Fallen Monuments and Contested Memorials

Fallen Monuments and Contested Memorials

Fallen Monuments and Contested Memorials examines how the modification destruction or absence of monuments and memorials can be viewed as performative acts that challenge prescribed embodied narratives in the public realm. Bringing together international multidisciplinary approaches the chapters in this volume interrogate the ways in which memorial constructions disclose implicitly and explicitly the proxy battle for public memory and identity particularly since 2015. Acknowledging the ways in which the past — which is given agency through monuments and memorials — intrudes into daily life this volume offers perspectives from researchers that answer questions about the roles of monuments and memorials as persistent yet mutable works whose meanings are not fixed but are rather subject to processes of continual re-interpretation. By using monuments and memorials as lenses through which to view race memory and the legacies of war power and subjugation this volume demonstrates how these works and their visible representations of entitlement possession control and authority can offer the opportunity to pose and answer questions about whose memory matters and what our symbols say about who we are and what we value. Fallen Monuments and Contested Memorials is essential reading for scholars and students studying cultural heritage history art history and public history. It will be particularly useful to those with an interest in public monuments and memorials; colonial and post-colonial history; memory studies; and nationalism race and ethnic studies.

Viking-Age Trade Silver Slaves and Gotland

Viking-Age Trade Silver Slaves and Gotland

That there was an influx of silver dirhams from the Muslim world into eastern and northern Europe in the ninth and tenth centuries is well known as is the fact that the largest concentration of hoards is on the Baltic island of Gotland. Recent discoveries have shown that dirhams were reaching the British Isles too. What brought the dirhams to northern Europe in such large numbers? The fur trade has been proposed as one driver for transactions but the slave trade offers another – complementary – explanation. This volume does not offer a comprehensive delineation of the hoard finds or a full answer to the question of what brought the silver north. But it highlights the trade in slaves as driving exchanges on a trans-continental scale. By their very nature the nexuses were complex mutable and unclear even to contemporaries and they have eluded modern scholarship. Contributions to this volume shed light on processes and key places: the mints of Central Asia; the chronology of the inflows of dirhams to Rus and northern Europe; the reasons why silver was deposited in the ground and why so much ended up on Gotland; the functioning of networks – perhaps comparable to the twenty-first-century drug trade; slave-trading in the British Isles; and the stimulus and additional networks that the Vikings brought into play. This combination of general surveys presentations of fresh evidence and regional case studies sets Gotland and the early medieval slave trade in a firmer framework than has been available before. | Viking-Age Trade Silver Slaves and Gotland

Open Building for Architects Professional Knowledge for an Architecture of Everyday Environment

Open Building for Architects Professional Knowledge for an Architecture of Everyday Environment

Open Building is an internationally recognized approach to the design of buildings and building complexes with roots in the way the ordinary built environment grows and regenerates. The Open Building approach recognizes that both stability and change are realities to be managed in the contemporary built environment. Buildings – and the neighborhoods they occupy – are not static during the most stable times or during times of rapid social and technical change. They are living organisms that need constant adjustments to remain attractive safe and valuable. Using case studies of built projects from around the world this book explains the Open Building approach and discusses important characteristics of everyday built environment that the Open Building approach designs for. It also presents a key method that can be used to put the approach into use. It addresses questions such as: • How can we design large projects for inevitable change? • How can we balance the demands of large projects for efficient implementation with the need for ‘fine-grained’ decision-making control? • How can we separate design tasks one task being the design of what should last a century the other task being the design of more mutable units of occupancy? • How can we identify and share architectural themes and at the same time make variations on them? • How can we use the Open Building approach to steward the earth’s scarce resources and contribute to a circular economy that benefits all people? This book is an essential resource for practitioners investors and developers regulators builders product manufacturers and educators interested in why the Open Building approach matters and how to practice Open Building. | Open Building for Architects Professional Knowledge for an Architecture of Everyday Environment
