  • Ruins of Modernity

    by Julia Adams, George Steinmetz ...
    Series series Politics, History, and Culture
    Images of ruins may represent the raw realities created by bombs, natural disasters, or factory closings, but the way we see and understand ruins is not raw or unmediated.

This unique interdisciplinary collection traces discourses about and representations of ruins from a richly contextualized ... Read more
