Functions of autoreception: Karl Ove Knausgård as author-critic and rewriter
No full textKarl Ove Knausgård made his entry into the literary field as a critic in the 1990s, and he has
since 1998 made his mark as a novelist and essayist. The six-volume autobiographical work
Min kamp (2009-2011) is in essence about what it means for him to be an author. This thesis
investigates Knausgård’s strategies as a critic, essayist, and as the author of Min kamp to
position himself and his poetics within the literary field and a literary tradition. Specifically,
it examines the functions of autoreception, i.e. self-criticism, implicit in Knausgård’s role as
an author-critic, an author who writes literary criticism, and as a rewriter, an author who
rewrites his own texts and the context and poetic intentions of his previous texts. Thus, this
thesis aims to answer the question what are the functions of criticism and of rewriting for Karl Ove
Knausgård as an author?
Part I outlines a new framework of autoreception devised for examining the functions of
criticism and rewriting. The proposed common denominator is that both function to
establish, position, and validate an author-image. Ultimately, a new understanding of the
narration in Min kamp as autoreceptive is offered. Part II examines a largely unexplored area
of Knausgård’s work, namely the strategies of Knausgård as a critic prior to publishing his
first novel, and how Knausgård rewrites himself during this period in Min kamp. Part III
focuses on Knausgård’s rewriting of the period between writing his second novel and up
until he begins writing Min kamp. It investigates the strategic functions of the narrative
structure, the functions of the essayistic and critical passages, and the functions of the
distance and unity between past and present author-images that Knausgård creates in his
rewriting.
This thesis thus aims to contribute to the scholarship regarding Karl Ove Knausgård by
conducting an author-study that examines the relationship between criticism and poetics. In
addition, it aims to contribute to a broader field of research by offering a theoretical and
methodological framework of autoreception, which works across the boundaries of critical,
essayistic, and literary texts

Masterplanning and Regeneration: Villa 31, Buenos Aires.
No full textUrban tissue and morphological principles can be applied in a more systematic way to the task of masterplanning and urban regeneration. A fascinating example is a design research project undertaken by Marco Maretto et al for the regeneration of Villa 3, an informal settlement in Buenos Aires. The aim of the project was to use urban morphological analysis and principles to first understand the structure, character and logic of the settlement and then suggest a regeneration proposal that retains the positive characteristics of the settlement. The approach is founded on the recognition that the informal settlement contain many successful design solutions that were generated by and meet the needs of the residents themselves, 'uncontaminated' by formal top-down controls
Social and Cultural Investigation: Ahmedabad
No full textConceived as a practical manual of morphological analysis, The Handbook of Urban Morphology focuses on the form, structure and evolution of human settlements – from villages to metropolitan regions. It is the first book in any language focused on specific, up-to-date ‘how-to’ guidance , with clear summaries of the central concepts, step-by-step instructions for carrying out the analysis, case studies illustrating specific applications and discussion of theoretical underpinnings tied to evidence from the field
Multiple depth analysis and the urban design consequences of semi-public realms
No full textIn the context of the need to accommodate increasing urban populations and densities, many emerging building types incorporate increasingly large and complex shared circulation spaces. These ‘semi-public realms’ can be found in both perimeter block and 'megastructure' types and present potential benefits but also potential problematic consequences for the combined private, semi-public and public realms. Key issues include: ambiguity of form, boundaries, use, control, and imagability. Some of the factors at the root of these issues include lack of connectivity, excessive connectivity, excessive spatial depth, lack of hierarchy and spatial differentiation in relation to depth. As the latter points suggest, a key concept that can help in understanding these issues - and contribute towards designs that avoid them - is depth. Within the field of built form studies and urban morphology, the idea of depth encompasses a number of different specific conceptions. Three of the most relevant are: configurational depth (Hillier and Hanson 1984), territorial depth (Habraken 1998) and structural depth (Conzen 1969, Caniggia and Maffei 2001, Arthur 2011, Kropf 2017). The aim of this paper is to show that these three forms of depth are not mutually exclusive but have specific complementary relationships that can be used together to undertake a coherent, 'multiple depth' analysis of built form. Using examples of contemporary buildings types with extensive semi-public realms, the paper goes on to show how such an analysis can aid in both urban design practice and urban design education
A New Book on Mao: A Quick Q & A with Author Rebecca Karl
No full textRebecca Karl, who teaches at New York University and is known in Chinese studies circles as the author of important studies of nationalism during the final years of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) and the development of Marxist thought between the 1920s and the present, has a new book coming out soon. Titled Mao Zedong and China in the Twentieth-Century World: A Concise History, it’s being published (simultaneously in paperback and hardback editions) by Duke University Press. The publisher promises that it will provide readers with a “lively and concise historical account of Mao Zedong’s life and thought,” and it comes with advance praise from Stanford literary specialist Ban Wang and historian Delia Davin, whose many publications also include a short book about the Chinese Communist Party leader. Struck by the challenges Professor Karl has taken on, both of moving from writing for specialists to writing for general readers (that’s clearly the main target audience to her new book) and trying to cover such a big topic in a small number of pages (the book has just over 200 of them), I asked her to share her thoughts on these challenges and other subjects with followers of this blog
Karl Polanyi’s the great transformation: Perverse effects, protectionism and gemeinschaft
No full textDrawing upon Karl Polanyi’s journalistic writings and unpublished lectures from the 1920s and 1930s, this article reconstructs the lineaments of his research programme that was to assume its finished form in The Great Transformation. It identifies and corrects a common misinterpretation of the thesis of that book, and argues that Polanyi’s basic theoretical framework is best conceived as Tönniesian: the ‘protective counter-movement’ of The Great Transformation is Gemeinschaft, understood dynamically, while the market society is Gesellschaft. It examines the two central mechanisms by which, in Polanyi’s understanding, Gesellschaft broke down in the mid-twentieth century: the ‘clash between democracy and capitalism,’ and a doctrine of ‘perverse effects’ whereby political intervention in markets impairs profitability and saps the vitality of the market system
