Performing Identity in the Era of COVID-19

Performing Identity in the Era of COVID-19

This innovative volume compels readers to re-think the notions of performance performing and (non)performativity in the context of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Given these multi-faceted ways of thinking about “performance” and its complicated manifestations throughout the pandemic this volume is organised into umbrella topics that focus on three of the most important aspects of identity for cultural and intercultural studies in this historical moment: language; race/gender/sexuality; and the digital world. In critically re-thinking the meaning of “performance” in the era of COVID-19 contributors first explore how language is differently staged in the context of the global pandemic compelling us to normalise an entirely new verbal lexicon. Second they survey the pandemic’s disturbing impact on socio-political identities rooted in race class gender and sexuality. Third contributors examine how the digital milieu compels us to reorient the inside/outside binary with respect to multilingual subjects those living with disability those delivering staged performances and even corresponding audiences. Together these diverse voices constitute a powerful chorus that rigorously excavates the hidden impacts of the global pandemic on how we have changed the ways in which we perform identity throughout a viral crisis. This volume is thus a timely asset for all readers interested in identity studies performance studies digital and technology studies language studies global studies and COVID-19 studies. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Intercultural Studies. | Performing Identity in the Era of COVID-19

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

Routledge Handbook of Seabed Mining and the Law of the Sea

For years exploration of seabed natural resources has been ongoing while exploitation in deep marine areas remained unrealistic due to land-based mineral availability and costs. However mounting pressures from the green transition climate change and long-lasting fears of terrestrial minerals scarcity now bring exploitation prospects closer to reality. This has caused concern to a growing chorus of States scientists industries NGOs and parts of civil society due to the potential environmental and social impacts of these activities. As a result the idea of a moratorium or ‘precautionary pause’ is gaining ground. Yet an important number of interpretation and implementation issues of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Agreement remain to be answered as a means to move forward in accordance with international law. This multidisciplinary book designed to become the essential handbook on the matter provides a global overview of the national regional and international regulatory frameworks applicable to the exploration and exploitation of seabed minerals on the continental shelf and the Area as well as the related state of the science on the matter. By presenting historical and geopolitical context crucial to understanding regulation evolution the book equips readers with foundational legal and policy knowledge. It furthermore addresses contemporary and prospective issues and offers unique insights into regional and national practices including non-Party States to UNCLOS.

Suspending Modernity: The Architecture of Franco Albini

Suspending Modernity: The Architecture of Franco Albini

Franco Albini’s works of architecture and design produced between 1930 and 1977 have enjoyed a recent revival but to date have received only sporadic scholarly attention from historians and critics of the Modern Movement. A chorus of Italian voices has sung his praises none more eloquently than his protégé Renzo Piano. Kay Bea Jones’ illuminating study of selected works by Studio Albini will reintroduce his contributions to one of the most productive periods in Italian design. Albini emerged from the ideology of Rationalism to produce some of Italy’s most coherent and poetic examples of modern design. He collaborated for over 25 years with Franca Helg and at a time when professional male-female partnerships were virtually unknown. His museums and installation motifs changed the way Italians displayed historic artifacts. He composed novel suspension structures for dwellings shops galleries and his signature INA pavilions where levity and gravity became symbolic devices for connoting his subjects. Albini clarified the vital role of tradition in modern architecture as he experimented with domestic space. His cohort defied CIAM ideologies to re-socialize postwar housing and speculate on ways of reviving Italian cities. He explored new fabrication technologies from the scale of furniture to wide-span steel structures yet he never abandoned the rigors of craft and detail in favor of mass-production. Suspending Modernity follows the evolution of Albini’s most important buildings and projects even as they reveal his apprehensive attitudes about the modern condition. Jones argues here that Albini’s masterful use of materials and architectural expression mark an epic paradigm shift in the modern period. | Suspending Modernity: The Architecture of Franco Albini
