Book Reviews:
Book review: Austerity and Democracy in Athens: Crisis and Community in Exarchia (Monia Cappuccini) reviewed by Georgia Alexandri “This book directly depicts the multiple and multi-dimensional symbolisms the place of Exarchia has for emancipatory politics, grievances and small-scale victories that actually crack neoliberalism.” |

Book review: The Dead City: Urban Ruins and the Spectacle of Decay (Paul Dobraszczyk) reviewed by Pablo Arboleda “Since the sites studied in this book have long been characterised by ruination, the most interesting feature in Dobraszczyk’s thought is his emphasis on incorporating architectural decay – as a representative, cultural value – into any envisaged project.” |
