Críticas
"Keller Easterling's Enduring Innocence charts a tour of the guilty pleasures of post-global network protocols....Keller Easterling makes global capital palpaple." - Mason White, Archinect's Best of 2005 "Keller Easterling combines an ironic view of architecture with a series of brilliant offshore observations that signal the new global affair between construction and destruction. Her book is a dazzling antidote to the reigning pieties about globalization, and should be read by any serious student of global places, flows and forms." - Arjun Appadurai, John Dewey Distinguished Professor in the Social Sciences, The New School, author of Modernity at Large: Cultural Dimensions of Globalization"
Reseña del editor
This book shows how outlaw "spatial products" - resorts, information technology campuses, retail chains, golf courses, and ports - act as cunning pawns in global politics.In "Enduring Innocence", Keller Easterling tells the stories of outlaw "spatial products" - resorts, information technology campuses, retail chains, golf courses, ports, and other hybrid spaces that exist outside normal constituencies and jurisdictions, in difficult political situations around the world. These spaces - familiar commercial formulas of retail, business, and trade - aspire to be worlds unto themselves, self-reflexive and innocent of politics. But as Easterling shows, these enclaves can become political pawns and objects of contention. Jurisdictionally ambiguous, they are imbued with myths, desires, and symbolic capital. Their hilarious and dangerous masquerades often mix quite easily with the cunning of political platforms. Easterling argues that the study of such "real estate cocktails" provides vivid evidence of the market's weakness, resilience, or violence.These regimes of nonnational sovereignty, she writes, "move around the world like weather fronts"; Easterling focuses not on their blending - their global connectivity - but on their segregation and the cultural collisions that ensue. "Enduring Innocence" resists the dream of one globally legible world found in many architectural discourses on globalization. Instead, Easterling's consideration of these segregated worlds provides new tools for practitioners sensitive to the political composition of urban landscapes.
