{"product_id":"violence-taking-place-andrew-herscher-9780804769358","title":"Violence Taking Place: The Architecture of the Kosovo Conflict","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhile the construction of architecture has a place in architectural discourse, its destruction, generally seen as incompatible with the very idea of \"culture,\" has been neglected in theoretical and historical discussion. Responding to this neglect, Herscher examines the case of the former Yugoslavia and in particular, Kosovo, where targeting architecture has been a prominent dimension of political violence. Rather than interpreting violence against architecture as a mere representation of \"deeper\" social, political, or ideological dynamics, Herscher reveals it to be a form of cultural production, irreducible to its contexts and formative of the identities and agencies that seemingly bear on it as causes. Focusing on the particular sites where violence is inflicted and where its subjects and objects are articulated, the book traces the intersection of violence and architecture from socialist modernization, through ethnic and nationalist conflict, to postwar reconstruction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Herscher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804769354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804769358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Andrew Herscher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065149436159,"sku":"9780804769358","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87a09ce4-b0a6-411b-8947-6625396b767d.jpg?v=1768673320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-taking-place-andrew-herscher-9780804769358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
