Landscape architects must learn to accommodate these wastelands along with the more traditional challenges of site and construction. This will require a radical reconceptualization of thinking about landscape before potential solutions can be effectively addressed or devised. Ten cites are examined both visually and analytically through the use of aerial photography and geospatially derived maps, charts, and graphs. "

Abb., Chronologie, Leinen - Text in dt. & dän. Sprache. "Ursula Reuter versteht das eigene Leben als Material für ihr künstlerisches Schaffen. In diesem Sinne arbeitet sie expressiv mit sich selbst. In Texten und Bildern beschreibt sie, wie sich persönliche Geschichte und die Ikonen, mit denen sie sich auseinandergesetzt hat, zu großen, universalen Erzählungen über Leidenschaft, Betrug, Begehren, Liebe und Widerstand verschmelzen. Der Bericht über ihre 50jährige künstlerische Arbeit nimmt seinen spannenden Ausgangspunkt in den frühen Jahren in Deutschland nach dem 2. Weltkrieg, zutiefst fasziniert von Mythen, Märchen und Sagen der Romantik. Die Studienjahre i den 60 er Jahren bei Joseph Beuys und das Motto der Zeit "Leben ist Kunst und Kunst ist Leben" war von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Künstlerin. Es folgt die Reise gen Norden und ihre Ehe mit dem dänischen Komponisten und Fluxuskünstler Henning Christiansen. Die Werke, die ab den 70er Jahren im Umfeld des ländlichen und familiären Lebens auf der Insel Moen entstanden sind, erzählen von den Frauen- und Arbeiterkämpfen jener Jahre, von Augenblicken existentieller Erfahrungen mit Ehe, Karriere, Depression, Trotz und Einsamkeit - alles beherrscht von der Besessenheit als kreativer Mensch zu leben."

Oxford University Press, 2013 (2007). 271 pp. Paperback. Fine clean copy. A "Critical introduction to Finnegans Wake and its genesis. Finn Fordham provides a survey of critical, scholarly, and theoretical approaches to Joyce's iconic masterpiece. He also analyses in detail the compositional development of certain key passages which describe the artist (Shem) and his project; the river-mother (ALP) and her "first kiss;" the Oedipal shooting of the universal father (HCE) by the priestly son (Shaun); and the bewitching and curious daughter (Issy). His analyses demonstrate 'genetic' ways of reading the text which illustrate its immense range and playfulness and how these qualities were generated in composition. As well as opening up the densely detailed textuality of the Wake in all its multiplicity, Fordham argues for a relation between the way the text was formed and key aspects of its thematic content: an uprising of particularity and detail against universality, absolutes, and generality. He shows that the proliferation of individuated textual details overwhelms any unitary concept to the text. And this reflects an idealized and utopian uprising as it overcomes centralizing singularity: Finnegans do wake up. "

University of Tokyo Press, 1978 (1977 / 1975). 8vo in softcover. XLI, 806 pp. Red endpapers. Spines sunned else very good clean set with only minor shelfwear. Second paperback printing 1978 of the first complete translation into English. - The Tale of the Heike is one of the masterworks of Japanese literature, a great martial epic and a masterpiece of world literature and the progenitor of all samurai stories: "The story of the Heike was compiled from a collection of oral stories recited by travelling monks who chanted to the accompaniment of the biwa, an instrument reminiscent of the lute. The most widely read version of the Heike monogatari was compiled by a blind monk named Kakuichi, in 1371. The Heike is considered one of the great classics of Medieval Japanese literature. Two main strands feed into the central ethos of the tale, samurai and buddhist. At one level, the Tale is an account of martial heroism – of courage, cruelty, power, glory, sacrifice and sorrow. Those who emphasise this aspect of the story point to its glorification of the heroic spirit, its avoidance of the realistic brutality and squalor of war, and its aestheticisation of death: a classic instance of the latter is the comparison of the drowned samurai in the final battle to a maple-leaf brocade upon the waves. Others, while still accepting the importance of the military episodes and of heroic figures like Yoshitsune, would emphasise instead the Tale’s immersion in Buddhist thought, and its themes of duty, Dharma, and fate".
