What are Marxist architectural history and criticism? What methods do they employ, and what are their objects of critical analysis? These questions have been asked before, but now they require reassessment in light of the continuous expansion and revision of Marxism in response to new global crises. The eleven chapters in this title reconsider classical Marxist categories and historical conjunctures and devise new critical frameworks for analysing architecture and capitalism today.The book reconsiders neglected figures like Marta Lonzi, Sérgio Ferro, and Anthony D. King, as well as re-engaging with major figures like Siegfried Kracauer, Manfredo Tafuri, and Stuart Hall.
