    The Location of Culture ‘The work being done in my field, African and African-American Studies, is unimaginably richer because of Homi Bhabha’s stunning contribution to literary, historical, and cultural studies. The breadth and depth of his analysis, and the razor precision of his writing, push us all to be better, more innovative scholars, and I thank him for it.’ Henry Louis Gates, JR ‘The Location of Culture has been extraordinarily fertile for work in a variety of fields: literature, geography, architecture, politics among them. Homi Bhabha is at once radical and subtle in his method of argument and his insights have been fundamental to the flourishing of post-colonial studies.’ Gillian Beer, University of Cambridge ‘The Location of Culture is an exuberantly intelligent voyage of dis- covery and disorientation. Supple, subtle, and unafraid, its power lies in its remarkable openness to all that is challenging and unsettling in the contemporary world.’ Stephen Greenblatt, Harvard University ‘Bhabha is that rare thing, a reader of enormous subtlety and wit, a theorist of uncommon power. His work is a landmark in the exchange between ages, genres and cultures; the colonial, post-colonial, mod- ernist and postmodern.’ Edward Said ‘Homi Bhabha is one of that small group occupying the front ranks of literary and cultural theoretical thought. Any serious discussion of post-colonial/postmodern scholarship is inconceivable without refer- encing Mr Bhabha.’ Toni Morrison '\ L £ ~ () ~~ ct:o S Qrn r- • m • () ~ CI) ( m V ..q S 5 \ Routledge Classics contains the very best of Routledge publishing over the past century or so, books that have, by popular consent, become established as classics in their field.

  • Engineering the Art of Anish Kapoor
    ENGINEERING THE ART OF ANISH KAPOOR ESSAY BY CHRISTOPHER HORNZEE‐ JONES (Published with permission by the Solomon Guggenheim Museum New York) Design and engineering firm Aerotrope’s work on Anish Kapoor’s Deutsche Guggenheim commission is the latest in a series of close collaborations with the artist that began almost ten years ago. Over this period, we have contributed our technical expertise to the realization of his increasingly ambitious artworks in both public spaces and galleries, working with a diversity of materials from steel and wax to water and air, each of which has presented specific possibilities and challenges. I have been drawn to working with artists due to my long‐standing passion for creativity that spans the arts, design, engineering, and science. In our work outside of the art world, our role is often to evolve new designs and technology in the fields of renewable energy and experimental low‐energy vehicles. We see our work with artists as an integrated and enriching part of our practice, not as an interesting sideline to “real” work. The process of critically reexamining our received assumptions of what is possible and then formulating bold new expressions of vision is as vital to making compelling artworks as it is to adapting our society to the challenges of climate change and the limits of global resources. During each project with Kapoor, we may go through periods of relatively independent parallel work, which are linked by sessions of closely interactive review. Our objective, especially during the initial phase of realizing a new work, is to keep the creative options as open as possible rather than to let premature decision making, often driven by technical or production concerns, constrain or deflect Kapoor’s artistic judgments.

    11 Ways to Make Your Office Complex Less Soul-Suckingly Awful October 10, 2016 | by Sam Lubell BRITISH DESIGNER THOMAS Heatherwick recently unveiled plans for Vessel—a beehive-shaped artwork, comprised of 154 interconnected flights of stairs, at the center of the 17-million square foot Hudson Yards development in New York City. The steel-framed piece, which widens as it ris- es, will lift visitors 150-feet into the air, offering a unique vantage of the place. Heatherwick says he designed it to differentiate what promises to be a bold, yet familiar, glassy contemporary office complex. “In recent decades we have had more and more global similarity. An office building in the arctic circle is not likely to be very different from an office in a tropical context. There are some great new buildings here, but they feel similar when you build them similarly and fill them with familiar con- tents,” Heatherwick says. Hudson Yards isn’t the only sleek corporate complex confronting the problem of same-ness. Archi- tects, artists, planners, and landscape architects around the world are creating increasingly weird and original focal points to set these environments apart. These include large-scale public art pieces, parks, and astonishing architectural elements. If corpo- rations are people, shouldn’t their lives be a little more interesting? 01: Amazon Biodomes Amazon’s new campus in downtown Seattle consists of three, 36-story glass towers that don’t look too different from other corporate buildings. But the complex is focused around something much more unique: three steel-framed and glass-clad “biospheres,” filled with plants and trees that are nicknamed “Bezos’ Balls,” for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

(Marks: 0) Saba Naqvi Madhu Trehan Shereen Bhan Patricia Mukhim The “Politics of Jugaad: The Coalition Handbook” has been authored by journalist Saba Naqvi. In it, the author examined the possibility of a coalition government after 2019 Lok Sabha polls. It traces the history of political alliances in the country taking into account their performance on economic and and social policies, among others. The book also makes a study of the Congress' "tryst with dynasty" with Priyanka Gandhi Vadra taking a plunge into active politics for the party helmed by her brother Rahul Gandhi. 2. The Belt and Road Forum (BRF - 2019) was recently held in which of the following Chinese cities? (Marks: 0) Tianjin Shanghai Beijing Hangzhou In China, the 2nd edition of Belt and Road Forum (BRF - 2019) was officially held in Beijing with theme “Belt and Road Cooperation: Shaping a Brighter Shared Future”. In it, 37 heads-of-state and 159 countries had participated along with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and International Monetary Chief (IMF) Christine Lagarde. The BRF is part of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The aim of BRI is to reinvent the ancient Silk Road to connect Asia to Europe and Africa through massive investments in maritime, road and rail projects. The initiative offers to bring much-needed modern infrastructure to developing countries, but critics say it mainly favours Chinese companies while saddling nations with debt and causing environmental damage.
