"Whatever 'ugliness' is, it remains a problematic category in architectural aesthetics - alternately vilified and appropriated, either to shock or to invert conventions of architecture. This book presents eighteen new essays which rethink ugliness in architecture - from brutalism to eclectic postmodern architectural productions - and together offer a diverse reappraisal of the history and theory of postmodern architecture and design. The essays address both broad theoretical questions on ugliness and postmodern aesthetics, as well as more specific analyses of significant architectural examples dating from the last decades of the twentieth century, addressing the relation between the aesthetic register of ugliness and aesthetic concepts such as brutalism, kitsch, the formless, ad hoc-ism, the monstrous, or the grotesque. The aim of this volume is not simply to document the history of a postmodern anti-aesthetic through case studies. Instead, it aims to shed light on an aesthetic problem that has been largely overlooked in the agenda of architectural theory, the question if and how ugliness can be of interest to architecture; or if and how architecture can make good use of ugliness"--

"The Union of International Associations (UIA), founded in in 1910, sought to coordinate the relations and interests of international organizations across the world. As both an information hub on international organizations and an international body in its own right, the UIA's long history makes it a prism through which to study the field of international organizations and its dynamics. International Organizations and Global Civil Society is the first scholarly study to cover both the Union of International Associations' early years and its more recent past. It brings together experts from a variety of fields, including history, political science and international relations, architecture, digital humanities and library and information studies to explore key issues including the major ideas that were fundamental for the UIA's activities, the UIA's importance for the development of the field of scientific internationalism, the relations between the UIA and other international organizations and the changing position of the UIA when facing geopolitical challenges such as totalitarianism, the World Wars, decolonization, the Cold War and the making of a new world order. The volume sheds light on the history of social, cultural and political internationalism, and the way in which knowledge about international organizations was constructed, collected and conveyed. It addresses a number of current scholarly concerns: the concept of 'global civil society'; the development of international relations as a field of study; the investigation of transnational factors in modern and contemporary history; and the tracing of forerunners to the 'information society'."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
