Reframing The Vernacular: Politics, Semiotics, And Representation

Description

The aim of this book is to reflect on ''vernacularity'' and culture. It concentrates on two major domains: first it attempts to reframe our understanding of vernacularity by addressing the subject in the context of globalisation, cross-disciplinarity, and development, and second, it discusses the phenomenon of how vernacularity has been treated, used, employed, manipulated, practiced, maintained, learned, reconstructed, preserved and conserved, at the level of individual and community experience. Scholars from a wide variety of knowledge fields have participated in enriching and engaging discussions, as to how both domains can be addressed. To expedite these aims, this book adopts the theme "Reframing the Vernacular: Politics, Semiotics, and Representation",organised around the following major sub-themes: • Transformation in the vernacular built environment • Vernacular architecture and representation • The meaning of home • Symbolic intervention and interpretation of vernacularity • The semiotics of place • The politics of ethnicity and settlement • Global tourism and its impacts on vernacular settlement • Vernacular built form and aesthetics • Technology and construction in vernacular built forms • Vernacular language - writing and oral traditions Front Matter ....Pages i-xi Reframing the Vernacular and Other Tales (Abidin Kusno)....Pages 1-12 Landfill Vernacular (John Devlin)....Pages 13-30 ‘Bale Kulkul’ Architecture as the Representation of Balinese Autonomy Tradition (Christina Gantini)....Pages 31-41 Cultural Burning and the Interstices of Two Vernacular Cultural Forms (Campbell Drake)....Pages 43-54 The Effects ‘Share-Economy’ Based Accommodation Service on Vernacular Settlement (Case Study: Yogyakarta’s Sultanate Palace Complex) (Trias Mahendarto)....Pages 55-64 The Shift of Symbolic Meaning of Joglo Houses for People in Brayut Tourism Village (Purwanto Hadi, Vincentia Reni Vitasurya, Eduardus Kevin Pandu)....Pages 65-74 Designing for Vernacular Landscape Through Ecosystem-Approach: A Case of Floating Settlements at Dal Lake, Kashmir (Tanya Talwar, Sanjeev Singh)....Pages 75-83 Place Making and Ordering Life.
