Architecture in Chile and Poland, 1970\u20131990<\/em><\/a>, argues for a redefinition of postmodern architecture. While postmodern architecture is traditionally considered an apolitical reflection of capitalist affluence, Klein presents a different perspective, investigating postmodern architecture\u2019s political manifestations in the unlikely settings of Chile during the neoliberal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet and Poland during the late socialist Polish People\u2019s Republic.<\/p>\nPublished recently by Routledge, Political Postmodernisms <\/em>has three goals. First, it challenges the familiar narrative regarding postmodern architecture as following the \u201ccultural logic of late capitalism\u201d (Fredric Jameson) or as a socially conservative project (J\u00fcrgen Habermas). Second, it fills in portions of Chilean and Polish architectural history that have been neglected by Chilean and Polish architectural historians themselves. Third, Political Postmodernisms<\/em> shows how architecture can work as a political form \u2013 serving propagandistic purposes and functioning as part of oppositional projects.<\/p>\nPolitical Postmodernisms<\/em> is Klein\u2019s sixth book. Her other book projects include the single-author study, Living Architectures: Biological Analogies in Architecture of the End of the 20th Century<\/em> (Warsaw: Fundacja Kultury Miejsca, 2014) [in Polish], and edited books, Transformation: Polish Art, Design and Architecture After 1989<\/em> (Warsaw: Fundacja Kultury Miejsca, 2017) [in Polish], Polish Postmodernism: Architecture and Urbanism<\/em> (Warsaw: 40000 Malarzy, 2013) [in Polish], and Making the walls quake as if they were dilating with the secret knowledge of great powers<\/em> (Warsaw: Zacheta, 2012), co-edited with Michal Libera.<\/p>\nHer newest project is a book on the crisis of modernist urban planning in Eastern Bloc countries.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
