Abstract

"Globalism is often discussed using abstract terms, such as 'networks' or 'flows' and usually in relation to recent history. Global Design History moves us past this limited view of globalism, broadening our sense of this key term in history and theory. Individual chapters focus our attention on objects, and the stories they can tell us about cultural interactions on a global scale. They place these concrete things into contexts, such as trade, empire, mediation, and various forms of design practice."--Jacket.

Abstract

"The construction and representation of meaning through the interplay of place making, art and architecture, and collective memory have always given shape to the expressive intent of designers and consequently, has embodied identity within the built environment. This book explores the relationship between identity in architecture and the related themes of place, memory and representation. It does so by examining the nature of their intersections and transgressions of their traditional boundaries within evolving globalisation. The expedited globalised process of exchange and new forms of cultural production have transformed old established notions of identity, calling into question their conceptual foundations. This book explores the spatial and representational dimension of this phenomenon, by addressing how the reshaping of the key themes of place, architecture and memory are altering the nature, as well as, our understanding of identity. Cutting across boundaries, the book drives discussion of identity beyond the well-worn concern for its loss within a globalised context, and importantly provides links between identity, place, memory and representation in architecture. It addresses such issues as architecture technology, place and memory - critical issues in the monitoring and mapping of identity shift within a rapidly globalising context. Including a range of case studies and with contributions from eminent individuals, this book presents fresh insights and diverse perspectives on the evolving question of identity and globalisation"-- "The expedited globalised process of exchange and new forms of cultural production have transformed old established notions of identity, calling into question their conceptual foundations.

Abstract

The term “global village”—coined in the 1960s by Marshall McLuhan—has persisted into the twenty-first century as a key trope of techno-humanitarian discourse, casting economic and technical transformations in a utopian light. Against that tendency, this book excavates the violent history, originating with techniques of colonial rule in Africa, that gave rise to the concept of the global village. To some extent, we are all global villagers, but given the imbalances of semiotic power, some belong more thoroughly than others. Reassessing McLuhan’s media theories in light of their entanglement with colonial and neocolonial techniques, Nolan implicates various arch-paradigms of power (including “terra-power”) in the larger prerogative of managing human populations.Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.

Abstract

Dans la collection 'Médias, Sociétés et Relations Internationales', trois ouvrages abordaient la question des minorités culturelles historiques dans les pays latins d'Europe, en Afrique et dans les Pays d'Europe Centrale et Orientale, cet ouvrage apporte des regards complémentaires sur l'Europe, les continents américains et l'Asie. Les constats mis en évidence montrent bien que le sujet est universel et loin d'être traité de façon satisfaisante au sein des États du monde. Tout en relevant des pratiques convergentes ou divergentes, il permet aussi d'apprécier l'action des institutions internationales et des organisations de la société civile allant dans le sens de la reconnaissance et du respect de la diversité culturelle avec leurs spécificités (langues, cultures, traditions, religions etc.).
