The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South

The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South

The established canon of architectural pedagogy has been predominantly produced within the Northern hemisphere and transposed – or imposed – across schools within the Global South more often with scant regard for social economic political or ecological culture and context nor regional or indigenous pedagogic principles and practices. Throughout the Global South architecture’s academic community has been deeply affected by this regime how it shapes and influences proto-professionals and by implication architectural processes and outcomes too. The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South resituates and recenters an array of pedagogic approaches that are either produced or proliferate from the ‘Global South’ while antagonizing the linguistic epistemological and disciplinary conceits that under imperialist imperatives ensured that these pedagogies remained maligned or marginalized. The book maintains that the exclusionary implications of architectural notions of the ‘orders’ the ‘canon’ and the ‘core’ have served to constrain and to calcify its contents and in doing so imperiled its relevance and impact. In contrast this companion of pedagogic approaches serves to evidence that architecture’s academic and professional advancement is wholly contingent on its ability to fully engage in an additive and inclusive process whereby the necessary disruptions that occur when marginalized knowledge confronts established knowledge result in a catalytical transformation through which new co-created knowledge can emerge. Notions of tradition identity modernity vernacularism post-colonialism poverty migration social and spatial justice climate apartheid globalization ethical standards and international partnerships are key considerations in the context of the Global South. How these issues originate and evolve within architectural schools and curricula and how they act as drivers across all curricula activities are some of the important themes that the contributors interrogate and debate. With more than 30 contributions from 55 authors from diverse regional racial ethnic gender and cultural backgrounds this companion is structured in four sections that capture critique and catalog multifarious marginalized pedagogical approaches to provide educators and students with an essential source book of navigational steers core contestations propositional tactics and reimagined rubrics. The Routledge Companion to Architectural Pedagogies of the Global South pioneers a transposable strategy for academics from all disciplines looking to adopt a tested approach to decolonizing the curriculum. It is only through a process of destabilizing the hegemonic epistemological and disciplinary frameworks that have long-prescribed architecture’s pedagogies that the possibility of more inclusive representative and relevant pedagogical practices can emerge.

The Poems of W.B. Yeats Volume Three: 1899-1910

The Poems of W.B. Yeats Volume Three: 1899-1910

In this multi-volume edition the poetry of W. B. Yeats (1865–1939) is presented in full with newly established texts and detailed wide-ranging commentary. Yeats began to write verse in the nineteenth century and over time his own arrangements of poems repeatedly revised and rearranged both texts and canon. This edition of Yeats’s poetry presents all his verse both published and unpublished including a generous selection of textual variants from the many manuscript and printed sources. The edition also supplies the most extensive commentary on Yeats’s poetry to date explaining specific references and setting poems in their contexts; it also gives an account of the vast range of both literary and historical influences at work on the verse. The poems are presented in order of composition and major revisions or rewritings of poems result in separate inclusions (in chronological sequence) for these writings as they were subsequently reconceived by the poet. In this third volume Yeats’s poetry of the first decade of the twentieth century is brought into sharp focus revealing the extent of his efforts to re-fashion a style that had already made him a well-known poet. All of the major modes in Yeats’s earlier work are subject to radical re-imagining in these years from poetic narrative founded in Irish myth in poems such as ‘Baile and Aillinn’ and ‘The Old Age of Queen Maeve’ to the symbolist drama-poetry of The Shadowy Waters here edited in its two (completely different) versions of 1900 and 1906. In a decade when the theatre was one of Yeats’s principal concerns his lyric poems which were becoming increasingly explicit in personal terms began to discover new intensities of conversational pitch and mythic resonance. Poems such as ‘The Folly of Being Comforted’ ‘Adam’s Curse’ ‘No Second Troy’ and ‘The Fascination of What’s Difficult’ are given close attention in this new edition alongside topical and epigrammatic pieces that are often passed over in accounts of Yeats’s development. The evolving complexities of Yeats’s personal and political lives are crucial to his artistic growth in these years and the commentary gives these generous attention showing how the poetry both feeds upon and often transcends the circumstances of its composition. The volume offers strong evidence for this decade as a crucial one in Yeats’s poetic life in which the poet created wholly new registers for his verse as well as new dimensions for his imaginative vision. | The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Three: 1899-1910

The Routledge Handbook of Civil-Military Relations

The Routledge Handbook of Civil-Military Relations

This second edition of The Routledge Handbook of Civil-Military Relations offers a wide-ranging internationally focused overview of the field of civil-military relations. The armed forces are central actors in most societies and are involved in many different roles. Amongst other activities they engage in peace operations support the police in fighting crime support civilian authorities in dealing with natural disasters and fight against terrorists and in internal conflicts. The existing literature on this subject is limited in its discussion of warfighting and thus does not do justice to the variety of roles. This second edition not only fills this important lacuna but offers an up-to-date comparative analysis and provides a conceptual framework to analyze how strategies can realistically be implemented. Amalgamating ideas from key thinkers in the field the book is organized into three main thematic parts: Part I: Civil-Military Relations in Non-Democratic States and Illiberal Democracies; Part II: Civil-Military Relations in New Democracies; Part III: Civil-Military Relations in Established Democracies. This handbook will be essential reading for students and practitioners in the fields of civil-military relations defense studies war and conflict studies international security and IR in general.
