<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Based on analysis of historical, philosophical, and semiotic texts, <i>Architecture in Black</i> presents a systematic examination of the theoretical relationship between architecture and blackness. Now updated, this original study draws on a wider range of case studies, highlighting the racial techniques that can legitimize modern historicity, philosophy and architectural theory.<br/><br/>Arguing that architecture, as an aesthetic practice, and blackness, as a linguistic practice, operate within the same semiotic paradigm, Darell Fields employs a technique whereby works are related through the repetition and revision of their semiotic structures. Fields reconstructs the genealogy of a black racial subject, represented by the simultaneous reading of a range of canonical texts from Hegel to Saussure to Henry Louis Gates, Jr.<br/><br/>Combining an historical survey of racial discourse with new readings resulting from advanced semiotic techniques doubling as spatial arrangements, <i>Architecture in Black</i> is an important contribution to studies of the racial in Western thought and its impact on architecture, space and time.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Darell Wayne Fields</b> is a Lecturer in the College of Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.
