Dances of the Self in Heinrich Von Kleist, E. T. A. Hoffman and Heinrich Heine
Dances of the Self in Heinrich von Kleist, E. T. A. Hoffmann and Heinrich Heine brings to light little-known German resources on dance by juxtaposing cultural history with aesthetic theory and close readings of literary works. Joining performance studies with psychoanalytical theory, Lucia Ruprecht addresses dance as a performative exercise which constitutes a decisive force within the formation of subjectivity that is enacted in the literary texts.
The Living Tradition of Architecture
The Living Tradition of Architecture explores the depth of architecture as it takes flesh in the living tradition of building, dwelling and thinking. This is a timely appraisal of the field by some of its foremost contributors. Beyond modern misconceptions about tradition only relating to things past and conducive to a historicist vision, the essays in this volume reveal tradition as a living continuity and common ground of reference for architecture. This collection of essays brings together world-leading scholars, practicing architects and educators, Alberto Pérez-Gómez, Christian Frost, Dagmar Weston, Daniel Libeskind, David Leatherbarrow, Eric Parry, Gabriele Bryant, Joseph Rykwert, Karsten Harries, Kenneth Frampton, Mari Hvattum, Patrick Lynch, Robin Middleton, Stephen Witherford, and Werner Oechslin, in a single celebratory publication edited by José de Paiva and dedicated to Dalibor Vesely. This book provides a unique initiative reflecting the group’s understanding of the contemporary situation, revealing an ongoing debate of central relevance to architecture.
New Era, New Religions
New Era - New Religions examines new forms of religion in Brazil. The largest and most vibrant country in Latin America, Brazil is home to some of the world's fastest growing religious movements and has enthusiastically greeted home-grown new religions and imported spiritual movements and new age organizations. In Brazil and beyond, these novel religious phenomena are reshaping contemporary understandings of religion and what it means to be religious. To better understand the changing face of twenty-first-century religion, New Era - New Religions situates the rise of new era religiosity within the broader context of late-modern society and its ongoing transformation.
Fragments Towards a Theology of Architecture
Intended as the first of a theological series, Fragments I addresses the mystery of divine presence in the created world. Appearing in the Council of Trent as real presence and more widely in the metaphor of the presence of light in the visible world, the question would steer the course of metaphysics, geometry and architecture all throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In the writings of Robert Bellarmine, the hierarchy of the created world would offer a stairway to the source of light and vision. In authors like Francesco Patrizi, François de Aguilón and Christoph Scheiner, Juan Caramuel, Mario Bettini and Guarino Guarini, light itself was described along the lines of the cone of light and vision in optics and perspective. Visual representation was seen in terms of the deformatio and reformatio of the visual field, and reflected in concepts of architectura recta and obliqua. Fragments I introduces a theological approach to the nature of our visible world, where art and architecture provide a tangible body of interpretation - from the work of Francesco Borromini and Andrea Pozzo to Christoph Dientzenhofer and Balthasar Neumann.
