Description and Table of Contents
Description
Investigates postmodern architecture's manifestations in the unlikely settings of Chile during the neoliberal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet and Poland during the late socialist Polish People's Republic.
Argues for a new account that incorporates the political roles postmodernism plays when seen in a global perspective.
Focuses particularly on what "dissent" can mean in architecture - an enterprise that is always an expression of authority structures as its manifestation depends upon state approval or support.
