{"product_id":"9781793614056","title":"The Postcolonial Condition of Architecture in Asia : A Lead from Display-ness","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a bidirectional investigation of Asia's spatiotemporality by asking how Asia is located and how localities are Asianized. Historical and theoretical inquiries into architecture and urbanism in order to trace a notional \"common divisor\" are integrated with readings of this Asian imagery. Such a common divisor is conditioned to Asia's phenomenal postcolonial subjectivation and showcases Asia's unique character. This book contends that the postcolonial condition of architecture in Asia suggests a potential and critical bridge to better understanding of the region. Theoretically, \"display-ness\" is a strategic and allegoric carrier that is in the focus of this book in order to emphasize the quality of display in a broader sense of time and space. Asia's architectural and urban spectacle thus is meaningly magnified and intensified with this notion of display-ness to ground the cohesive abstraction among ideological discourse production, innovative theorizations, and empirical phenomena in contemporary scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49864946057464,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":80.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781793614056-1.jpg?v=1783743926","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781793614056","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
