Open Source Architecture is a manifesto for the architecture of tomorrow. It offers a wholly new vision of how architecture can and must adapt to the realities of the 21st century.
This dissertation is about a ubiquitous yet ambiguous term in contemporary literary discourse: niche. Over the past century, niche has migrated from its origins in architectural terminology to become ...a generative conceptual metaphor in disciplines as disparate as ecology, economics, and sociology. Curiously, however, niche has not gained like traction in literary studies even as it is present in scholarship across literary fields and frequently used in popular literary criticism. While this pervasiveness of and yet lack of critical attention to the term as it is used in literary discussions means that its definition is often taken for granted, it also means that the term possesses a certain utility for our understanding of literary phenomena despite there remaining about it a slipperiness. This dissertation consequently investigates the uses and utility of niche within literary studies. By drawing on previous theorizations of the concept in other disciplines, it argues for a conceptualization of niche in literary studies that goes beyond the term’s typical usage as a signifier of a smallness to mean, rather, a term that captures a particular relationship between an author and the sociohistorical conditions attendant to their moment of writing — one that is exploitative. In recasting literary objects such as the oeuvre of Joseph Conrad, the cultural politics of Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s Buru Quartet, and the impact of Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Sympathizer along with the legacy of its publisher, Grove Press, as niche formations, this dissertation shows that the concept of the niche enables literary scholars to reconsider current rubrics for understanding transnational literary interactions and the way change occurs in the contemporary literary landscape.
This dissertation examines contemporary fiction by writers with backgrounds in Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa to show how immigrants to the US, across a range of geographical ...contexts, actively shape the parameters and conditions of their own belonging. The characters in these novels express an ambivalence toward the standard story of assimilation or failure, ultimately offering a more complex understanding of what it means to be an American immigrant in the twenty-first century. In particular, my research shows that in many of the fictional texts written by immigrants about the immigrant experience, characters are often defining their own relationship to the United States by questioning their names, developing new names, and ruminating on the naming traditions of their countries of origin and of their adopted cultures. A coterie of over twenty-five writers, such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Karolina Waclawiak, Valeria Luiselli, NoViolet Bulawayo, Julia Alvarez, and Anya Ulinich among others, use names to parse, document, and test cultural practices of ethnic and racial identification, thereby unsettling crude generalizations that too often inform political debates about immigration. Thinking about names becomes a way for literary immigrants to forge their identities on their own terms, from trying to fit in, struggling to stand out, and everything in between. Across these texts, we see immigrant characters attempt to pass as other ethnicities, refuse seemingly evident solidarities, and engage in unlikely friendships and animosities across origin and migration sites. In these cases, an attention to names helps reconceptualize the American Dream from a unilateral, nationalist project to multiple avenues for immigrant futurity. My project contends that immigrants bring their own multifaceted cultural conceptions to bear on how they imagine their place within American identity. Rather than being fixed, these cultural conceptions are constantly changing. By focusing on experiments with naming in contemporary immigrant fiction, I show how immigrant literature offers us a new understanding of what American literature is and a new vocabulary for immigrant belonging in the twenty-first century.
This thesis studies how Paraguayan literature about the War of the Triple Alliance (1864-1870), written in the 1920s, addresses both historical trauma and revisionism by reacting to the prevailing ...liberal historiography of the war. The thesis analyzes war narratives by three different authors: Cuentos y Parábolas by J. Natalicio González (1922), Tradiciones del Hogar by Teresa Lamas Carísimo Rodríguez de Alcalá (1921, 1928), and Don Inca by Ercilia López de Blomberg (1920). I argue that González, an intellectual and conservative politician, employs horror and gothic to portray the “past as present” and also rectifies the image of (Mariscal) Francisco Solano López. In contrast, Lamas Carísimo’s narratives from family testimonies in oral history portray how silence transmits intergenerational trauma and herald the war roles of women. Finally, López de Blomberg’s novel is analyzed from the overwhelming presence of melancholia and how sadness impacts an upper-class family that confronts death and political instability. A niece of Mariscal López who lived in exile after her father was condemned as a traitor, she is especially concerned with treason and truth in the atrocities of Mariscal López’s military court called “el Tribunal de Sangre.” With the assistance of trauma theory (Freud 1917, Kristeva 1989, Caruth 1996, Danieli 1998, Mucci 2013 et al.) and an analysis of the three authors’ diverse manifestations of historical trauma, I conclude that their works express the wounds of a devastating war of defeat, offering potential healing in narration and new insights into the lingering grief and memories of a war that never really ends.
Cet article suggère qu'une compréhension exacte des luttes des étudiants dans le
pays, même dans le monde, pendant les années 60 et 70 du XXème siècle, ne peut
pas laisser de côté les courants ...politiques de gauche qui ont pénétré les jeunes
universitaires de cette époque. Cet article prétend mettre en évidence l'articulation
entre la mobilisation des étudiants en 1971 et le cadre idéologique que les différents
groupes des jeunes colombiens ont exercé dans leurs luttes.
Este artigo sugere que uma compreensão completa das lutas estudantis no país, e
mesmo no mundo durante os anos sessenta e setenta do século XX, não pode deixar
de lado as correntes políticas de esquerda que permearam a juventude universitária
nesse período. Ele tem como objetivo mostrar a relação entre a mobilização
estudantil que ocorreu em 1971 e os andaimes ideológicos que os diferentes grupos
de jovens colombianos empunharam em suas lutas.
Este artículo sugiere que una comprensión cabal de las luchas estudiantiles en
el país, e incluso en el mundo, durante los años sesenta y setenta del siglo XX
no puede dejar de lado las corrientes políticas de izquierda que permearon a la
juventud universitaria en aquel periodo. Se pretende evidenciar la articulación
entre la movilización estudiantil acaecida en 1971 y el andamiaje ideológico que las
diferentes agrupaciones juveniles colombianas esgrimieron en sus luchas.
This article is meant to suggest the idea that an understanding of student protests in
the country during the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century cannot ignore
leftist political currents that permeated the university students in that period. Without
reaching the desirable degree of completeness, it is intended to demonstrate the link
between the student mobilization occurred in 1971 and the ideological scaffolding
that different youth groups wielded in defense of their struggles.
As the Kashmir dispute brings India and Pakistan ominously close to nuclear war this book provides a compelling account of the history and politics of these two great South Asian rivals. Like the ...Israel-Palestine struggle, the Indian-Pakistan rivalry is a legacy of history. The two countries went to war within months of becoming independent and, over the following half-century, they have fought three other wars and clashed at the United Nations and every other global forum. It is a complex conflict, over religion and territory with two diametrically opposed views of nationhood and national imagination. J.N. Dixit, former Foreign Secretary of India, and one of the world's leading authorities on the region, has written a balanced and very readable account of the most tempestuous and potentially dangerous flashpoint in international politics.

Rivers Between Us is a short story collection that mediates the consequences of the Korean War lingering in the everyday lives of Koreans. The six stories paint raw human portraits of Koreans haunted ...by ghosts of the Korean War: a North Korean missionary who left his country and failed to return for the widespread famine floating the world as a ghost; a radio announcer from the North who pretends to be a South Korean receiving mysterious letters; a North Korean singer who is asked to sabotage her previous life at the cost of her stardom in the South; a South Korean military man who goes on a DMZ patrol only to run into ghosts whose lives were sacrificed during the war; a professional translator educated in America encountering a ghost of his dead father who had sent his child abroad out of fear of the war; an elderly woman diagnosed with dementia opening up her traumatic past as a war orphan to her granddaughter as the illness progresses. Weaving the forgotten and unforgotten Korean history into magical realism, Rivers Between Us reveals emotional truth behind the gleams and dreads of contemporary Korea.
