Rethinking Global Modernism : Architectural Historiography and the Postcolonial Paperback / softback
Edited by Vikramaditya (University of Washington, Seattle, USA) Prakash, Maristella (Getty Research Institute, USA) Casciato, Daniel E. (Western Washington University, USA) Coslett
Paperback / softback
Description
This anthology collects developing scholarship that outlines a new decentred history of global modernism in architecture using postcolonial and other related theoretical frameworks.
By both revisiting the canons of modernism and seeking to decolonize and globalize those canons, the volume explores what a genuinely "global" history of architectural modernism might begin to look like.
Its chapters explore the historiography and weaknesses of modernism's normative interpretations and propose alternatives to them.
The collection offers essays that interrogate transnationalism in new ways, reconsiders the agency of the subaltern and the roles played by infrastructures, materials, and global institutions in propagating a diversity of modernisms internationally.
Issues such as colonial modernism, architectural pedagogy, cultural imperialism, and spirituality are engaged.
With essays from both established scholars and up-and-coming researchers, this is an important reference for a new understanding of this crucial and developing topic.
