About the practices and politics of place and identity formation
a " the slippery ways in which who we are becomes wrapped up with
where we are a " this book exposes the relations of place to power.
It links everyday aspects of place experience to the social
theories of Deleuze and Bourdieu in a very readable manner. This is
a book that takes the social critique of built form another step
through detailed fieldwork and analysis in particular case
studies.
Through a broad range of case studies from nationalist monuments
and new urbanist suburbs to urban laneways and avant garde
interiors, questions are explored such as: What is neighborhood
character? How do squatter settlements work and does it matter what
they look like? Can architecture liberate? How do monuments and
public spaces shape or stabilize national identity?
