Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A wide-ranging illustrated history of transparency as told through the evolution of the glass window Transparency is a mantra of our day. It is key to the Western understanding of a liberal society. We expect transparency from, for instance, political institutions, corporations, and the media. But how did it become such a powerfuland globalidea? From ancient glass to Apples corporate headquarters, this book is the first to probe how Western people have experienced, conceptualized, and evaluated transparency. Daniel Juette argues that the experience of transparency has been inextricably linked to one element of Western architecture: the glass window. Windows are meant to be unnoticed. Yet a historical perspective reveals the role that glass has played in shaping how we see and interpret the world. A seemingly pure material, glass has been endowed, throughout history, with political, social, and cultural meaning, in manifold and sometimes conflicting ways. At the same time, Juette raises questions about the future of vitreous transparencyits costs in terms of visual privacy but also its ecological price tag in an age of accelerating climate change. A wide-ranging illustrated history of transparency as told through the evolution of the glass window Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Exploring a chapter not yet probed in the cultural history of the West, 'The Strait Gate' demonstrates how doors, gates, and related technologies such as the key and the lock have shaped the way we perceive and navigate the domestic and urban spaces that surround us in our everyday lives. Jutte reveals how doors have served as sites of power, exclusion, and inclusion and, by extension, as metaphors for salvation in the course of Western history. This book makes it clear that doors, more than any other parts of the house, are the objects onto which we project our ideas of and anxieties about security, privacy, and shelter. Without doors, of course, houses could not exist. But even though we each walk through doorways well over a hundred times a day, we typically pay little attention to the doors we encounter. We regard them simply as a means of entering or leaving a building or room. Yet when our doors stop working as they should when we find that we cannot lock or open them, for instance we react with discomfort and anxiety. Drawing on a wide range of archival, literary, and visual sources, as well as on research literature across various disciplines and languages, Jutte pays particular attention to the history of the practices that have developed over the centuries in order to handle and control doors in everyday life.' A prize-winning scholar offers a sweeping exploration of the role doors have played in history.

Hardback. Condition: New. A wide-ranging illustrated history of transparency as told through the evolution of the glass window "With impressive detail and wide-ranging erudition, Jütte charts the history of a single material, glass, as a product of human ingenuity developed across centuries."-James Gleick, New York Review of Books Transparency is a mantra of our day.
