The Affective Agency of Public Space
The Affective Agency of Public Space explores the pivotal role that public spaces play in fostering social inclusion and community cohesion within various settings, including Europe and the United States. This scholarly work underscores the critical importance of developing inclusive public zones that enhance urban life and promote integration and interaction among diverse community groups. It also confronts and debunks common myths about ‘different people,’ actively addressing misconceptions while promoting the recognition of diverse identities and voices. Through a comparative lens, the book presents insightful case studies that illustrate its core themes. Serving as a timely and important academic resource, this text is indispensable for urban planners, educators, architects, designers, and sociologists committed to progressive urban planning methodologies.

Carole A. Feuerman
"Carole A. Feuerman's sculpture combines superrealist technique with a humanist approach to her subjects. This first monograph on her work is filled with David Finn's dramatic photographs covering two decades of her work, including many enlarged details and multiple views, providing a cinematic, almost three-dimensional experience. The work - in resin, cast marble, bronze, and other materials, often painted - ranges from early erotic reliefs through full-scale sculptures of athletes and nudes. Her women at their toilette are sculptural tours-de-force, yet their intimacy recalls Degas's works on similar themes. Recent fragments and body mappings are experiments with abstraction, deconstructio...

Native Places
Native Places is a collection of 64 watercolor sketches paired with mini-essays about architecture, landscape, everyday objects, and nature. The sketches relate the delight found in ordinary places. The short essays, rather than repeat what is visible in the sketch, illustrate ideas and thoughts sparked by that image and offer a fresh interpretation of ordinary things. The goal of Native Places is, in part, to transform the way we see. Through its pages, barns become guidebooks to crops and weather; a country church is redolent of the struggle for civil rights and human dignity; and a highway rest stop offers a glimpse of egalitarian society. Native Places also expresses the belief that writing and hand drawing are not obsolete skills. Both disciplines offer us the opportunity to develop a natural grace in the way we view the world and take part in it.
Tradizione e Innovazione
Nel primo decennio di questo secolo il Piemonte, grazie ad un’eccellente legge regionale, ha rappresentato un’eccezione nel panorama italiano per il sostegno economico dato alle piccole realtà culturali locali. In seguito la legge è stata modificata nella modalità della rendicontazione, così da rendere impossibile alle piccole associazioni di accedere ai contributi, determinando la morte di un tessuto culturale ricco di idee, stimoli, eventi e progetti. In questi anni grigi è diventato impossibile realizzare qualsiasi tipo di progetto culturale per la difficoltà di ottenere finanziamenti pubblici o privati per “manifesto disinteresse”. Questo volume della Collana si propone come un “manifesto di riflessione”: «Le retoriche del “patrimonio” – scrive Tomaso Montanari – si sprecano e tutti, in Italia, invocano politiche del turismo, “cultura” e “sviluppo”. Ma a scuola ci si affretta ad abolire gli insegnamenti di storia dell’arte. Conoscere Leonardo o Borromini non serve per fare le scarpe...»
