Sinopse

City Development explores the fascinating evolution of cities, from ancient settlements to modern metropolises, focusing on urban planning's historical trajectory. It examines how cities reflect societal values, political ideologies, and economic forces, revealing that urban planning is more than just a technical discipline. The book highlights the interplay between urban form and social function, illustrating how different eras have prioritized different aspects of urban life. The book argues that understanding the past is crucial for building equitable and resilient urban futures.

For example, early urban settlements in Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley laid foundational principles of urban design. Later, Greek and Roman city planning significantly influenced urban landscapes, demonstrating the profound impact of historical precedent. The book progresses through eras, analyzing the influence of the Renaissance and Industrial Revolution, and addresses contemporary issues like sustainability and social equity.

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on the social and political dimensions of urban planning, revealing how power dynamics shape urban form. Using diverse evidence like archaeological findings and historical maps, City Development provides a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between history, architecture, and society. This approach makes it valuable for students, professionals, and anyone interested in urban history, architecture, and the future of city development.

Deep Reading - Practices to...

Rachel B. Griffis, Rachel M. De...

This book helps readers develop practices that will result in deep, formative, and faithful reading so they can contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth. 
 
 
 
The authors present reading as a remedy for three prevalent cultural vices—distraction, hostility, and consumerism—that impact the possibility of formative reading. Informed by James K. A. Smith's work on "the spiritual power of habit," Deep Reading provides resources for engaging in formative and culturally subversive reading practices that teach readers how to resist vices, love virtue, and desire the good. 
 
 
 
Rather than emphasizing the spiritual benefits of reading specific texts such as Dante's Divine Comedy or Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the authors focus on the practice of reading itself. They examine practices many teachers, students, and avid readers employ—such as reading lists, reading logs, and discussion—and demonstrate how such practices can be more effectively and intentionally harnessed to result in deepreading. The practices apply to any work that is meant to be read deeply.

Art Monsters - Unruly Bodies in...

Lauren Elkin

Coming across the term "art monster" in Jenny Offill's 2014 novel Dept. of Speculation, Lauren Elkin was intrigued. What kinds of connections might there be between art and monstrosity, and how was it different when the artist in question was a woman? 
 
 
 
Art Monsters is a landmark feminist intervention in the way we think about women's stories and bodies, calling attention to a radical genealogy of feminist art that not only reacts against patriarchy but redefines its own aesthetic aims. Exploring a rich lineage of visual artists, thinkers, and writers, Elkin examines the ways feminists have confronted the problem of how to tell the truth of their experiences as bodies. Queer bodies, sick bodies, raced bodies, female bodies: What are the languages of the body, and what are the materials we need to transcribe them? Above all, how can we use the notion of the feminist "art monster" to shape how we live our lives? 
 
 
 
Writing in the tradition of Susan Sontag and Maggie Nelson, Elkin demonstrates her power as a cultural critic in this erudite and engaging book. From Kara Walker's silhouettes to Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's trilingual masterpiece Dictee, Art Monsters daringly weaves links between disparate artists and writers, and shows that their work offers a potent defense of beauty and excess, sentiment and touch, ambiguity and opacity.
