The expedited globalised process of exchange and new forms of cultural production have transformed old established notions of identity; calling into question their conceptual foundations. This book explores the spatial and representational dimension of this phenomenon; by addressing how the reshaping of the key themes of place; architecture and memory are altering the nature; as well as; our understanding of identity.Cutting across boundaries; the book drives discussion of identity beyond the well-worn concern for its loss within a globalised context; and importantly provides links between identity; place; memory and representation in architecture. Examining a range of case studies from Australia; Germany; India; Japan; Mexico; Poland; Puerto Rico; Turkey and Singapore; as well as with contributions cutting across geographical and temporal boundaries; this volume addresses such issues as architecture technology; place and memory ndash; critical issues in the monitoring and mapping of identity shift within a rapidly globalising context.With contributions from renowned authors in the field including Nicholas Temple; Patsy Hely; Robert Brown; Liane Lefaivre; John Hendrix; Ana Souto; Fiona MacLaren; Stephen Walker; Nezar AlSayyad; Andrzej Piotrowski; Catherine Ettinger; Luz Marie Rodriacute;guez; and Raymond Quek this book presents fresh insights and diverse perspectives on the evolving question of identity and globalisation.

Review
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good read for beginnersBy Dan SiskenAt 33 pages; this book is not intended to be a comprehensive reference for sports photographers and wont be useful for experienced photographers. But for the parent of an athlete or high school sports journalist; it is a good read and provides some useful insights about being prepared; how to position oneself to get the best shot; and how to stay out of the way of the athletes and officials.
