Book Synopsis Constructing Identity in Contemporary Architecture by : Peter Herrle
Download or read book Constructing Identity in Contemporary Architecture written by Peter Herrle and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2009 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global spread of uniform modes of production and cultural values has been accompanied by a dissemination of stereotypes of "modern" architecture styles almost everywhere around the globe. Paradoxically, the reverse process has also emerged: In some countries, the elites feel the necessity to counterbalance the "loss of identity" and defend their own cultures against the "intruding" forces of globalization. What started as a defensive notion has developed into a more progressive attempt to re-create what has allegedly been lost. This trend is being strongly expressed in discourses about architecture in countries of the South. Who are the actors feeling compelled to "construct" new identities? How are these new identities in architecture created in various parts of the world? And, which are the ingredients borrowed from various historical and ethnic traditions and other sources? These and other questions are discussed in five case studies from different parts of the world, written by renowned scholars from Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, India and Singapore.

Book Synopsis Cosmopolitanism in Mexican Visual Culture by : María Fernández
Download or read book Cosmopolitanism in Mexican Visual Culture written by María Fernández and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the colonial era, Mexican art has emerged from an ongoing process of negotiation between the local and the global, which frequently involves invention, synthesis, and transformation of diverse discursive and artistic traditions. In this pathfinding book, María Fernández uses the concept of cosmopolitanism to explore this important aspect of Mexican art, in which visual culture and power relations unite the local and the global, the national and the international, the universal and the particular. She argues that in Mexico, as in other colonized regions, colonization constructed power dynamics and forms of violence that persisted in the independent nation-state. Accordingly, Fernández presents not only the visual qualities of objects, but also the discourses, ideas, desires, and practices that are fundamental to the very existence of visual objects. Fernández organizes episodes in the history of Mexican art and architecture, ranging from the seventeenth century to the end of the twentieth century, around the consistent but unacknowledged historical theme of cosmopolitanism, allowing readers to discern relationships among various historical periods and works that are new and yet simultaneously dependent on their predecessors. She uses case studies of art and architecture produced in response to government commissions to demonstrate that established visual forms and meanings in Mexican art reflect and inform desires, expectations, memories, and ways of being in the world—in short, that visual culture and cosmopolitanism are fundamental to processes of subjectification and identity.

Book Synopsis Cultural Code by : Phillip Penix-Tadsen
Download or read book Cultural Code written by Phillip Penix-Tadsen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How culture uses games and how games use culture: an examination of Latin America's gaming practices and the representation of the region's cultures in games. Video games are becoming an ever more ubiquitous element of daily life, played by millions on devices that range from smart phones to desktop computers. An examination of this phenomenon reveals that video games are increasingly being converted into cultural currency. For video game designers, culture is a resource that can be incorporated into games; for players, local gaming practices and specific social contexts can affect their playing experiences. In Cultural Code, Phillip Penix-Tadsen shows how culture uses games and how games use culture, looking at examples related to Latin America. Both static code and subjective play have been shown to contribute to the meaning of games; Penix-Tadsen introduces culture as a third level of creating meaning. Penix-Tadsen focuses first on how culture uses games, looking at the diverse practices of play in Latin America, the ideological and intellectual uses of games, and the creative and economic possibilities opened up by video games in Latin America—the evolution of regional game design and development. Examining how games use culture, Penix-Tadsen discusses in-game cultural representations of Latin America in a range of popular titles (pointing out, for example, appearances of Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer statue in games from Call of Duty to the tourism-promoting Brasil Quest). He analyzes this through semiotics, the signifying systems of video games and the specific signifiers of Latin American culture; space, how culture is incorporated into different types of game environments; and simulation, the ways that cultural meaning is conveyed procedurally and algorithmically through gameplay mechanics.

Book Synopsis Ready Player Juan by : Carlos Gabriel Kelly González
Download or read book Ready Player Juan written by Carlos Gabriel Kelly González and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written for all gaming enthusiasts, this book fuses Latinx studies and video game studies to document how Latinx masculinities are portrayed in high-budget action-adventure video games, inviting Latinxs and others to insert their experiences into games made by an industry that fails to see them. The book employs an intersectional approach through performance theory, border studies, and lived experience to analyze the designed identity “Player Juan.” Player Juan manifests in video game representations through a discourse of criminality that sets expectations of who and what Latinxs can be and do. Developing an original approach to video game experiences, the author theorizes video games as border crossings, and defines a new concept—digital mestizaje—that pushes players, readers, and scholars to deploy a Latinx way of seeing and that calls on researchers to consider a digital object’s constructive as well as destructive qualities.

Book Synopsis Contemporary architecture by : Miquel Adrià
Download or read book Contemporary architecture written by Miquel Adrià and published by Editorial Gustavo Gili. This book was released on 1996 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Mexico, como en otros lugares y a veces en otros tiempos, identificar un modo de hacer, un estilo, una actitud "correcta" con una tradicion, como estimulo de la identificacion nacionalista, tiende a encauzar la creacion hacia el estereotipo y la imitacion devaluada del modelo seguido, frustra la expresion de un pais rico y complejo, capaz de asimilar la globalizacion actual de nuestro fin de milenio. La seleccion de obras representadas en este libro, que como toda seleccion tiene algo de subjetivo y arbitrario, pretende regirse solo por la calidad arquitectonica, con independencia de las tendencias o escuelas a las que, abierta o veladamente, pertenezca cada autor. Por ello se han seleccionado obras de arquitectos de consolidado prestigio nacional e internacional con jovenes poco conocidos. Tambien estilistica y formalmente comparten el libro y la realidad arquitectonica mexicana corrientes tan diversas como el expresionismo volumetrico de Teodoro Gonzalez de Leon y las abstracciones de elementos vernaculos de Ricardo Legorreta, en contraste con las obras de Enrique Norten, proximas a las corrientes internacionales del momento. Tipologicamente, este libro muestra desde remodelaciones, de centros historicos o de casas, hasta distintos tipos de edificios de nueva planta.
