Written over four decades Critiquing the Modern in Architecture is a collection of essays exploring the ideological and metaphysical core of modern architecture.

Mehta groups his essays under three key themes: Rethinking Modernity explores the ideological underpinnings of the modernity/modernism binary; The Idea of Architecture looks at a number of issues that constitute the timeless and the invariable aspects of architecture against which the prevalent modernist discourse can be critically evaluated; and On Praxis looks at three contemporary architects' work and the Vienna Secessionist movement between 1890 and 1918 to articulate a critique of the underpinnings of the modern movement. Providing a new view of the modern in architecture this book is critical reading for architectural theorists and scholars of modernism.

Gender Companionship and Travel Discourses in Pre-modern and Modern Travel Literature

Gender Companionship and Travel Discourses in Pre-modern and Modern Travel Literature

The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

Demonstrating the pervasive presence of God in modern Hebrew literature this book explores the qualities that twentieth-century Hebrew writers attributed to the divine and examines their functions against the simplistic dichotomy between religious and secular literature. The volume follows both chronological and thematic paths offering a panoramic and multilayered analysis of the various strategies in which modern Hebrew writers from the turn of the nineteenth century through the twenty-first century pursued in their attempt to represent the divine in the face of metaphysical theological and representational challenges. Modern Hebrew literature emerged during the nineteenth century as part of the Haskalah (Jewish Enlightenment) movement which attempted to break from the traditional modes of Jewish intellectual and social life. The Hebrew literature that arose in this period embraced the rebellious nature of the Haskalah and is commonly characterized as secular in nature defying Orthodoxy and rejecting God. Nevertheless this volume shows that modern Hebrew literature relied on traditional narratological and poetic norms in its attempt to represent God. Despite its self-declared secularity it engaged deeply with traditional problems such as the nature of God divine presence and theodicy. Examining these radical changes this volume is a key text for scholars and students of modern Hebrew literature Jewish studies and the intersection of religion and literature. | The Divine in Modern Hebrew Literature

Polyphony and the Modern

Polyphony and the Modern

Polyphony and the Modern asks one fundamental question: what does it mean to be modern in one’s own time? To answer that question this volume focuses on polyphony as an index of modernity. In The Principle of Hope Ernst Bloch showed that each moment in time is potentially fractured: people living in the same country can effectively live in different centuries – some making their alliances with the past and others betting on the future – but all of them at least technically enclosed in the temporal moment. But can a claim of modernity also mean something more ambitious? Can an artist by accident or design escape the limits of his or her own time and somehow precociously embody the outlook of a subsequent age? This book sees polyphony as a bridge providing a terminology and a stylistic practice by which the period barrier between Medieval and Early Modern can be breached.

Production of Locality in the Early Modern and Modern Age Places

Production of Locality in the Early Modern and Modern Age Places

This book is a microhistory study of village settlements in early modern Northwest Italy that aims to expand the notion of place to include the process of producing a locality; that is the production of native local subjects through practices rituals and other forms of collective action. Undertaking a micro-analytical approach the book examines the customs and practices associated with typically fragmented and polycentric Italian village settlements to analyze the territorial tensions between various segments of a village and its neighbors. The microspatial analysis reveals how these tensions are the expressions of conflictual relationships between lay ecclesiastical and charitable bodies culminating in a culture of fragmentation that impacts local economic and political practices. The book also traces how the production of locality survived throughout the nineenth and twentieth century and is still observed today. In this light the study of practices and policies of locality over time that this book undertakes is an essential tool to better understand the nature and role of these social bonds in today’s society. Archival records and the methods for approaching this source material are included within the text making it an accessible and invaluable book for students and teachers of social and cultural history. | Production of Locality in the Early Modern and Modern Age Places
