Sommario/riassunto |
|
"The experience of architectural spaces is formed by the way they are structured, arranged and orchestrated. The Drama of Space examines the composition and articulation of architectural spaces and presents a repertoire of means and strategies for shaping spatial experience. This fundamental approach to architectural design is presented in four parts - principles of spatial dramaturgy are traced from the study of three assembly buildings of the early modern age in Venice - theatre, film, music and theory provide insight into dramaturgical theory and practice - extensive visits to 18 international case studies offer new perspectives on contemporary architecture - the book ends with a systematic presentation of the dramaturgy of space and its means and parameters in architectural design"--Page 4 of cover. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Can ‘traditional’ leaders and institutions help to build more legitimate, accountable and effective governments in polities or ‘states’ under (re)construction? This book investigates the case of “Somaliland”, the 20-year old non-recognized state which emerged from Somalia’s conflict and state collapse. A careful analysis of Somaliland’s political history, it outlines the complex and evolving institutional and power dynamics involving clan elders, militia leaders, guerrilla movements, as well as politicians and civil servants in its emerging state structures. While showing the great potential of endogenous processes, it clearly |

demonstrates the complexity and the politics of those processes and the necessity to think beyond one-size-fits-all state-building formulas. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"In Jesus of Arabia, the Reverend Canon Andrew Thompson introduces an unfamiliar Jesus--Jesus in the context of his home in the Middle East. Whether readers believe Jesus to be a prophet or the messiah, Thompson enhances our understanding of his work and character by looking at his social context as a man and Middle Easterner. Jesus's teachings take on new meaning as Thompson explores themes including family in Arabia, gender roles in the region, food culture, and more. Jesus of Arabia looks at the bridges between Islam and Christianity through the figure of Jesus and how the two communities may reflect each other despite their differences. Thompson draws on his experience as a priest in the Anglican Church and his many years living in the Middle East to analyze the often conflicting roles and loyalties concerning family, culture, and God. A timely and incisive |
