Architecture and Land in and Out of the Americas
"Land precedes architecture: this is one of the basic assumptions underlying building culture today. But this assumption rests on a fictional vision of land as an avalable suface, "a piece" of which has to be secured before anything can be designed or built. This fiction plays a key role in the life of frontier nations. It is particularly essential to the history of architecture in the United States"--Page [4] of cover.

Notorious Identity
Richard III, Antony and Cleopatra, were significant figures before Shakespeare revitalized them on stage. When he did, Charnes argues, he used these legendary figures to explore the emergence of a new kind of fame, "notorious identity".
Images of Dutchness
Why do early films present the Netherlands as a country full of canals and windmills, where people wear traditional costumes and wooden shoes, while industries and modern urban life are all but absent? Images of Dutchness investigates the roots of this visual repertoire from diverse sources, ranging from magazines to tourist brochures, from anthropological treatises to advertising trade cards, stereoscopic photographs, picture postcards, magic lantern slide sets and films of early cinema. This richly illustrated book provides an in-depth study of the fascinating corpus of popular visual media and their written comments that are studied for the first time. Through the combined analysis of words and images, the author identifies not only what has been considered "typically Dutch" in the long nineteenth century, but also provides new insights into the logic and emergence of national clichés in the Western world.
