[audiobook] Critical Race Theory and Copyright in American Dance: Whiteness as Status Property by Caroline Joan S. Picart at Arts-Photography

Description

Since the mid 1970s; there has been an extraordinary renewal of interest in early modern architecture; both as a way of gaining insight into contemporary architectural culture and as a reaction to neoconservative postmodernism. This book undertakes a critical reappraisal of the notion of modernity in Mexican architecture and its influence on a generation of Mexican architects whose works spanned the 1920s through the 1960s. Nine essays by noted architects and architectural historians cover a range of topics from broad-based critical commentaries to discussions of individual architects and buildings. Among the latter are the architects Enrique del Moral; Juan OGorman; Carlos Obregón Santacilia; Juan Segura; Mario Pani; and the campus and stadium of the Ciudad Universitaria in Mexico City. Relatively little has been published in English regarding this era in Mexican architecture. Thus; Modernity and the Architecture of Mexico will play a groundbreaking role in making the underlying assumptions; ideological and political constructs; and specific architects agendas known to a wide audience in the humanities. Likewise; it should inspire greater appreciation for this undervalued body of works as an important contribution to the modern movement.
