Avenues of Translation

Resumen del Libro

Winner of the 2020 SAMLA Studies Book Award — Edited Collection Cities both near and far communicate in a variety of ways. Travel between, through, and among urban centers initiates contact, and cities themselves are sites of ever-changing cultural and historical encounters. Predictable and surprising challenges and opportunities arise when city borders are crossed, voices meet, and artistic traditions find their counterparts. Using the Latin word for “translation,” translatio, or “to carry across,” as a point of departure, Avenues of Translation explores how translation perpetuates, diversifies, deepens, and expands the literary production of cities in their greater cultural context, and how translation shapes an understanding of and access to a city's past and present literary and cultural practices. Thinking about translation and the city is a way to tell the backstories of the cities, texts, and authors that are united by acts of translation. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Temas de composición arquitectónica. 6.Tipo, arquetipo, prototipos, modelo

La teoría de la arquitectura en la actualidad, lejos de constituir un conjunto uniforme y coherente, se constituye por un conglomerado de aspectos dispersos que forman un mosaico entrelazado. El espacio, la memoria, el uso, la técnica, la luz, la percepción..., son algunos de los campos de interés que constituyen el rizoma caótico sobre el que se asienta el pensamiento arquitectónico. La Composición arquitectónica, entendida como el conjunto de disciplinas que configuran el substraigo teórico sobre el que se asienta la práctica de la arquitectura, se va organizando a partir de estas ...

Rascacielos

En la victoriosa América de la posguerra, origen de la nueva configuración del mundo occidental, surgió una singular obra que iba a representar la abstracción de los valores universales de la arquitectura moderna. La construcción de la Lever House en el Nueva York de 1950 no sólo iba a propiciar un punto de inflexión en la Historia del rascacielos y de la arquitectura corporativa americana, definiría a su vez un nuevo paradigma a partir del cual se establecerían generalizados modelos para la construcción del futuro. La oportuna confluencia entre los acentos pragmáticos del mundo...
