Binding Space: The Book as Spatial Practice

Binding Space: The Book as Spatial Practice

Books orient intrigue provoke and direct the reader while editing interpreting encapsulating constructing and revealing architectural representation. Binding Space: The Book as Spatial Practice explores the role of the book form within the realm of architectural representation. It proposes the book itself as another three-dimensional complementary architectural representation with a generational and propositional role within the design process. Artists’ books in particular – that is a book made as an original work of art with an artist designer or architect as author – have certain qualities and characteristics quite different from the conventional presentation and documentation of architecture. Paginal sequentiality the structure and objecthood of the book and the act of reading create possibilities for the book as a site for architectural imagining and discourse. In this way the form of the book affects how the architectural work is conceived constructed and read. In five main sections Binding Space examines the relationships between the drawing the building and the book. It proposes thinking through the book as a form of spatial practice one in which the book is cast as object outcome process and tool. Through the book we read spatial practice anew.

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object shows why and how books matter in the 21st century. Digital and audio platforms are commonplace and other fields of art beyond literature have increasingly embraced books and publication as their medium of choice. Nevertheless the manifold book object persists and continues to inspire various types of experimentation. This volume sets forth an unprecedented approach where literary and media theory are entangled with design practitioners’ artistic research and process descriptions. By probing the paradigm of the codex this collection of essays focuses on historical and contemporary experimentation that has challenged what books are and could be from the perspectives of materiality mediation and visual and typographic design. Investigations into less-studied areas and cases of performativity demonstrate what experimental books do by interacting with their systemic and cultural environments. The volume offers a multifaceted and multidisciplinary view of the book object the book design and publishing processes and their significance in the digital age. | The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

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
