  • Taylor & Francis Rethinking Global Modernism

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis anthology collects developing scholarship that outlines a new decentred history of global modernism in architecture using postcolonial and other related theoretical frameworks. By both revisiting the canons of modernism and seeking to decolonize and globalize those canons, the volume explores what a genuinely global history of architectural modernism might begin to look like. Its chapters explore the historiography and weaknesses of modernism''s normative interpretations and propose alternatives to them. The collection offers essays that interrogate transnationalism in new ways, reconsiders the agency of the subaltern and the roles played by infrastructures, materials, and global institutions in propagating a diversity of modernisms internationally. Issues such as colonial modernism, architectural pedagogy, cultural imperialism, and spirituality are engaged. With essays from both established scholars and up-and-coming researchers, this is an important reference foTrade Review"Taking seriously the challenge to think critically and deeply about what ‘global modernism’ and a reconsideration of postcoloniality might entail, this landmark volume brings together the foremost experts in the field to open up new directions for the study of ‘modern’ architecture and the built environment. Each essay conjures exciting potential avenues through the migrant, out-of-sync, and fragmented histories and futures of modern architecture, steadfastly refusing the call for a satisfying whole to instead embrace the much more interesting (and indeed accurate) dispersals of the global modern."Rebecca M. Brown, Professor and Chair of the History of Art, Johns Hopkins University, USA"Long after ‘metanarratives’ have been considered as obsolete by Jean-François Lyotard, collective endeavors such as Vikramaditya Prakash’s, Maristella Casciato’s, and Daniel Coslett’s assemblage of essays take stock of the stunning metamorphosis of the historical interpretation of twentieth-century architecture. The essays contained in their dense, diverse tome not only widen our field of vision, including overlooked projects and buildings, but they also question without mercy the critical production which has been since the 1920s the doppelgänger of modernist practice. Without any doubt, Rethinking Global Modernism will inspire a new generation of investigations which will further reshape the worldwide history of architecture and urban form."Jean-Louis Cohen, Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture, Institute of Fine Arts/New York University, USA"With its thematic approach, Rethinking Global Modernism: Architectural Historiography and the Postcolonial is a well-organized, astute and thought-provoking analysis of the history of modern architecture. We needed this compendium with some of the best scholars of the field of global history."Caroline Maniaque, Professor of Architectural History and Cultures, Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Normandie, France"A serendipitously timed and kaleidoscopic examination of modernism globally—its discontents, adaptations, evolutions, contestations, transformative effects and often impending erasure. The collective resonance of these essays challenge us to expand and nuance more critically the histories of modernism in the planetary context."Rahul Mehrotra, RMA Architects and Chair of the Department of Urban Planning and Design and John T. Dunlop Professor in Housing and Urbanization, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, USA"If the pandemic has been a moment of recalibrating methods and priorities towards a better understanding of architecture and its role in the interactive processes of modernization that shape the global environment, this book promises to be an extraordinarily productive response to that challenge. Edited by some of the most experienced scholars of the history of modern architecture in Asia and Latin America, it offers a wide array of topical issues in architectural theory and criticism regarding what used to be called the ‘Third World,’ thereby systematically updating the methods and the vocabulary in ways that will be indispensable for scholars working in the field."Stanislaus von Moos, Professor Emeritus of Modern and Contemporary Art, University of Zurich, Switzerland"Instead of reading global modernism as subordination or resistance to modernist forms projected outward from western metropoles, this ambitious collection reconstructs as well as deconstructs modern architecture’s foundations, its historiographical processes. Here modernism’s past and future are decolonized and globalized, multidirectional and multinucleated in their narratives, theories, agencies, and materialities."Mary N.

  • Taylor & Francis Routledge Handbook of Critical Indigenous Studies

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Critical Indigenous Studies is the first comprehensive overview of the rapidly expanding field of Indigenous scholarship. The book is ambitious in scope, ranging across disciplines and national boundaries, with particular reference to the lived conditions of Indigenous peoples in the first world. The contributors are all themselves Indigenous scholars who provide critical understandings of indigeneity in relation to ontology (ways of being), epistemology (ways of knowing), and axiology (ways of doing) with a view to providing insights into how Indigenous peoples and communities engage and examine the worlds in which they are immersed. Sections include:â Indigenous Sovereignty â Indigeneity in the 21st Century â Indigenous Epistemologies â The Field of Indigenous Studies â Global Indigeneity This handbook contributes to the re-centring of Indigenous knowledges, providing material and ideational analysesTrade Review"Featuring important contributions by leading scholars in the field, this volume is an indispensable intervention into the field of Critical Indigenous Studies and a must-read for understanding its empirical, theoretical, and methodological scaffolding." -- Jeani O’Brien, University of Minnesota, USA"With a stellar editorial team, this extraordinary collection offers a much-needed state-of-the-field: Critical Indigenous Studies at its best, in a global frame. With thematic sections that showcase rich intellectual diversity, these outstanding essays are all well researched, conceptually innovative, and brilliantly theorized - yet, also accessible. This volume is essential reading!" -- J. Kēhaulani Kauanui, Professor of American Studies and Anthropology, Wesleyan University, USA"This handbook, edited by international leading scholars in the field, will be an essential resource for the academy and for Indigenous communities. It's a unique and powerful collection of the most influential Indigenous scholars, and will be a must-have for students, researchers and scholars." -- Larissa Behrendt, Director of Research and Academic Programs, Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research, University of Technology Sydney, Australia"This book is very much welcomed. Given that Indigenous scholars are researching, developing curriculum, and trying to engage in meaningful and respectful partnerships with Indigenous communities in Australia, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and elsewhere, a collection such as this has never been more important or timely. The Handbook is edited by esteemed Indigenous scholars, and contains works by leading and emerging critical Indigenous scholars and thought leaders. The handbook will be a source of reference, theory, explanation, challenge, and inspiration, and I am excited by the prospect of its influence in the hands of my colleagues and students." -- Bronwyn Fredericks, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Indigenous Engagement), The University of Queensland, Australia"A crucial reference work for the international, interdisciplinary field of Indigenous scholars within and outside the academy, the Handbook is more than a catalogue of critical thought and practice up to the present moment – it offers deeply thoughtful glimpses into dynamic Indigenous futures." -- K.
