Avenues of Translation

Resumen del Libro

Winner of the 2020 SAMLA Studies Book Award — Edited Collection Cities both near and far communicate in a variety of ways. Travel between, through, and among urban centers initiates contact, and cities themselves are sites of ever-changing cultural and historical encounters. Predictable and surprising challenges and opportunities arise when city borders are crossed, voices meet, and artistic traditions find their counterparts. Using the Latin word for “translation,” translatio, or “to carry across,” as a point of departure, Avenues of Translation explores how translation perpetuates, diversifies, deepens, and expands the literary production of cities in their greater cultural context, and how translation shapes an understanding of and access to a city's past and present literary and cultural practices. Thinking about translation and the city is a way to tell the backstories of the cities, texts, and authors that are united by acts of translation. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Complejidad y Urbanismo:

El presente libro trata sobre un tema actual y vigente: el entorno urbano -las ciudades-. En él, un grupo interdisciplinario conformado por físicos, biólogos, arquitectos, economistas, diseñadores y urbanistas, discuten sus ideas y visiones guiados y unificados bajo el paradigma y enfoque de la complejidad. Se trata de entender y explicar fenómenos emergentes y colectivos en el contexto urbano, haciendo uso conceptual de lo que en física llaman el "principio de superposición": el todo es más que la suma de las partes. Así, las ciudades son más que la suma de sus espacios...

Formalismo puro

David Bestué recupera en este libro un formato totalmente desacreditado en la actualidad, el de las “Historias Nacionales de Arquitectura”. Su texto imita el tono didáctico de esta literatura, con sus etapas bien definidas y su desarrollo lineal. Sin embargo, usa este lenguaje de forma irónica al subvertir los lugares comunes de la historiografía, creando un recorrido poco ortodoxo, recuperando ideas olvidadas y revisando algunos tópicos que se repiten incansablemente en los manuales. Es un trabajo que busca entender cómo se ha dibujado el paisaje que nos rodea. Una lectura fresca y ...
