Outlaw Territories - Environments of Insecurity/Architecture of Counterinsurgency ZONE BOOKS

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In Outlaw Territories, Felicity Scott traces the relation of architecture and urbanism to human unsettlement and territorial insecurity during the 1960s and 1970s. Investigating a set of responses to the growing urban unrest in the developed and developing worlds, Scott revisits an era when the discipline of architecture staked out a role in global environmental governance and the biopolitical management of populations. She describes architecture's response to the displacement of persons brought on by migration, urbanization, environmental catastrophe, and warfare, and she traces architecture's relationship to the material, environmental, psychological, and geopolitical transformations brought on by postindustrial technologies and neoliberal capitalism after World War II. At the height of the U.S.-led war in Vietnam and Cambodia, with ongoing decolonization struggles in many parts of the world, architecture not only emerged as a target of political agitation because of its inherent normativity but also became heavily enmeshed with military, legal, and humanitarian apparatuses, participating in scientific and technological research dedicated to questions of international management and security. Once architecture became aligned with a global matrix of forces concerned with the environment, economic development, migration, genocide, and war, its role shifted at times toward providing strategic expertise for institutions born of neoliberal capitalism. Scott investigates this nexus and questions how and to what ends architecture and the environment came to be intimately connected to the expanded exercise of power within the shifting geopolitical frameworks at this time.

Azja > Tajwan

Several months ago, we released our new double-sided map of the lovely island of Formosa, better known now as Taiwan, or the Republic of China. At the time, we still had plenty of inventory of the ITM City Map of Taipei, so we decided to continue it. It now appears that the market prefers the combined map of the island and its capital city, so we have decided to discontinue Taipei as a separate title. As we are not replacing the city map, existing inventory should continue to be sold until depleted. The single-sided city map is still quite good and is not eligible for a credit return. We are still receiving a steady stream of orders for it, but have run out of copies in our warehouse and will supply the combined map in future. Speaking generally, we have noticed that international city maps do not seem to be as popular as was the case a few years ago. Throughout the Great Economic Recession, we have re-invented useful urban travel maps by combining the city artwork with a country or regional map (Buenos Aires and Northern Argentina, Quito and Central Peru, and Santiago & Central Chile are examples). This is value-added mapping, and has proved to be quite popular. We intend to restructure more urban maps into double-sided maps, starting with Helsinki, which is currently being re-formatted into Helsinki and Southern Finland. As most regular followers of ITMB
