  • Taylor & Francis Irigaray for Architects

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSpecifically for architects, the third title in the Thinkers for Architects series examines the relevance of Luce Irigarayâs work for architecture. Eight thematic chapters explore the bodily, spatio-temporal, political and cultural value of her ideas for making, discussing and experiencing architecture. In particular, each chapter makes accessible Irigarayâs ideas about feminine and masculine spaces with reference to her key texts. Irigarayâs theory of âsexed subjectsâ is explained in order to show how sexuality informs the different ways in which men and women construct and inhabit architecture. In addition, her ideas about architectural forms of organization between people, exterior and interior spaces, touch and vision, philosophy and psychoanalysis are explored. The book also suggests ways in which these strategies can enable architectural designers and theorists to create ethical architectures for the user and his or her physical and psychological needsTable of Contents1.

  • Taylor & Francis The Routledge Critical and Cultural Theory Reader

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisEverything is open to question. Nothing is sacred.Critical and cultural theory invites a rethinking of some of our most basic assumptions about who we are, how we behave, and how we interpret the world around us.The Routledge Critical and Cultural Theory Reader brings together 29 key pieces from the last century and a half that have shaped the field. Topics include: subjectivity, language, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, the body, the human, class, culture, everyday life, literature, psychoanalysis, technology, power, and visuality. The choice of texts, together with the editors'' introduction and glossary, will allow newcomers to begin from first principles, while the use of unabridged readings will also make the volume suitable for those undertaking more specialized work. Material is arranged chronologically, but the editors have suggested thematic pathways through the selections. Table of ContentsPathways Acknowledgments Editors’ Introduction 1.
