Travels and Revelations: 23 Essays by Zhang Chengzhi is about cultures which the author knows intimately. With sophisticated sensibility, he describes the tangible cultures of Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiang in recent decades – the landscapes and cityscapes, the roads and waterways, the rural and urban dwellings, the working and living habits, and the outstanding symbols and totems. Like a traveller pausing before stunning scenery – the Mongolian grasslands, the yellow-earth plateaus, the Yellow River’s mighty gorges – he reflects on the intangible cultures that have made the Han, the Hui, the Mongolian and the Uyghur peoples who they are, and contemplates on their language usages, socio-political dilemmas, philosophical traditions, beliefs and biases and their religious aspirations. These essays show how deeply Zhang Chengzhi understands modern China’s painful evolution through war and revolution and how deeply he is attached to his Hui–Muslim roots. They also

Wabi-sabi, that ancient philosophy which embraces imperfection, lies at the very heart of Japanese traditions—both artistic and societal. Today, it is being diluted by modernity. Worse still, this timeless aesthetic—nourished by the slow passage of time and enriched by the patina of age—is being cheapened by the mass-market home décor industry.Reducing wabi-sabi to what it once was, or to a fleeting “lifestyle” trend, is to confine it within a box. From their encounter with architect Kengo Kuma, the authors have retained—and illustrate here—his vision of “modern wabi-sabi. Through their travels in India, Europe, and Morocco, they have witnessed the transcontinental ripple effect of wabi-sabi and, through this aesthetic, the subtle yet powerful influence of Japan.While journeying through the Japanese archipelago, they met with a new generation who is preserving, revealing, and carrying forward this philosophy: the new ambassadors of wabi-sabi. From a shared moment with a monk in a teaho

This volume offers a comprehensive guide to the role that iconicity - resemblance between form and meaning - plays in all modes of languages, on all levels of language, and in all aspects of language.

The 1960s in Europe saw the emergence of social protest, newly confident center-left parties, Cold War d彋ente, and frustrations with the pace and direction of European integration. The Federal Republic of Germany experienced these upheavals from a special position: on the front line of the Cold War, occupying a key position in both the European and Atlantic communities, and haunted by Nazi-era crimes. The parties that had governed West Germany since its founding in 1949-the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Christian Social Union (CSU)-underwent an especially intense identity crisis. European integration and the social market economy were essential to Christian Democratic political identity, but both faced challenges from right and left. The CDU/CSU was torn between market liberalism and social solidarity, and between nationalist conservatism and European enthusiasm. Konrad Adenauer, the first West German Chancellor, led the CDU and CSU to two decades of political dominance. As Aden

Kuma's gentle but commanding commentary, accompanied by hundreds of photos and diagrams, focuses on how architectural details reveal his identity across a journey of discovery. This evolution is told in six chapters--Fabric, Mineral, Green, Thatching, Bamboo, and Wood--and covers 38 projects from around the world. Each project has been carefully curated to tell specific developments in this coming-of-age story.As he explains the details of each project readers will see more of Kengo Kuma's creative essence throughout his process. Concepts such as creating softness with hard materials, the relationship between openness and anti-volume, and how to use geometry to mitigate the natural contours of a building site offer clarity on his perspective as an architect.What unfolds is an architectural vision of craft developed through the exploration of historical processes and expectations, craftsmanship, and artistic skill.

Organizing Relation investigates how attachment theory can shift major conversations in literary criticism about connection, personhood, and aesthetic experience. Drawing on the author's experience along with extensive scholarly research into attachment theory, somatic and relational healing, and childhood development, the book delineates the emergence of subjectivity from micro-episodes of attuned connection and the arising of attachment trauma in the absence of adequate experiences of attunement. The emergent understanding of intermittent passages in which embodied presence self-organizes in response to relational episodes prompts a reorganization of how literary studies approaches subjectivity, language, and the body. Organizing Relation pursues that reorganization through a portfolio of readings in nineteenth-century American literature, in which relational turbulence provokes different experiences of power and dependency, opening up passages of dissociated chaos and of brilliant,
