The Inhabited Ruins of Central Europe - Re-imagining Space, History, and Memory (Hardcover)

The eleven essays in this volume explore the surprising resilience
of productive instabilities enclosed in historical asymmetries,
cultural paradoxes, and misplaced topographies. The recent history
of Central Europe - a history that vividly blurs the line between
imagination and reality - is a particularly vibrant case study of
such dynamics, the same dynamics that lie at the heart of modern
perception.
It investigates how varied and opposing tendencies co-exist and are
transposed from one cultural and temporal register to another; how
they emerge and are maintained in constantly renewed, productive
tensions - what we call 'inhabited ruins.' Along the way the reader
will encounter music from the Terezin concentration camp as a
reversed Potemkin village, the BMW as an itinerant lieu de memoire,
Mies van der Rohe's architecture as spaces belonging nowhere,
anxious geographies, extra-territorial sounds, misremembered
avant-gardes, and post-apocalyptic identities that fell out of
time.
