| Zusammenfassung: | "Utopia" is a word not often associated with the city of Bangkok, which is better known for its disorderly sprawl, overburdened roads, and stifling levels of pollution. Yet as early as 1782, when the city was officially founded on the banks of the Chao Phraya river as the home of the Chakri dynasty, its orientation was based on material and rhetorical considerations that alluded to ideal times and spaces. The construction of palaces, monastic complexes, walls, forts, and canals created a defensive network while symbolically locating the terrestrial realm of the king within the Theravada Buddhist cosmos. Into the twentieth century, pictorial, narrative, and built representations of utopia were critical to Bangkok's transformation into a national capital and commercial entrepôt. But as older representations of the universe encountered modern architecture, building technologies, and urban planning, new images of an ideal society attempted to reconcile urban-based understandings of Buddhist liberation and felicitous states like nirvana with worldly models of political community like the nation-state.Bangkok Utopia outlines an alternative genealogy of both utopia and modernism in a part of the world that has often been overlooked by researchers of both. It examines representations of utopia that developed in the city-as expressed in built forms as well as architectural drawings, building manuals, novels, poetry, and ecclesiastical murals-from its first general strike of migrant laborers in 1910 to the overthrow of the military dictatorship in 1973. Using Thai- and Chinese-language archival sources, the book demonstrates how the new spaces of the city became arenas for modern subject formation, utopian desires, political hegemony, and social unrest, arguing that the modern city was a space of antinomy-one able not only to sustain heterogeneous temporalities, but also to support conflicting world views within the urban landscape. By underscoring the paradoxical character of utopias and their formal narrative expressions of both hope and hegemony, Bangkok Utopia provides an innovative way to conceptualize the uneven economic development and fractured political conditions of contemporary global cities |

Knapp Honolulu University of Hawaii Press [2021] © 2021 1 Online-Ressource (296 Seiten) Illustrationen txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Spatial Habitus: Making and meaning in Asia's architecture Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 25. Feb 2021) Portions of chapters 2 and 5 appeared as "A Tale of Two Crematoria: Funeral Architecture and the Politics of Representation in Mid-Twentieth-Century Bangkok" in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians 77, no. 3 (September 2018) "Utopia" is a word not often associated with the city of Bangkok, which is better known for its disorderly sprawl, overburdened roads, and stifling levels of pollution. Yet as early as 1782, when the city was officially founded on the banks of the Chao Phraya river as the home of the Chakri dynasty, its orientation was based on material and rhetorical considerations that alluded to ideal times and spaces. The construction of palaces, monastic complexes, walls, forts, and canals created a defensive network while symbolically locating the terrestrial realm of the king within the Theravada Buddhist cosmos. Into the twentieth century, pictorial, narrative, and built representations of utopia were critical to Bangkok's transformation into a national capital and commercial entrepôt. But as older representations of the universe encountered modern architecture, building technologies, and urban planning, new images of an ideal society attempted to reconcile urban-based understandings of Buddhist liberation and felicitous states like nirvana with worldly models of political community like the nation-state.Bangkok Utopia outlines an alternative genealogy of both utopia and modernism in a part of the world that has often been overlooked by researchers of both. It examines representations of utopia that developed in the city-as expressed in built forms as well as architectural drawings, building manuals, novels, poetry, and ecclesiastical murals-from its first general strike of migrant laborers in 1910 to the overthrow of the military dictatorship in 1973. Using Thai- and Chinese-language archival sources, the book demonstrates how the new spaces of the city became arenas for modern subject formation, utopian desires, political hegemony, and social unrest, arguing that the modern city was a space of antinomy-one able not only to sustain heterogeneous temporalities, but also to support conflicting world views within the urban landscape. By underscoring the paradoxical character of utopias and their formal narrative expressions of both hope and hegemony, Bangkok Utopia provides an innovative way to conceptualize the uneven economic development and fractured political conditions of contemporary global cities In English Geschichte gnd rswk-swf ARCHITECTURE / History / General bisacsh Architecture Political aspects Thailand Bangkok City planning Religious aspects Buddhism City planning Thailand Bangkok History City planning Thailand Bangkok Religious aspects Buddhism Urban ecology (Sociology) Thailand Bangkok Visionary architecture Thailand Bangkok Architektur (DE-588)4002851-3 gnd rswk-swf Stadtplanung (DE-588)4056754-0 gnd rswk-swf Bangkok (DE-588)4004432-4 gnd rswk-swf Bangkok (DE-588)4004432-4 g Stadtplanung (DE-588)4056754-0 s Architektur (DE-588)4002851-3 s Geschichte z DE-604 Knapp, Ronald G. edt Ruan, Xing edt Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-0-8248-8460-4 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-0-8248-8774-2 https://doi.org/10.1515/9780824887735 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
