Architecture in black
by Darell Wayne Fields
"Architecture in Black argues that architecture, as an aesthetic practice, and blackness, as a linguistic practice, operate within the same semiotic paradigm. The book presents the first systematic analysis of the theoretical relationship between architecture and blackness."
"Employing a technique whereby texts are related through the repetition and revision of their semiotic structures, Architecture in Black reconstructs the genealogy of a black racial subject represented by the simultaneous reading of a range of canonical texts from Hegel to Saussure to Henry Louis Gates, Jr. The conceptual apparatus invented by this reading is then used to critique a discrete set of architectural texts, demonstrating the presence of the "black vernacular" in contemporary architectural theory."--Jacket.
