Abstract

For over two centuries, in the North as well as the South, both within their own community and in the public arena, African Americans have presented their bodies in culturally distinctive ways. Shane White and Graham White consider the deeper significance of the ways in which African Americans have dressed, walked, danced, arranged their hair, and communicated in silent gestures. They ask what elaborate hair styles, bright colors, bandanas, long watch chains, and zoot suits, for example, have really meant, and discuss style itself as an expression of deep-seated cultural imperatives. Their wide-ranging exploration of black style from its African origins to the 1940s reveals a culture that differed from that of the dominant racial group in ways that were often subtle and elusive. A wealth of black-and-white illustrations show the range of African American experience in America, emanating from all parts of the country, from cities and farms, from slave plantations, and Chicago beauty contests. White and White argue that the politics of black style is, in fact, the politics of metaphor, always ambiguous because it is always indirect. To tease out these ambiguities, they examine extensive sources, including advertisements for runaway slaves, interviews recorded with surviving ex-slaves in the 1930s, autobiographies, travelers' accounts, photographs, paintings, prints, newspapers, and images drawn from popular culture, such as the stereotypes of Jim Crow and Zip Coon.

Abstract

Although traditionally a building material of the warmer climate zones, bamboo is becoming increasingly popular amongst architects in the northern hemisphere; bamboo has several advantages - it is very stable, of low weight, and highly elastic, in addition to being readily available as well as renewable. The applications of bamboo in architecture have become significantly wider and diversified, so that today, even structures with large spans - such as bridges - are built with this material. The new and revised second edition of this manual provides a practical, systematic overview of the numerous potential applications and processing methods of this renewable material. The comprehensive presentation of groundbreaking bamboo buildings has been updated with more recent projects. Ein traditionelles Baumaterial der warmen Klimazonen Asiens und Lateinamerikas, erfreut sich Bambus eines wachsenden Interesses unter Architekten der nördlichen Hemisphäre: Bambus hat nicht nur ein geringes Gewicht bei großer Stabilität und ist ausgesprochen elastisch, sondern zeichnet sich auch durch Eigenschaften aus, die in Zeiten schwindender Ressourcen besonders gefragt sind: das Material ist reichlich verfügbar und zudem erneuerbar. Die Anwendungsbereiche von Bambus in der Architektur haben sich erheblich erweitert und diversifiziert, so dass heute sogar weitgespannte Konstruktionen wie Brücken daraus gebaut werden. Von diesen technischen und ästhetischen Möglichkeiten beeindruckt, nutzen auch Architekten in Europa, Nordamerika und Japan Bambus für vielfältige Bauaufgaben. In den letzten Jahren sind unter anderem private Wohnhäuser und Ausstellungspavillons aus Bambus entstanden, Überdachungen und sogar Schul- und Museumsgebäude. Die neue und überarbeitete 2. Auflage dieses Handbuchs bietet einen praxisorientierten systematischen Überblick über die zahlreichen Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Verarbeitungstechniken dieses nachwachsenden Materials. Die umfangreiche Präsentation von Bambusbauten wurde durch neuere Projekte aktualisiert.
