The expedited globalised process of exchange and new forms of
cultural production have transformed old established notions of
identity, calling into question their conceptual foundations. This
book explores the spatial and representational dimension of this
phenomenon, by addressing how the reshaping of the key themes of
place, architecture and memory are altering the nature, as well as,
our understanding of identity. Cutting across boundaries, the book
drives discussion of identity beyond the well-worn concern for its
loss within a globalised context, and importantly provides links
between identity, place, memory and representation in architecture.
Examining a range of case studies from Australia, Germany, India,
Japan, Mexico, Poland, Puerto Rico, Turkey and Singapore, as well
as with contributions cutting across geographical and temporal
boundaries, this volume addresses such issues as architecture
technology, place and memory - critical issues in the monitoring
and mapping of identity shift within a rapidly globalising context.
With contributions from renowned authors in the field including
Nicholas Temple, Patsy Hely, Robert Brown, Liane Lefaivre, John
Hendrix, Ana Souto, Fiona MacLaren, Stephen Walker, Nezar AlSayyad,
Andrzej Piotrowski, Catherine Ettinger, Luz Marie Rodriguez, and
Raymond Quek this book presents fresh insights and diverse
perspectives on the evolving question of identity and
globalisation.
