Review
" As it traces the derailings and mistranslations of utopian intentions, "(The Sphere and the Labyrinth) "offers a powerful corrective to conventional histories emphasizing the heroism of the avant-garde. It... also forces the question of whether an ethical architecture is possible." -- Christina Spellman, "Telos" " Tafuri's work is probably the most innovative and exciting new form of European theory since French poststructuralism and this book is probably the best introduction to it for the newcomer. His diagnosis of the dilemmas of modernity and of late capitalism extends the Frankfurt School in new ways, and is bleak implacable, and for that very reason therapeutic and painfully stimulating." -- Fredric Jameson & quot; As it traces the derailings and mistranslations of utopian intentions, (The Sphere and the Labyrinth) offers a powerful corrective to conventional histories emphasizing the heroism of the avant-garde.
