Jørn Utzon and Transcultural Essentialism

Jørn Utzon and Transcultural Essentialism

This book introduces and defines the burgeoning concepts of transculturalism and essentialism and how they relate to one another as articulated with reference to the work of Jørn Utzon. It introduces critical contemporary perspectives of the design thinking and career of this renowned Danish architect internationally recognised for his competition-winning iconic design for the Sydney Opera House – an outstanding exemplar of transcultural essentialism in architecture. Transcultural essentialism is analysed through the lens of critical regionalism and architectural phenomenology with emphasis on the sense of place and tectonics in Utzon’s architectural works. It provides a new understanding of the Danish architect as an early proponent of a still emergent and increasingly relevant direction in architecture. Going beyond biographical studies it presents a more comprehensive understanding of the broad range of transcultural influences that formed his thinking. The volume includes numerous previously unpublished photographs drawings and interviews with Utzon’s family members former students and colleagues offering a significant contribution to the existing body of knowledge for any architecture scholar interested in Utzon’s work and design principles. The book also comprises a Foreword by eminent architecture theorist Juhani Pallasmaa in which he provides insights into the wider architectural and cultural context of Utzon’s worldview. | Jørn Utzon and Transcultural Essentialism

Deconstructing the Talmud The Absolute Book

Deconstructing the Talmud The Absolute Book

This monograph uses deconstruction—a philosophical movement originated by Jacques Derrida—to read the most authoritative book in Judaism: the Talmud. Examining deconstruction in comparison with Kant’s and Hegel’s philosophies the volume argues that the movement opens an innovative debate on Jewish Law. First the monograph interprets deconstruction within the major streams of continental philosophy; then it criticizes many aspects of Foucault’s and Agamben’s philosophy rejecting their notion of law. On these premises the research delivers a close examination of many fundamental aspects of the Talmud. Consequently it provides a short history of Rabbinic literature a history of the dissemination of the Talmud from Babylon to Northern France and an analysis of Talmudic vocabulary from a deconstructive perspective. Each key concept of the Talmud is analysed according to the deconstructive dialectics between orality and writing. Closing with a comparison between the Talmud and Derrida’s most enigmatic text Glas the study argues that deconstruction dismantles the traditional notion of the Talmud to outline a new approach to Jewish Law. Reading the Talmud through deconstruction this new angle makes the volume an essential resource for students and scholars interested in Jewish studies continental philosophy and the Middle East. | Deconstructing the Talmud The Absolute Book
