The material culture of the old Cape Colony has been well enough documented in largely descriptive studies and ÿpublications. There are comprehensive books on ?Cape Dutch? architecture, on furniture, silver, copper, and on what was the outstanding practitioner towards the end of the 18th century, Anton Anreith. What Hans Fransen has done in this new volume, is to investigate whether, and to what extent, the surprisingly rich body of Cape material culture ? the decorative gables of its homesteads, the city mansions with their ornate entrances and cornices, the superbly crafted armoires, can be seen as part and parcel of the international Baroque: that ebullient style of painting, architecture and design that swept across Europe and some of its spheres of influence.

North American Fiddle Music: A Research and Information Guide is the first large-scale annotated bibliography and research guide on the fiddle traditions of the United States and Canada. These countries, both of which have large immigrant populations as well as Native populations, have maintained fiddle traditions that, while sometimes faithful to old-world or Native styles, often feature blended elements from various traditions. Therefore, researchers of the fiddle traditions in these two countries can not only explore elements of fiddling practices drawn from various regions of the world, but also look at how different fiddle traditions can interact and change. In addition to including short essays and listings of resources about the full range of fiddle traditions in those two countries, it also discusses selected resources about fiddle traditions in other countries that have influenced the traditions in the United States and Canada.
Travel, Space, Architecture defines a new theoretical territory in architectural and urban scholarship that frames the processes of spatial production through the notion of travel. By aligning architectural thinking with current critical theory debates, this book explores whether dissociating culture from place and identity, and detaching the idea of architecture from both, can reframe our understanding of spatial and architectural practices. The book presents seventeen key case studies from a diverse range of perspectives including historical, theoretical, and praxis-based, and range from interrogations of architectural travel and notions of belonging and nationhood to challenging established geopolitical hierarchies.
