acoustic era to the advent of the CD. A key focus is on the ways in which guitarists’ recorded repertoire programmes have shaped the identity of the instrument particularly where national allegiances and musical aesthetics are concerned. The book also considers the ways in which changing approaches to recording practice have conditioned guitarists’ conceptions of the instrument’s ideal representation in recorded form and situates these in relation to the development of classical music recording aesthetics more generally. An important addition to the growing body of literature in the field of phonomusicology the book will be of interest to guitarists and producers as well as students of record production and historians of classical music recording.

South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives

South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives

In mid-March 1992 a group of forty scholars journalists strategists and government officials met in Kathmandu Nepal to assess the post-Cold War world. The meeting marked both a summing up and a beginning. Many of the conference participants had been associated at one time or another with the Program in Arms Control Disarmament and International Security (A CD IS) at the University of lllinois at Urbana-Champaign. Founded in 1978 ACDIS had from its very first year recruited scholars from South Asia (and scholars working on South Asia). Much of this work was supported by a continuing grant from the Ford Foundation (which also contributed major support for the Kathmandu meeting) but lllinois was also home for a number of Fulbright and Asia Foundation grantees. 1 The meeting in Kathmandu provided an opportunity for these individuals to again meet with each other and with faculty and staff associated with ACDIS. | South Asia After The Cold War International Perspectives
