Utopian Trace
In the late 19th and early 20th century Peter Lamborn Wilson hosted The Moorish Orthodox Radio Crusade on WBAI-FM in NYC, where he would read his essays as "Radio Sermonettes." One of these, "Utopian Trails in Central Park," was thought lost until the publisher of Logosophia found some tapes he had made of Wilson's shows. Utopian Trace contains this essay, with Wilson's on air running commentary (in a green font), extensive updated notes (in maroon font), and dozens of period and contemporary illustrations.Taking as his springboard a lengthy letter Frederick Law Olmsted wrote to a friend in 1852 (quoted in full), detailing his visit to the North American Phalanx in New Jersey, a community founded on the aesthetic and utopian principles of Charles Fourier, Wilson imagines what Walter Benjamin's essay "Central Park" would have been if it had been about NYC's Central Park."Actually, Central Park would have provided a perfect subject for Walter Benjamin, as a setting for his hero, the fl璽neur, or "aimless stroller," as an emblem of the emergence of commodity culture, as an echo or embedding of utopian dreams. Walter Benjamin loved Charles Fourier, both for his utopian socialism and his proto-surrealist panache. Did Benjamin know that Frederick Law Olmsted, the chief architect of Central Park, had been influenced by the wave of Fourierism that swept America in the 1840's and 50's? Had he guessed that Central Park was meant as an embodiment of this enthusiasm?"Peter Lamborn Wilson weaves aesthetics, history and philosophy into a panegyric illuminating the numinous heartbeat of the miracle that is Central Park, and the people who made it possible for us to walk this paradise on terra firma.
Vergangenheitsbew瓣ltigung Germany's Holocaust Journey
This book methodically examines the decade-slongprocess in which Germany has garnered its reputation as a model for confronting and reconciling with its dark history. Much of this has been attributed to the embodiment of Vergangenheitsbewaltigung or, "the process ofcoming to tenns with the past." Between 1933 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaboratorspe1petrated the deadliest genocide in world history, killing more than 6 millionJews and millions of other victims of marginalized groups. After the conclusion of World War II and the ultimate defeat of Nazi Gem1any, the country was physically devastated, and most Gennans refused to even discuss the Holocaust. As successive generations of young Gennans came of age, they began confrontations with their elders that would placeHolocaust awareness at the forefront of academics, national politic, sand everyday life. Furthennore, it led to unprecedented efforts to memorialize the victims of the Holocaust in meaningful ways, especially after the reunification of Germany.
Urban Style
Bestselling author Sara Emslie shines a spotlight on urban industrial style and shows how reclaimed materials can bring warmth and personality to your living space. New pressures on housing mean that pioneering homeowners are converting ex-industrial, non-residential spaces into innovative homes, while others are taking inspiration from the industrial look to bring character to newbuild interiors. In the 1960s and '70s, many urban warehouses and factories became vacant, attracting the first wave of artists and creatives seeking large, affordable studio spaces. Since then, industrial areas in many cities have become sought-after residential districts and urban regeneration has gone from strength to strength. Nowadays the trend shows no sign of waning, with a second generation of urban pioneers cleverly converting former lofts, warehouses, schools, factories, offices and retail spaces into unique and highly desirable homes. In Urban Style, Sara Emslie investigates the practicalities of transforming non-residential spaces into homes, the key elements of the look--from exposed brickwork to copper piping and metal roof trusses--and the related rise in the popularity of industrial design. She then explores twelve inspiring and varied real-life homes that showcase the very best of the Urban Style look.
