The Old Bridge of Mostar and Increasing Respect for Cultural Property in Armed Conflict
Based on the study of the Old Bridge of Mostar, this book concerns the adequacy of the international humanitarian law regime relating to the targeting and destruction of immovable cultural property in armed conflict at both normative and enforcement level.
Approaching Architecture
The study of the architectural discipline suffers from an increasing disconnect between its teaching and its professional practice. In this edited collection, 18 architectural voices address this disconnect by reflecting on the ways in which they exercise the architectural discipline in three ways: research, teaching, and practice. This book argues that the totality of activities encompassed by the architectural profession can be best fulfilled when reconsidering the critical interactions between these three fields in the everyday exercise of the profession. Split into three parts, "Architecture as Research," Architecture as Pedagogy," and "Architecture as Practice," each section focuses on ...

The Routledge Research Companion to Heritage and Identity
Heritage represents the meanings and representations conveyed in the present day upon artifacts, landscapes, mythologies, memories and traditions from the past. It is a key element in the shaping of identities, particularly in the context of increasingly multicultural societies. This Research Companion brings together an international team of authors to discuss the concepts, ideas and practices that inform the entwining of heritage and identity. They have assembled a wide geographical range of examples and interpret them through a number of disciplinary lenses that include geography, history, museum and heritage studies, archaeology, art history, history, anthropology and media studies. This outstanding companion offers scholars and graduate students a thoroughly up-to-date guide to current thinking and a comprehensive reference to this growing field.

La clonación arquitectónica
Copias, clones, simulaciones, facsímiles, versiones... En el mundo de la arquitectura se constata la proliferación de réplicas de edificios históricos desaparecidos (por ejemplo, el Teatro Globe, en Londres), muchos de ellos obras míticas de arquitectos como Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe o Josep Lluís Sert. Clones arquitectónicos dotados de tal fuerza que nos hacen olvidar su verdadera naturaleza de facsímil, suplantando al original desaparecido y borrando el paso del tiempo entre ambos. Las réplicas arquitectónicas a veces son necesarias porque responden a situaciones de emergencia, donde la sociedad reclama la reconstrucción de los monumentos dañados o desaparecidos para restañar las heridas abiertas por la guerra o causadas por desastres naturales o accidentales. Otras veces son producto de un culto desmedido a algunos hitos arquitectónicos, reflejando en este sentido el traspaso al ámbito de la arquitectura del apropiacionismo de otras prácticas artísticas.
Working Women, 1800-2017
This book examines how, over the past 300 years or so, women have adapted their work methods, means of subsistence and daily routine to fulfil their dual role as carers and breadwinners. From the industrial revolution, which ended agrarian-based subsistence and meant an exodus towards the cities for many families, to the digital revolution, which redefined the work environment, working hours and even in some cases biological functions, women have succeeded in meeting the challenge of changing work practices, social expectations and economic and family needs. Although women’s work, both past and present, is a much-researched area, this volume sheds new light on the subject by combining the approach of historians, sociologists, and language and culture specialists, and applying it to different countries. Drawing upon original fieldwork and little-known archives, the book will be of interest not only to an academic audience, but to anyone wanting to know more about gender, family, and labour issues across Europe between the 19th and 21st centuries.
How Pharaohs Became Media Stars: Ancient Egypt and Popular Culture
New media and its enormous diffusion in the last decades of the 20th century and up to the present has greatly increased and diversified the reception of Egyptian themes and motifs and Egyptian influence in various cultural spheres. This book seeks to provide new evidence of this interdisciplinarity between Egyptology and popular culture.
Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
European Heritage, Planning and Management
This book provides students with an advanced level course in the nature and scope of Heritage, its relationship to history and culture and its political, social and economic uses in contemporary society. The first book to have this coverage, it presents a fresh approach, giving unparalled student accessibility on the different aspects of heritage." "While this is a broad view of the field and its management that contains exercises and bibliographies, European Heritage Planning and Management shows itself to be more than a course book as it is no less significant for practitioners both within and outside the European boundary.
