Synopsis

Urban Settings explores the dynamic relationship between urban environments and storytelling in genre fiction. It argues that cities aren't just backdrops but active participants shaping narratives, influencing everything from character development to thematic resonance. For instance, architectural design choices can establish specific moods, while urban planning can exacerbate conflict. This is particularly relevant for those in social sciences, architecture, and urban studies.

 
The book uniquely dissects how elements like public squares and iconic buildings function as stages for conflict, driving plot developments. It also examines how social stratification in cities impacts themes of power and justice. Understanding this interplay requires familiarity with architectural styles, urban planning, and sociological concepts, offering a new lens to interpret urban complexities in storytelling.

 
Beginning with architectural semiotics and its role in setting tone, the book progresses to explore specific urban features as catalysts for conflict. It culminates by consolidating these findings, showcasing how urban environments symbolize and reinforce social, political, and cultural anxieties, using case studies from diverse genres. This approach makes it valuable for academics, writers, and city planners alike.

Can Thought Stop? - Amsterdam...

Jiddu Krishnamurti

"Can thought stop? - 28 May 1967  
• When there is a process of recognition it is the projection of the past. The mind 
is always functioning within the field of time, which is of memory. Can the 
mind go beyond that? 
• What is pleasure and what is desire? 
• How is it possible, without control, subjugation or denying, for thought not to 
allow itself to interfere? 
• When all authority of every kind is put aside, denied, then you can find out for 
yourself. 
• When you are completely attentive, you see. It is only love that sees - not 
thought, the mind or the intellect. One has to learn how to look, how to hear. 
• Q: Could you distinguish between what you mean by the word ‘recognizing’ 
and ‘being aware’? 
• Q: How is one to break off a concept that one has carefully built?"

The original was written by William Strunk Jr. in 1918, and it was published by Harcourt in 1920, comprising eight "elementary rules of usage," ten "elementary principles of composition," "a few matters of form," a list of 49 "words and expressions commonly misused," and a list of 57 "words often misspelled." Strunk concentrated on the cultivation of good writing and composition; the original 1918 edition exhorted writers to "omit needless words," use the active voice, and employ parallelism appropriately."
