Textul de pe ultima copertă
In undertaking a systematic analysis of urban materiality, this book investigates one kind of material in Melbourne: stone. The work draws on a range of pertinent, current theories that consider materiality, assemblages, networks, phenomenology, resource and extraction geographies, memorialisation, maintenance and repair, place identity, skill, sensation and affect, haunting and the vitalism of the non-human. In appealing to the general reader, academics and students, this book provides a highly readable account, replete with evocative examples and fascinating historical and contemporary stories about stone in Melbourne.
Caracteristici
Provides a highly readable account, replete with evocative examples and fascinating historical and contemporary stories about stone in Melbourne. Thoroughly engages with and advances a range of pertinent, current theoretical thinking across the social sciences and humanities, including notions about materiality, value, mobility, relationality and networks, place identity, sensation and affect, and the vitality of the non-human. Politically engages with notions of sustainability, with the ways in which creative destruction and global flows can have malign effects on the built environment, and with critical questions about what is and is not valued.
