Roland Barthes compared the ap- proach to the synchronous view of Paris constituted by the Eiffel Tower5. Our view of and our detachment from the earth are coeval. As the chaotic ground we leave behind becomes an increasingly fluid foundation ever more difficult to grasp, we have tended to cultivate a galactic desire; fantasizing other worlds, we suppose we might escape our material bonds by imagining our planet anew.
It undermines the abstraction of oppositions —the raw and the cooked, the natural and the fabricated, the built and the unbuilt— by descending into the substance of things. Post-structuralism, ripping the ground from beneath us, might have given us a sinking feeling.
The ground, the air, space, … are nothing but liquids, flowing, descending, rising, reacting. When we realize that, however imperceptibly, everything moves, time becomes central. We have long believed the earth revolves around us.
The idea of human-induced cli- mate change reasserts our pivotal position. But we should make the crucial distinction between this agency, which is everywhere appar- ent, and control, which is nowhere to be seen. In this realization, our lofty ambitions return to earth. To capture this humbler sensibility, we cite William Wordsworth. The oppositional —life and death, day and night, the animate and the inanimate, the aboveground and the underground, the autochthonous and the transplanted, movement and stasis, and, of course, nature and artifice— is, in fact, a tumult.
From the imbroglio sci- ence excavates history and plumbs processes, which the arts and design seek to motivate, organize, even accelerate. In the broil in which we find ourselves, there is unending substantial transformation: We inhale molecules once respired by Wordsworth.
Our particulars are but particles, once —and soon again— carried by the winds; winds increasingly affected by our own flights of fancy. Lucy rolls about in Wordsworth. She features as one of the most important discoveries in paleontology: a skeleton with anatomy strikingly similar to our own. In the material dimension of our human nature, we become trees become buildings become compost8.
The whole is a roiling spolia9. How to navigate this soup? No less so as setting structuralism adrift became a strategy of contemporary architectural production Baked into these engagements, long constituted in the architectural met- aphors of western philosophy, was a fibbing on foundations and meta- physics, wherein the earth lies —our monument and our tombstone— as the ineluctable crux of the matter But, in the course of upturning estab- lished foundations, what was once timelessly suspended, fixed in geologic strata, has been released and mixed to form a new cultural atmosphere.
Gasification and liquefaction define our era. As the earth vaporizes and melts, its contours dissipate. Nature and artifice, the built and the unbuilt, have tumbled into vertigo. The categorical disturbance of the raw and the cooked has left us ungrounded and our vision grasping. We must now fathom orientation in the even light of an omnidirectional field To consider the architectural questions involved in this liquefying physical and intellectual context there is perhaps no more telling example than the practice of Belgian architect Xaveer de Geyter, in both his work with the Office for Metropolitan Architecture OMA and Xaveer de Geyter Architects XDGA.
In the book After-Sprawl , XDGA, working with Lieven de Boeck, begin with the observation that sprawl —the dissolution of a clear threshold between country and city— is a global concept igno- rant of variation in settlement patterns and specific local conditions. They imply that sprawl is a peculiarly North American conception; dueling categories of built and unbuilt make no sense in a European context with layers upon layers of history —sedimented, eroded, pressurized, trans- formed— where landscapes have been denatured again and again The lecture, in its elegantly conceived and controlled course, ranges from the scale of the city to the scale of the building detail.
But, more importantly, it moves in its conceptual discriminations from stark urban outlines toward a subtle field of material, as though an over- exposed photographic negative transmutes into a landscape of raster- ized values before your very eyes. The priority of the built and the unbuilt is reversed: In Fig.
The symmetry between the built and the unbuilt is Fig. The ground as defining datum of the built and the unbuilt is undermined and upturned: In the joint OMA, XDGA, and One Architec- ture proposal for Les Halles Paris, the opposition between the raw and the cooked, the natural and the fabricated, is entirely de- stabilized fig. The natural and the fabricated are synthesized: In the rhizomatic folding of Les Halles, the history of the city is taken as the raw material of the future.
The lecture follows a scalar and conceptual rather than chronological development. In a diversity of comic forms - from rollicking farce to tragicomedy - these plays offer varying perspectives on the forces that make and mar human communities.
Dramatizing tensions between savagery and civilization, autonomy and dependence, and isolation and community, Shakespeare's comedies both reflect and comment on the society that produces them.
Slights eschews viewing these comedies as endorsements of the prevailing ideologies of sixteenth-century England or as subversions of that hierarchical, patriarchal culture. They can be most fruitfully understood as imaginative forms that present cultural practices, institutions and beliefs as human constructions susceptible to critical scrutiny. While exposing the injustice and brutality as well as the assurances and satisfactions of social experiences, Shakespeare's comedies represent people as inescapably social beings.
By combining historical scholarship with formal analysis and incorporating insights from social anthropology and feminist theory, Shakespeare's Comic Commonwealths offers new readings of Shakespeare's early comedies and analyses the interaction between the plays and the social structures and processes of early modern England.
In this stunningly original book, Richard Wrangham argues that it was cooking that caused the extraordinary transformation of our ancestors from apelike beings to Homo erectus. At the heart of Catching Fire lies an explosive new idea: the habit of eating cooked rather than raw food permitted the digestive tract to shrink and the human brain to grow, helped structure human society, and created the male-female division of labour.
As our ancestors adapted to using fire, humans emerged as "the cooking apes". Covering everything from food-labelling and overweight pets to raw-food faddists, Catching Fire offers a startlingly original argument about how we came to be the social, intelligent, and sexual species we are today. Big, new ideas do not come along often in evolution these days, but this is one. Why do we overeat time and time again? Why do we make poor diet choices while we want to be healthy?
What makes losing weight so difficult? These and many other vital questions are addressed in 12 Steps to Raw Foods in an open and sincere dialogue.
Based on the latest scientific research, Victoria Boutenko explains the numerous benefits of choosing a diet of fresh rather than cooked foods. This book contains self-tests and questionnaires that help the reader to determine if they have hidden eating patterns that undermine their health.
Using examples from life, the author explores the most common reasons for people to make unhealthy eating choices. Rather than simply praising the benefits of raw foods, this book offers helpful tips and coping techniques to form and maintain new, healthy patterns. Learn how to make a raw food restaurant card that makes dining with co-workers easy and enjoyable. Find out how to sustain your chosen diet while traveling. These are only a few of the many scenarios that Boutenko outlines.
Written in a convenient step format, this book guides the reader through the most significant physical, psychological, and spiritual phases of the transition from cooked to raw foods. Embracing the raw food lifestyle is more than simply turning off the stove. Such a radical change in the way we eat affects all aspects of life. Already a classic, this enhanced second edition is aimed at anyone interested in improving their health through diet.
Yet Michael Pollan's Cooked is one of them. Meeting cooks from all over the world, who share their wisdom and stories, Pollan shows how cooking is at the heart of our culture and that when it gets down to it, it also fundamentally shapes our lives.
