Soft cover. Condition: New. Log 53 asks the simple yet provocative question "Why Italy Now?" The responses are as diverse and multifaceted as the country itself. Exploring this seemingly well-trodden ground, one discovers that because of its historic centrality and its precarity Italy remains relevant to the challenges facing architecture today. As contributor Giulia Amoresano writes: "Amid calls today to challenge the Eurocentrism of canonical histories of architecture's modernity and to work on decolonizing its theories and practices, work needs to be done on what we think canonical spaces are." Log 53 is guest edited by Alicia Imperiale in New York and Manuel Orazi in Macerata. Essays include philosopher Giorgio Agamben on a Venetian door, theorist Mario Carpo on blight in Piedmont, architect ElDante' Winston on violence in Bologna, historian Edward Eigen on the Club of Rome, architect Fabrizio Furiassi on the Mafia in Sicily, and reporter Mario Calvo-Platero on colonial architecture in Tripoli. Emilia Giorgi explores unplanned greenery in Rome, while Gabriele Mastrigli highlights the planned greenery of EUR. Iwan Strauven reviews books on Carlo Aymonino and Aldo Rossi, Britt Eversole parses the trove of untranslated Italian theory, and Ingrid D. Rowland details her translation of Vitruvius. Paulette Singley sets the place for Italian cuisine, and Giulia Amoresano sources caffè espresso in the colonization of southern Italy. An Tairan revisits an 18th-century earthquake, Daniele Profeta analyzes the impact of the 19th-century Grand Tour, and Davide Spina exposes the dark side of postwar architecture culture. Greg Lynn talks with art historian Marilyn Aronberg Lavin about her digital analysis of Piero della Francesca, and Patrick Templeton asks writer and podcaster Alex Hochuli about Italy's political legacy. Log 53 also presents projects by women building in Italy today Lina Malfona, Elisabetta Terragni, and Maria Alessandra Segantini as well as in the past overlooked Neapolitan modernist Stefania Filo Speziale.

Brossura. Condition: new. Torino, 2018; br., pp. 152.(Le Scommesse. 535). Il mondo ha avuto un'evoluzione politica diversa da quella cui siamo abituati, tanto che, in un tempo riconducibile ai nostri giorni, esiste un unico Stato: Pancrazia. Pancrazia è la democrazia ideale. Non ci sono più frontiere, confini invalicabili, mercanti di profughi: i popoli sono tutti uguali e ognuno può muoversi liberamente. A Pancrazia le guerre sono ormai solo un lontano ricordo, perché non c'è più nulla da conquistare. Questa situazione idilliaca in realtà è imposta dai burocrati, i quali, ebbri del loro potere, garantiscono l'ordine e la pace attraverso l'uso della forza militare. Ma non solo, dato che strumenti molto più sofisticati vengono applicati. I vertici dell'autoritario Governo centrale hanno compreso che, per continuare ad amministrare Pancrazia e godere dei benefici acquisiti, devono mantenere subdolamente le masse al livello culturale più basso possibile. L'equazione è semplice: meno le persone apprendono, meno saranno in grado di analizzare criticamente la realtà e meno problemi ci saranno per l'ordine costituito. Libro.

Paperback. Condition: New. Winner of ASOR's 2022 G. Ernest Wright Award for the most substantial volume dealing with archaeological material, excavation reports and material culture from the ancient Near East and Eastern Mediterranean. This is a complete history of Antioch, one of the most significant major cities of the eastern Mediterranean and a crossroads for the Silk Road, from its foundation by the Seleucids, through Roman rule, the rise of Christianity, Islamic and Byzantine conquests, to the Crusades and beyond.Antioch has typically been treated as a city whose classical glory faded permanently amid a series of natural disasters and foreign invasions in the sixth and seventh centuries CE. Such studies have obstructed the view of Antioch's fascinating urban transformations from classical to medieval to modern city and the processes behind these transformations. Through its comprehensive blend of textual sources and new archaeological data reanalyzed from Princeton's 1930s excavations and recent discoveries, this book offers unprecedented insights into the complete history of Antioch, recreating the lives of the people who lived in it and focusing on the factors that affected them during the evolution of its remarkable cityscape. While Antioch's built environment is central, the book also utilizes landscape archaeological work to consider the city in relation to its hinterland, and numismatic evidence to explore its economics. The outmoded portrait of Antioch as a sadly perished classical city par excellence gives way to one in which it shines as brightly in its medieval Islamic, Byzantine, and Crusader incarnations. Antioch: A History offers a new portal to researching this long-lasting city and is also suitable for a wide variety of teaching needs, both undergraduate and graduate, in the fields of classics, history, urban studies, archaeology, Silk Road studies, and Near Eastern/Middle Eastern studies. Just as importantly, its clarity makes it attractive for, and accessible to, a general readership outside the framework of formal instruction.
