Beschreibung
What are Marxist architectural history and criticism? What methods do they employ, and what are their objects of critical analysis? These questions have been asked before, but now more than ever, they require reassessment in light of the continuous expansion and revision of Marxism in response to new global crises. Struggles in the Concrete: Architecture and the Marxist Tradition embarks on this endeavour. The eleven chapters not only reconsider classical Marxist categories and historical conjunctures, but also devise new critical frameworks for analysing architecture and capitalism today. The book reconsiders neglected figures like Marta Lonzi, Sérgio Ferro, and Anthony D. King, as well as re-engaging with major figures like Siegfried Kracauer, Manfredo Tafuri, and Stuart Hall. - Tool for critical thinking in the current architectural discourse on global crises Contributions by renowned architectural historians and theorists: Claire Zimmerman, Katie Lloyd Thomas, Silke Kapp, Nicholas Thoburn, Onyeka Igwe
