Like its counterpart of the American wilderness, this vertical frontier serves as a privileged site for both subversion and excessive control. Beyond common metaphoric readings, this study models the skyscraper not only as a Foucauldian heterotopia, but also as a complex network of human and nonhuman actors while retracing its development from its initial assemblage during the 19th century to its steady evolution into a smart structure from the mid-20th century onward. It takes a close look at US-American literary and filmic fictions and the ways in which they sought to make sense of this extraordinary structure throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries. More traditional poststructuralist spatial theories are connected with concepts and methods of Actor-Network Theory in a compelling account of the skyscraper?s evolution as reflected in fictional media from early 20th-century short stories via a range of action, disaster and horror films to selected city novels of the 1990s and 2000s. 606 $aAmerican fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 607 $aUnited States$2fast 607 $aUSA$2gnd 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 610 $a20th 610 $aAmerican 610 $aCentury 610 $aFilm 610 $aFrontiers 610 $aHeterotopia 610 $aKlein 610 $aNovel 610 $aSkyscraper 610 $aSkyscraping 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a813.5409 700 $aKlein$b Sascha$01033073 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910508506503321 996 $aSkyscraping frontiers$92451353 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03617nam 22006495 450 001 9910298427903321 005 20251113194014.0 010 $a981-10-8854-3 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-10-8854-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000004975116 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5439411 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-10-8854-4 035 $a(PPN)229492266 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000004975116 100 $a20180628d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAdvances in Cognitive Neurodynamics (VI) $eProceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Cognitive Neurodynamics ? 2017 /$fedited by José M.

The Meeting included plenary lectures, specialized symposia, and posters presentations. The main topics of the meeting addressed the general substrates underlying neural functions and the neural dynamics in sensory, motor, and cognitive systems. Other important neuroscience fields covered in the meeting were learning and memory processes and the functionally-related changes in synaptic strength, neural oscillations, synchronizations and coherence activities between different neural circuits, and the imaging of cognitive networks. Finally, specific articles covered several fields related to neural computation and neuroengineering, the modelling higher-order functions and dysfunctions and the experimental design of brain-to-computer and brain-to-brain interactions. All articles were peer-reviewed. The ICCN is a series conference that takes place every two years since 2007. 410 0$aAdvances in Cognitive Neurodynamics,$x2213-3577 606 $aNeurosciences 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aCognitive psychology 606 $aNonlinear Optics 606 $aNeuroscience 606 $aBiotechnology 606 $aCognitive Psychology 606 $aNonlinear Optics 615 0$aNeurosciences. 615 0$aBiotechnology. 615 0$aCognitive psychology. 615 0$aNonlinear Optics. 615 14$aNeuroscience. 615 24$aBiotechnology. 615 24$aCognitive Psychology. 615 24$aNonlinear Optics. 676 $a612.8233 702 $aDelgado-García$b José M$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPan$b Xiaochuan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSánchez-Campusano$b Raudel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWang$b Rubin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298427903321 996 $aAdvances in Cognitive Neurodynamics (VI)$92522683 997 $aUNINA
