Towards a Critique of Architecture’s Contemporaneity 4 Essays Pursuing historical analogies between nineteenth-century theories and the current practices captivated by digital reproducibility this book offers a critical take on architecture’s contemporaneity through four essays: tectonics materiality cladding and labor. Fundamental to this proposition is the historicity of Gottfried Semper’s theorization of architecture amidst the outpouring of new materials and construction techniques during the 1850s. Starting with Semper’s differentiation between theatricalization and the tectonic of theatricality this book examines thematic essential to architecture’s self-representation. Even though the title of this book recalls the Semperian Four Elements of Architecture its argument encapsulates a unique historico-theoretical project probing the tectonic of theatricality beyond Semper. The invisible tie between technique and labor is the cord running through the four subjects covered in this book. In exploring these subjects from the theoretical standpoint of Marxian dialectics this book’s contribution is focused on but not limited to the topicality of labor today when its relationship with capital has been further obscured by the prevailing digitalization of commodity exchange value starting roughly in the 1990s. Each essay examines Semper’s theorization of architecture in contradistinction to the ways in which technology’s mediation has dominated architecture’s representation. Burrowing through the invisible tie between technique and work asymptomatic of architecture’s predicament in global capitalism Towards a Critique of Architecture’s Contemporaneity advances the scope of architectural criticism beyond the exhausted formalism and architecture’s turn to philosophy circa the 1980s and the present tendencies for presentism. It will therefore be of interest to researchers and students of architectural history and theory. | Towards a Critique of Architecture’s Contemporaneity 4 Essays GBP 44.99 1

Art and Liberation Collected Papers of Herbert Marcuse Volume 4 The role of art in Marcuse’s work has often been neglected misinterpreted or underplayed. His critics accused him of a religion of art and aesthetics that leads to an escape from politics and society. Yet as this volume demonstrates Marcuse analyzes culture and art in the context of how it produces forces of domination and resistance in society and his writings on culture and art generate the possibility of liberation and radical social transformation. The material in this volume is a rich collection of many of Marcuse’s published and unpublished writings interviews and talks including ‘Lyric Poetry after Auschwitz’ reflections on Proust and Letters on Surrealism; a poem by Samuel Beckett for Marcuse’s eightieth birthday with exchange of letters; and many articles that explore the role of art in society and how it provides possibilities for liberation. This volume will be of interest to those new to Marcuse generally acknowledged as a major figure in the intellectual and social milieus of the 1960s and 1970s as well as to the specialist giving access to a wealth of material from the Marcuse Archive in Frankfurt and his private collection in San Diego some of it published here in English for the first time. A comprehensive introduction by Douglas Kellner reflects on the genesis development and tensions within Marcuse’s aesthetic while an afterword by Gerhard Schweppenhäuser summarizes their relevance for the contemporary era. | Art and Liberation Collected Papers of Herbert Marcuse Volume 4 GBP 44.99 1
Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management 4. Risk Reduction Technologies and Case Studies The four volumes of the book series Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management deal with environmental management assessment & monitoring tools environmental toxicology and risk reduction technologies. This last volume focuses on engineering solutions usually needed for industrial contaminated sites where nature’s self-remediation is inefficient or too slow. The success of remediation depends on the selection of an increasing number of conventional and innovative methods. This volume classifies the remedial technologies and describes the reactor approach to understand and manage in situ technologies similarly to reactor-based technologies. Technology types include physicochemical biological or ecological solutions where near-natural sustainable remediation has priority. A special chapter is devoted to natural attenuation where natural changes can help achieve clean-up objectives. Natural attenuation and biological and ecological remediation establish a serial range of technologies from monitoring only to fully controlled interventions using ‘ just’ the natural ecosystem or sophisticated artificial living systems. Passive artificial ecosystems and biodegradation-based remediation – in addition to natural attenuation – demonstrate the use of these ‘green’ technologies and how engineering intervention should be kept at a minimum to limit damage to the environment and create a harmonious ecosystem. Remediation of sites contaminated with organic substances is analyzed in detail including biological and physicochemical methods. Comprehensive management of pollution by inorganic contaminants from the mining industry leaching and bioleaching and acid mine drainage is studied in general and specifically in the case of an abandoned mine in Hungary where the innovative technology of combined chemical and phytostabilization has been applied. The series of technologies is completed by electrochemical remediation and nanotechnologies. Monitoring verification and sustainability analysis of remediation provide a comprehensive overview of the management aspect of environmental risk reduction by remediation. This book series focuses on the state of knowledge about the environment and its conscious and structured application in environmental engineering management and decision making. | Engineering Tools for Environmental Risk Management 4.
