Since 1945, North Americans have spent hundreds of billions of dollars on urban development, literally transforming the landscape of the continent. This development has been disastrous, Edmund Fowler maintains, because it is inordinately expensive, destructive of the environment, and disruptive of healthy social life and authentic politics. Revealing the connections between our basic cultural beliefs and why we build the way we do, he stresses that to build cities that work we must become aware of how our personal choices contribute to the form of the built environment.

The Canadian Modernists Meet is a collection of new critical essays on major and rediscovered Canadian writers of the early to mid-twentieth century. F.R. Scott's well-known poem 'The Canadian Authors Meet' sets the theme for the volume: a revisiting of English Canada's formative movements in modernist poetry, fiction, and drama. As did Scott's poem, Dean Irvine's collection raises questions - about modernism and antimodernism, nationalism and antinationalism, gender and class, originality and influence - that remain central to contemporary research on early to mid-twentieth-century English Canadian literature. The Canadian Modernists Meetis the first collection of its kind: a gathering of texts by literary critics, textual editors, biographers, literary historians, and art historians whose collective research contributes to the study of modernism in Canada. The collection stages a major reassessment of the origins and development of modernist literature in Canada, its relationship to international modernist literature, its regional variations, its gender and class inflections, and its connections to visual art, architecture, and film. It presents a range of scholarly perspectives, drawing upon the multidisciplinarity that characterizes the international field of modernist studies.

The agency of photographs is a recurrent concern within the context of the city. Whether found in architectural records, social documentary, photojournalism, or artistic practice, photographic objects are embedded in urban contestation, aesthetically charged by artists, reinserted into social histories, and mobilized to imagine a future city. Photogenic Montreal takes a question initially posed by heritage debates – what does photography preserve? – and creates a rich conversation about the agency of the human actors before and behind the camera, and of the medium itself. The interplay of archives and activisms structures the book. Photographs that appear to be sealed off in newspapers, storage rooms, or archives accrue new meaning when they cross the threshold back into social spaces and circulate anew. It is through the reactivation of archival photographs that submerged traces of urban experience are discovered, and alternate histories of Montreal can be recounted. Multiple forms of activism and artistic expression complement this archival work. Beginning in the 1960s, community-minded and heritage groups responded to the tensions arising from urban reconstruction, gentrification, and the erasure of neighbourhoods; this activism also left its photographic traces. Attentive to the still-changing face of the city’s architecture, neighbourhoods, and street life, Photogenic Montreal participates in debates about who the city belongs to, who speaks on its behalf, and how to picture its past and present.

Showing how the SSBFF has balanced its commitments to Jewish charitable causes and to Canadian culture, Spirited Commitment explores how the Foundation dealt with the challenge of respecting the wishes of its famous founders while still making a difference in contemporary Canadian society. A detailed account of the Foundation's numerous programs over three decades - including the Centre for Cultural Management and the Saidye Bronfman Centre - Spirited Commitment highlights the innovations that SSBFF grants have led to in the arts, community development, and scientific research. An illuminating and vibrant portrait of the personalities, motivations, and strategies behind the Samuel and Saidye Bronfman Family Foundation, Spirited Commitment is a revealing, insightful account of the inner workings of philanthropic foundations.

人群聚居的城市，不再為了人群而存在 於是空間與人皆無所適從 「美國建築界最直言不諱的良心」邁克爾．索金，犀利剖析當代都市亂象的跨時代經典 生活在都市裡，你是否曾覺得想歇歇腳步卻無處可坐？是否曾舊地重遊卻因光鮮亮麗的街景喚不起回憶而寂寞？是否曾想和他人說話卻又隱隱心生恐懼？ 城市原本是人自然聚居之處，為什麼演變至今卻讓身處其中的人感受到無比壓力、徬徨孤獨？這樣的情緒，許多人都曾感受到，卻難以言說、無所適從。箇中原因，其實早在一九九○年代，就有美國著名建築評論家、都市計畫專家邁克爾．索金直指核心。他銳眼看破欣欣向榮的都市霓虹背後，城市變得名存實亡，率先提醒「虛空都市」對於人們的影響無孔不入，掏空情感、記憶、交流卻讓人不自覺。本書出版後，制衡了美國對於都市的盲目樂觀，也成為建築都市領域理解當代空間結構的必讀經典。 城市作為人群匯集之處，曾是活力十足、自由開放的所在，給人機會多、人流多、生活活力十足的印象，因而顯得自由開放。但曾幾何時，現今都市的新面貌，已和過去大不相同。現代的城市已變得如同主題樂園，安全與愉悅的假象，掩蓋了背後的壓制、剝削與不平等。在資本主義、土地私有、防衛心態以及科技的催化下，城市已逐漸變得封閉、排他、貧富差距劇烈，都市空間將人們分群，依照階級、種族、資產把人放在「合宜」的位置，以物質欲望的滿足與渴望，取代原本聚落內公共空間所能提供的交流與擾動。建築與地景逐漸和當地斷開脈絡，以「複製貼上」的各種場所仿造出意義流失的空間，人們便難以對環境懷抱感情與回憶。可以往來相遇的公共空間也減少，造成人與人越來越遙遠陌生，孤獨感如影隨形。 這個現象無所不在，人們眼前所見的設施（天橋、地下道、購物中心）和地域（曼哈頓的「歷史老街」、矽谷的科技園區、迪士尼樂園），都可以見到當今建築隔離了人、拔除了歷史文化脈絡的情況。人們生活在這個地方感消失的環境，便容易感受不到歸屬。如此一來，縱使生活環境所見繽紛亮麗，所聽熱鬧悅耳，裡頭物資一應俱全，但最終當信任與接觸都消失，我們就變得難以和他人相處，也難以和自己相處，在失根的城市，成了失根的人。 索金召集了美國、加拿大都市學界中極具代表性的幾位學者，在明確清晰的概念框架下剖析美國和加拿大的案例，分析闡明公共空間的消弭影響了居民人際互動的能力，而各種都市可見的設施和光鮮亮麗的場域又是如何消滅了公共空間。如今本書示警的現象早已不局限於美加，已隨著商業模式與資訊科技，傳播到全世界的無數角落。末世警鐘已響，雖然在當代都市如同主題樂園一般光鮮亮麗的街景下，假像城市那股隱微作動的力量並不容易辨識出來，但唯有辨識，才是抵抗的第一步。 本書特色 本書是由美國著名的建築評論家與都市設計學者Michael Sorkin主編，並由多位當代具代表性的北美洲學者所共同撰寫，堪稱近代在全球學界最具影響力的著作之一。每一位作者個選擇一個主題作為切入點，做出精闢的剖析。包括Michael Sorkin本人以及Margaret Crawford, Neil Smith, Edward Soja, Mike Davis, Christine Boyer等作者都是美國近代最有影響力的建築或都市規劃學者，學養豐厚，門生眾多。
