Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades

Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades

Visually enriched with over 250 photographs and drawings Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades is an essential reference guide for understanding the types and functions of double-skin façades. Author Mary Ben Bonham examines the history and continuing potential of double-skin architecture informing on the variety of approaches possible and advising a rigorous integrated design process leading to application. Featuring a wide selection of architectural examples the book will be of interest to professionals and students within the fields of architecture engineering and construction. Characterized by a buffer-like air space between two glazed building skins double-skin windows and façades aim to improve building comfort and energy performance. Double skins introduce complexity and initial costs yet significant buildings in locations around the globe continue to select this approach. In addition to exploring motivations benefits and cautions for designing with double skins the book provides a primer on fundamental façade design concepts and strategies for control of thermal luminous and acoustic environments. Chapters also address alternative types of high-performance façades and implications for each phase of façade design and construction. Bioclimatic Double-Skin Façades promotes bioclimatic design that is inspired by nature measured in performance and uniquely adapted to climate and place. In-depth case studies illustrate how double-skin façades have been adapted to a range of climates and cultural settings: Marseille Library and Grenoble Courthouse in France Cambridge Public Library in Massachusetts Manitoba Hydro Place in Canada and the Pearl River Tower in China.

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

In this classic work the author presents and develops his theory of the importance of 'the Skin-ego'. Just as the skin is wrapped around the body so the author sees the 'Skin-ego' as a psychical wrapping containing defining and consolidating the subject. From this perspective the structure and functions of the skin can provide psychoanalysts and general readers with a fertile and practical metaphor. The author's concept of the Skin-ego is the answer to questions he regards as crucial to contemporary psychoanalysis: questions of topography which were left incomplete by Freud; the analysis of fantasies of the container as of the contained; issues of touch between mothers and babies; extending the concept of prohibitions within an Oedipal framework to those derived from a prohibition on touching; and questions pertaining to the representation of the body and to its psychoanalytic setting. This new translation of Le Moi-peau is based on the second and last (1995) edition. | The Skin-Ego A New Translation by Naomi Segal

Thornton Wilder's The Skin of our Teeth

Thornton Wilder's The Skin of our Teeth

Ladies and gentlemen I‘m not going to play this particular scene tonight. Sabina Thornton Wilder‘s The Skin of Our Teeth (1942) telescopes an audacious stretch of western history and mythology into a family drama showing how the course of human events operates like theatre itself: constantly mutable vanishing and beginning again. Kyle Gillette explores Wilder‘s extraordinary play in three parts. Part I unpacks the play‘s singular yet deeply interconnected place in theatre history comparing its metatheatrics to those of Stein Pirandello and Brecht and finding its anticipation of American fantasias in the works of Vogel and Kushner. Part II turns to the play‘s many historic and mythic sources and examines its concentration of western progress and power into the model of a white American upper-middle-class nuclear family. Part III takes a longer view tangling with the play‘s philosophical stakes. Gillette magnifies the play‘s ideas and connections teasing out historical theoretical and philosophical questions on behalf of readers scholars and audience members alike. | Thornton Wilder's The Skin of our Teeth

Straight Skin Gay Masks and Pretending to be Gay on Screen

Straight Skin Gay Masks and Pretending to be Gay on Screen

Straight Skin Gay Masks and Pretending to Be Gay on Screen examines cinematic depictions of pretending-to-be-gay assessing performances that not only reflect heteronormative and explicitly homophobic attitudes but also offer depictions of gay selfhood with more nuanced multidirectional identifications. The case of straight protagonists pretending to be gay on screen is the ideal context in which to study unanticipated progressivity and dissidence in regard to cultural construction of human sexualities in the face of theatricalized epistemological collapse. Teasing apart the dynamics of depictions of both sexual stability and fluidity in cinematic images of men pretending to be gay offers new insights into such salient issues as sexual vulnerability and dynamics and long-term queer visibility in a politically complicated mass culture which is mostly produced in a heteronormative and even hostile cultural environment. Additionally this book initially examines queer uses of sexuality masquerade in Alternate Gay World Cinema that allegorically features a world pretending to be gay in which straights are harassed and persecuted in order to expose the tragic consequences of sexual intolerance. Films and TV series examined as part of the analysis include The Gay Deceivers Victor/Victoria Happy Texas William Friedkin’s Cruising and many other straight and gay screens. This is a fascinating and important study relevant to students and researchers in Film Studies Media Studies Gender Studies Queer Studies Sexuality Studies Communication Studies and Cultural Studies. | Straight Skin Gay Masks and Pretending to be Gay on Screen

Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

The rising visibility of interracial couples calls for increased attention to the overlapping of culture and race in safe spaces centered on small-group dynamics or in public spaces where peoples of African descent are under the public gaze. This comparative study seeks to de-center the U. S-centered viewpoint common to much of the literature on black/white relations. Based on nine years of fieldwork in the American South and in France Coquet shows many unexpected parallels between the two societies. Gendered perceptions of cultural authenticity and sexual ethics are a guiding thread being inseparable from the historical and political contingencies (re-)defining acceptable forms of dating marrying and parenting among cis-heterosexual couples in both societies. Her account emphasizes resilience and agency as couples seek to protect themselves and their children while their extended or symbolic kinship networks help white partners acknowledge the existence of racial privilege. | Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

Black Skins Black Masks Hybridity Dialogism Performativity

Black Skins Black Masks Hybridity Dialogism Performativity

Black Skin Black Masks: Hybridity Dialogism Performativity offers a timely exploration of Black identity and its negotiation. The book draws on empirical work recording everyday conversations between Black women: friends peers and family members. These conversations are discussed in the light of the work of Homi Bhabha Stuart Hall Gerd Baumann Claire Alexander and others on questions of hybridity identity otherness and the development of ’new ethnicities’. Tate aims to address what she sees as significant omissions in contemporary Black Cultural Studies. She argues that theorists have rarely looked at the process of identity construction in terms of lived-experience; and that they have tended to concentrate on the demise of the essential Black subject paying little attention to gender. The book points to a continuation of a ’politics of the skin’ in Black identities. As such it argues against Bhabha's claim that essence is not central to hybrid identities. The conversations recorded in the book reveal the ways in which women negotiate the category of Blackness in what Tate calls a 'hybridity-of- the-everyday'. The book introduces a new interpretative vocabulary to look at the ways in which hybridity is orchestrated and fashioned showing it to be performative dialogical and dependent on essentialism. | Black Skins Black Masks Hybridity Dialogism Performativity

Touch Sexuality and Hands in British Literature 1740–1901

Touch Sexuality and Hands in British Literature 1740–1901

From Robert Lovelace’s uninvited hand-grasps in Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa to to Basil Hallward’s first encounter with Dorian Gray literary depictions of touching hands in British literature from the 1740s to the 1890s communicate emotional dimensions of sexual experience that reflect shifting cultural norms associated with gender roles sexuality​ and sexual expression. But what is the relationship between hands tactility and sexuality in Victorian literature? And how do we best interpret ​what those touches communicate between characters? This volume addresses these questions by asserting a connection between the prevalence of violent sexually charged touches in eighteenth-century novels such as those by Eliza Haywood Samuel Richardson and Frances Burney and growing public concern over handshake etiquette in the nineteenth century evident in works by ​Jane Austen the Brontës George Eliot Elizabeth Gaskell Thomas Hardy Oscar Wilde and Flora Annie Steel. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines literary analysis with close analyses of paintings musical compositions and nonfictional texts​ such as etiquette books and scientific treatises​ to make a case for the significance of tactility to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century perceptions of selfhood and sexuality. In doing so it draws attention to the communicative nature of skin-to-skin contact ​as represented in literature and traces a trajectory of meaning from the forceful grips that violate female characters in eighteenth-century novels to the consensual embraces common in Victorian ​and neo-Victorian literature. | Touch Sexuality and Hands in British Literature 1740–1901

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Volume two explores the way a wide range of classic princess tales written by marginalized writers. Rapunzel and Snow White with their pale skin or long ropes of golden hair are particularly popular vehicles for exploring and challenging racialized constructions of beauty. Marriage is the traditional vehicle of a happy ending in Princess tales so marginalized responses to these tales also inherently respond to the doubly colonized position of women in the Anglophone world. The institution of marriage typically exposes the institutional oppression of colonized women. Authors include Charles Chesnutt Jessie Fauset Julia Kavanaugh George Edwards some of the unpublished manuscripts of Jewish-Australian author Joseph Jacobs and the earliest work of Sinèad de Valera as well as fin-de-siècle illustrators such as Harry Clarke and collected oral tales. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Experiments in Film and Philosophy

Experiments in Film and Philosophy

Christopher Falzon argues in this book for a new way of understanding film as philosophy. Inspired and informed by the work of Michel Foucault Falzon shows how a motion picture can operate not simply as a thought experiment but as a form of experience-centred experimental reflection. It is film’s ability to show viewers things that challenge their way of thinking giving them experiences that can make them think differently that gives the film its status as philosophy. Through these cinematic experiences not only cultural norms and presuppositions but also cinematic conventions and even established philosophical positions can be interrogated and questioned. Experiments in Film and Philosophy explores three films in the light of this new way of thinking about philosophy and film: Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless Rubin Ötlund’s Force Majeure and Jonathon Glazer’s Under the Skin. It will be of interest to advanced students and scholars interested in the current debates about the relationship between film and philosophy.

The Politics and Performance of Mestizaje in Latin America Mestizo Acts

The Politics and Performance of Mestizaje in Latin America Mestizo Acts

The term mestizaje is generally translated as race mixture with races typically understood as groups differentiated by skin color or other physical characteristics. Yet such understandings seem contradicted by contemporary understandings of race as a cultural construct or idea rather than as a biological entity. How might one then approach mestizaje in a way that is not definitionally predicated on ‘race ’ or at least on a modernist formulation of race as phenotypically expressed biological difference? The contributors to this volume provide explorations of this question in varied Latin American contexts (Mexico Guatemala Bolivia Colombia Peru) from the16th century to the present. They treat ‘mestizo acts’ neither as expressions of pre-existing social identities nor as ideologies enforced from above but as cultural performances enacted in the in-between spaces of social and political life. Moreover they show how ‘mestizo acts’ not only express or reinforce social hierarchies but institute or change them – seeking to prove – or to dismantle – genealogies of race blood sex and language in public and political ways.
