Der Sammelband gibt eine erste Einfuhrung in Werk und Biographie der grossen Erzahler und Erzahlerinnen der indischen, chinesischen und arabisch-turkisch-persischen Welt. Uber die beruhmten Namen hinaus werden insbesondere auch junge, weithin noch unbekannte, aber vielversprechende Gegenwartsautoren vorgestellt. Trends und Tendenzen der modernen, teils realistischen, teils allegorischen, immer aber kritisch-engagierten Literatur Asiens laden zum internationalen Literaturvergleich ein. Die einheimischen Kurzgeschichten (11 davon hier in deutscher Erstubersetzung) und Romane in den Sprachen Hindi, Urdu und Tamil, in Chinesisch ebenso wie in Arabisch, Turkisch und Persisch setzen sich auseinander mit Fundamentalismus und religiosem Fanatismus, mit dem Widerstreit zwischen nationaler Orthodoxie und globaler Multikulturalitat und mit der Identitatssuche des Individuums in der Anonymitat der afro-asiatischen Megametropolen. Mit ihren aktuellen Inhalten und neu entwickelten Erzahltechniken behaupten die Autoren und Autorinnen Asiens ihren eigenstandigen Platz in der Weltliteratur.

Metabolism was a movement launched in Japan that took inspiration for buildings and cities from biological systems. With interviews and commentary and hundreds of images, Project Japan unearths a history that casts new light on the key issues that both enervate and motivate architecture today.
This volume is an attempt to contextualise the coup attempt of 15 July 2016 in Turkey, within the framework of militarism and masculinities. The immediate aftermath of the 15 July in Turkey witnessed confusion, contestation and negotiation among different narratives, until a hegemonic version was superimposed on the collective memory as part of official history building. This project is an attempt to bring a fresh and critical perspective by compiling together analyses from various disciplines of political science, media and film studies, literature, sociology and cultural studies. Several chapters of this volume delineate the paradox of “victorious militarism,” meaning that despite the failure of the coup, its aftermath has been shaped by a new wave of state-sponsored gendered militarism, with the establishment of a regime of “state of emergency.”

Architecture is a doing word. You can learn a great deal about the workings of architecture through analysing examples but a fuller understanding of its powers and potential comes through practice, by trying to do it... This book offers student architects a series of exercises that will develop their capacity for doing architecture. Exercises in Architecture builds on and supplements the methodology for architectural analysis presented in the author’s previous book Analysing Architecture (third edition, Routledge, 2009) and demonstrated in his Twenty Buildings Every Architect Should Understand (Routledge, 2010). The three books taken together deal with the three aspects of learning: description, analysis of examples, and practice. The book offers twelve exercises, each divided into a short series of tasks aimed at developing a particular theme or area of architectural capacity. The exercises deal with themes such as place-making, learning through drawing, framing, light, , uses of geometry, stage setting, eliciting emotional responses, the genetics of detail and so forth.
