Children as Place-Makers the innate architect in all of us

Children as Place-Makers the innate architect in all of us

Each of these Analysing Architecture Notebooks is devoted to a particular theme in understanding the rich and varied workings of architecture. They can be thought of as addenda to the foundation volume Analysing Architecture which first appeared in 1997 and has subsequently been enlarged in three further editions. Examining these extra themes as a series of Notebooks rather than as additional chapters in future editions allows greater space for more detailed exploration of a wider variety of examples whilst avoiding the risk of the original book becoming unwieldy. As children we make places spontaneously: on the beach in woodland around our homes… Those places are evidence of a natural language of architecture we all share. Beginning with the child as seed and agent of the places it makes initial sections of Children as Place-makers illustrate the key ‘verbs’ that drive that natural language of architecture. Later sections look at the core importance of the circle of place how as children we are drawn to inhabit boxes and the narrative possibilities that arise when place is linked with imagination. The principal messages of this Notebook are that it is by place-making we make sense of the space of the world in which we live and that the first step in becoming a professional architect is to re-awaken the innate architect inside each of us. | Children as Place-Makers the innate architect in all of us

The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The publication in 1988 of Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses triggered a furor that pitted much of the Islamic world against the West over issues of blasphemy and freedom of expression. The controversy soon took on the aspect of a confrontation of civilizations provoking powerful emotions on a global level. It involved censorship protests riots a break in diplomatic relations culminating in the notorious Iranian edict calling for the death of the novelist. In The Rushdie Affair Daniel Pipes explains why the publication of The Satanic Verses became a cataclysmic event with far-reaching political and social consequences. Pipes looks at the Rushdie affair in both its political and cultural aspects and shows in considerable detail what the fundamentalists perceived as so offensive in The Satanic Verses as against what Rushdie's novel actually said. Pipes explains how the book created a new crisis between Iran and the West at the time-disrupting international diplomacy billions of dollars in trade and prospects for the release of Western hostages in Lebanon. Pipes maps out the long-term implications of the crisis. If the Ayatollah so easily intimidated the West can others do the same? Can millions of fundamentalist Muslims now living in the United States and Europe possibly be assimilated into a culture so alien to them? Insightful and brilliantly written this volume provides a full understanding of one of the most significant events in recent years. Koenraad Elst's postscript reviews the enduring impact of the Rushdie affair. | The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates The Islamic Near East from the Sixth to the Eleventh Century

The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates The Islamic Near East from the Sixth to the Eleventh Century

The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates is an accessible history of the Near East from c. 600 to 1050 AD the period in which Islamic society was formed. Beginning with the life of Muhammad and the birth of Islam Hugh Kennedy goes on to explore the great Arab conquests of the seventh century and the golden age of the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates when the world of Islam was politically and culturally far more developed than the West. The crisis of the tenth century put an end to the political unity of the Muslim world and saw the emergence of the Fatimid caliphate in Egypt and independent dynasties in the Eastern Islamic world. The book concludes with the advent of Seljuk Turkish rule in the mid-eleventh century. This new edition is fully updated to take into account recent research and there are two entirely new chapters covering the economic background during the period and the north-east of Iran in the post Abbasid period. Based on extensive reading of the original Arabic sources Kennedy breaks away from the Orientalist tradition of seeing early Islamic history as a series of ephemeral rulers and pointless battles by drawing attention to underlying long-term social and economic processes. The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates deals with issues of continuing and increasing relevance in the twenty-first century when it is perhaps more important than ever to understand the early development of the Islamic world. Students and scholars of early Islamic history will find this book a clear informative and readable introduction to the subject. | The Prophet and the Age of the Caliphates The Islamic Near East from the Sixth to the Eleventh Century

The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Unknown Relatives analyses a large body of Victorian literary texts dealing with the topic of Catholicism and Catholics written from the non-Catholic perspective. The readings of these texts are inspired by psychoanalytic criticism primarily by the work of Freud and Kristeva. Kristeva’s work on abjection the paradoxical repulsion mixed with attraction provides the framework for the first part of the book which argues that Victorian depictions of Catholicism exhibit the same mixture of fascination and attraction. The second part of the book is constructed largely around Freud’s idea of the uncanny showing how Catholicism was cast in the role of the archaic religion profoundly strange and yet at the same time somehow familiar. The book includes the readings of a number of Victorian authors both canonical (Charlotte Brontë William Thackeray Charles Dickens) and lesser-known ones (George Borrow John Shorthouse Mrs Humphry Ward). The book will be of interest to scholars of cultural literary and religious studies as well as to readers interested in the matters of religion in literature and religious prejudice. | The Unknown Relatives The Catholic as the Other in the Victorian Novel

The Workplace of the Future The Fourth Industrial Revolution the Precariat and the Death of Hierarchies

The Workplace of the Future The Fourth Industrial Revolution the Precariat and the Death of Hierarchies

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is a global development that shows no signs of slowing down. In his book The Workplace of the Future: The Fourth Industrial Revolution the Precariat and the Death of Hierarchies Jon-Arild Johannessen sets a chilling vision of how robots and artificial intelligence will completely disrupt and transform working life. The author contests that once the dust has settled from the Fourth Industrial Revolution workplaces and professions will be unrecognizable and we will see the rise of a new social class: the precariat. We will live side by side with the 'working poor' – people who have several jobs but still can’t make ends meet. There will be a small salaried elite consisting of innovation and knowledge workers. Slightly further into the future there will be a major transformation in professional environments. Johannessen also presents a typology for the precariat the uncertain work that is created and develops a framework for the working poor as well as for future innovation and knowledge workers and sets out a new structure for the social hierarchy. A fascinating and thought-provoking insight into the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution The Workplace of the Future will be of interest to professionals and academics alike. The book is particularly suited to academic courses in management economy political science and social sciences. | The Workplace of the Future The Fourth Industrial Revolution the Precariat and the Death of Hierarchies

Chilika The Fishermen the Catch and the Challenges

Chilika The Fishermen the Catch and the Challenges

From Chilika India's largest coastal lake the echoes of poetry the reflections of festive lamps its ever-present turmoil and biodiverse bounty have come together to portray livelihoods and lives half full and half empty. After a broad conceptual framework about fish fishery and fishing livelihoods this book has explicitly focused on the lake's ecosystem in Odisha and sustainability in fishing communities. The voices of the fishers have lent credence to the socio-cultural belief systems right of commons and disputes over conservation at individual and community levels. The volatility over the common user rights is underscored by lack of protection to the locals absence of guiding principles and powerful usurpers. The disruption of livelihoods through insufficient economic support is underlined by the lack of viable equitable and regulated credit structures in the region. Issues of mechanization ecological hazards adverse impact of climate change and environmental degradation are explained through their own bearing on bionomic and traditional livelihood disruptions and in-situ footprints on common property resources. In the final countdown the sustained coexistence of Chilika lake and its varied community is narrated through an integrated socio-economic lens that accommodates extant challenges into its field of vision. This book is co-published with Aakar Books New Delhi.

‘The Politics’ and ‘The Political’ of the Eastern Partnership Initiative Reshaping the Agenda

‘The Politics’ and ‘The Political’ of the Eastern Partnership Initiative Reshaping the Agenda

The Special Issue consolidates new approaches to the study of the EU’s role in the eastern neighbourhood and beyond informed by post-structuralist traditions in international relations. More specifically by revisiting the European Neighbourhood Policy’s agenda from the conceptual perspective of ‘the political’ and redefining the notions of ‘othering’ ‘differentiation’ and ‘normalisation’ this volume renders a new and much-needed theoretical and empirical outlook onto the policy developments and their practices. By unpacking and connecting security regional institutional normative and sector-thematic policy dimensions the book seeks to re-politicise the agenda and re-focus policy revision on understanding the fundamentals of power relations when applied to the EU external relations. In light of the compounding crises external and internal one can no longer afford to simply tinker around the edges of the policy content and instruments. A more radical theoretical undertaking is overdue to re-shape re-define and re-centre the EU relations with the eastern region especially put in the context of the new EU’s Global Security Strategy and the new aspirations for the 2017 European Neighbourhood summit.
