Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability

Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability

It’s widely accepted that our environment is in crisis. Less widely recognized is that three quarters of environmental damage is due to cities – the places where most of us live. As this powerful new book elucidates global sustainability is therefore directly dependent on urban design. In Living Architecture Living Cities Christopher Day and Julie Gwilliam move beyond the current emphasis on technological change. They argue that eco-technology allows us to continue broadly as before and only defers the impending disaster. In reality most negative environmental impacts are due to how we live and the things we buy. Such personal choices often result from dissatisfaction with our surroundings. As perceived environment has a direct effect on attitudes and motivations improving this can achieve more sustainable lifestyles more effectively than drastic building change – with its notorious performance-gap limitations. As it’s in places that our inner feelings and material reality interact perceived environment is place-based. Ultimately however as the root cause of unsustainability is attitude real change requires moving from the current focus on buildings and technology to an emphasis on the non-material. Featuring over 400 high quality illustrations this is essential reading for anyone who believes in the value and power of good design. Christopher Day’s philosophy will continue to inspire students with an interest in sustainable architecture urban planning and related fields. | Living Architecture Living Cities Soul-Nourishing Sustainability

Living Construction

Living Construction

Modern biotechnologies give us unprecedented control of the fundamental building blocks of life. For designers across a range of disciplines emerging fields such as synthetic biology offer the promise of new sustainable materials and structures which may be grown are self-assembling self-healing and adaptable to change. While there is a thriving speculative discourse on the future of design in the age of biotechnology there are few realized design applications. This book the first in the Bio Design series acts as a bridge between design speculation and scientific reality and between contemporary design thinking in areas such as architecture product design and fashion design and the traditional engineering approaches which currently dominate biotechnologies. Filled with real examples Living Construction reveals how living cells construct and transform materials through methods of fabrication and assembly at multiple scales and how designers can utilize these processes.

The Mirror Neuron System A Special Issue of Social Neuroscience

The Mirror Neuron System A Special Issue of Social Neuroscience

Mirror neurons are premotor neurons originally discovered in the macaque brain that discharge both during execution of goal-directed actions and during the observation of similar actions executed by another individual. They therefore ‘mirror’ others’ actions on the observer's motor repertoire. In the last decade an impressive amount of work has been devoted to the study of their properties and to investigate if they are present also in our species. Neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques have shown that a mirror-neuron system does exist in the human brain as well. Among ‘mirror’ human areas Broca’s area (the frontal area for speech production) is almost constantly activated by action observation. This suggests a possible evolutionary link between action understanding and verbal communication. In the most recent years mirror-like phenomena have been demonstrated also for domains others than the pure motor one. Examples of that are the somatosensory and the emotional systems possibly providing a neurophysiological basis to phenomena such as embodiment and empathy. This special issue collects some of the most representative works on the mirror-neuron system to give a panoramic view on current research and to stimulate new experiments in this exciting field. | The Mirror Neuron System A Special Issue of Social Neuroscience

Living Theodrama Reimagining Theological Ethics

Living Theodrama Reimagining Theological Ethics

Living Theodrama is a fresh creative introduction to theological ethics. Offering an imaginative approach through dialogue with theatrical theory and practice Vander Lugt demonstrates a new way to integrate actor-oriented and action-oriented approaches to Christian ethics within a comprehensive theodramatic model. This model affirms that life is a drama performed in the company of God and others providing rich metaphors for relating theology to everyday formation and performance in this drama. Different chapters explore the role of the triune God Scripture tradition the church mission and context in the process of formation and performance thus dealing separately with major themes in theological ethics while incorporating them within an overarching model. This book contains not only a fruitful exchange between theological ethics and theatre but it also presents a promising method for interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and the arts that will be valuable for students and practitioners across many different fields. | Living Theodrama Reimagining Theological Ethics

Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond Surviving Martyrdom

Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond Surviving Martyrdom

This book demonstrates that living martyrdom was an important spiritual aspiration in the late antique Latin west and argues that consequently attempts to define study or locate martyrdom must move away from conceptualizations that require or center on death. After an introduction that traces the persistence of living martyrs as real objects of spiritual devotion and emulation across the span of Christian history and discusses why such martyrs have been overlooked the book focuses on three significant authors from the late ancient Latin west for whom martyrdom did not require death: the Spanish poet Prudentius (c. 348–413) the senator-turned-ascetic Paulinus of Nola (353–431) and the influential North African bishop Augustine of Hippo (354–430). Through historically and literarily contextualized close readings of their work this book shows that each of these three authors attempted to create a new paradigm of martyrdom focused on living rather than dying for God. By focusing on these living martyrs we are able to see more clearly the aspirations and agendas of those who promoted them as martyrs and how their martyrological discourse illuminates the variety of ways that martyrdom is and can be mobilized (in any era) to construct new community-creating worldviews. Living Martyrs in Late Antiquity and Beyond is an important resource for historians of Christianity scholars of religious studies and anyone interested in exploring or understanding martyrological discourse. The Introduction of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www. routledge. com.

Surviving Theatre The Living Archive of Spectatorship

Surviving Theatre The Living Archive of Spectatorship

Written soon before and in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic when theatre ground to a halt and spectatorship was suspended this book takes stock of spectatorship as theatre’s living archive and affirms its value in the midst of the present crisis. Drawing from a manifold affective archive of performances and installations (by Marina Abramović Ron Athey Forced Entertainment Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio Blast Theory LIGNA Doris Salcedo Graeme Miller Lenz Rifrazioni Cristina Rizzo etc. ) and expanding on the work of many theorists and scholars such as Roland Barthes and Jacques Rancière Giorgio Agamben and Alain Badiou Nicholas Ridout and Alan Read among others the book focuses on the spectator as the subject rather than the object of investigation. This is the right time to remember their secret power and theorise their collective time in the theatre. This book is an archive of their adventure and a manifesto rooted in their potentiality. It boldly posits the spectator as the inaugurator of theatre the surplus that survives it. The book will be of great interest to spectators all and sundry to scholars and students of theatre and performance studies of spectatorship and politics. | Surviving Theatre The Living Archive of Spectatorship

Disney Theme Parks and America’s National Narratives Mirror Mirror for Us All

Disney Theme Parks and America’s National Narratives Mirror Mirror for Us All

Disney Theme Parks and America’s National Narratives takes a public history approach to situating the physical spaces of the Disney brand within memory and identity studies. For over 65 years Disney’s theme parks have been important locations for the formation and negotiation of the collective memory of the American narrative. Disney’s success as one of America’s most prolific storytellers its rise as a symbol of America itself and its creation of theme parks that immerse visitors in three-dimensional versions of certain American values and historic myths have both echoed and shaped the way the American people see themselves. Like all versions of the American narrative Disney’s vision serves to reassure us affirm our shared values and unite a diverse group of people under a distinctly American identity—or at least it did. The book shows how the status Disney obtained led the public to use them both as touchstones of identity and as spaces to influence the American identity writ large. This volume also examines the following: • how Disney’s original cartoons and live-action entertainment offerings drew from American folk history and ideals • how their work during World War II cemented them as an American symbol at home and abroad • how the materialization of the American themes already espoused by the brand at their theme parks created a place where collective memory lives • how legitimization by presidents and other national figures gave the theme parks standing no other entertainment space has • how Disney has changed alongside the American people and continues to do so today. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of history media cultural studies American studies and tourism. | Disney Theme Parks and America’s National Narratives Mirror Mirror for Us All
