Author: Mark Crinson, Luisa Lorenza Corna (eds.)
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 more than ever, they require reassess- ment in light of the continuous expansion and revision of Marxism in response to new global crises. Struggles in the Concrete: Architecture and the Marxist Tradition embarks on this en- deavour. The eleven chapters not only recon- sider classical Marxist categories and histori- cal conjunctures, but also devise new criticalframeworks for analysing architecture and capitalism today. The book reconsiders ne- glected 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.
