What is Architectural History

(やまだぃちぅ) #1

140 Notes to pages 30– 32


Essays on G. B. Piranesi, ed. Mario Bevilacqua, Heather Hyde
Minor & Fabio Barry (Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of
Michigan Press, 2006), 150. Kantor-Kazovsky points readers
to Krzysztof Pomian, ‘Mariette et Winckelmann’, Revue
Germanique Internationale 13 (2000): 11–38.
30 Kantor-Kazovsky, Piranesi, ch. 1, ‘The Graeco-Roman
Controversy: Piranesi between Humanism and Enlightenment’,
19 – 58. Piranesi’s Parere is published in English as Observa-
tions on the Letter of Monsieur Mariette, with Opinions on
Architecture, and a Preface to a New Treatise on the Introduc-
tion and Progress of the Fine Arts in Europe in Ancient Times,
ed. Caroline Beamish & David Britt (Los Angeles: Getty
Research Institute, 2002).
31 Livy, Ab urbe condita; Engl. edn, The History of Rome, 4 vols.
(London: Bell, 1880–1911). Kantor-Kazovsky, Piranesi, 50.
32 Michel Foucault, L’Archéologie du savoir (Paris: Gallimard,
1970); Engl. edn, The Archaeology of Knowledge, trans.
A. M. Sheridan Smith (New York: Pantheon, 1972). Foucault’s
point is beyond the scope of this book, but his thought has
proven important to architectural historians in recent decades.
Consider Paul Hirst, Space and Power: Politics, War and
Architecture (Cambridge: Polity, 2005).
33 This analogy is Wölffl in’s. See his essay ‘Prolegomena to a
Psychology of Architecture’, in Empathy, Form and Space:
Problems in German Aesthetics, 1873– 1893 , trans. & ed.
Harry Francis Mallgrave & Eleftherios Ikonomou (Santa
Monica: Getty Center for the History of Arts and Humanities,
1994), 149–90, 183. Also Frederic J. Schwartz, ‘Cathedrals
and Shoes: Concepts of Style in Wölffl in and Adorno’, New
German Critique 76 (Winter 1999): 3–48.
34 See, for example, Joanna Besley, ‘Home Improvement, the
Popular and the Everyday’, in In the Making: Architecture’s
Past, 18th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural
Historians, Australia and New Zealand, ed. Kevin Green
(Darwin: SAHANZ, 2001), 305–12; Andrea Renner, ‘A
Nation that Bathes Together: New York City’s Progressive Era
Public Baths’, and Marta Gutman, ‘Race, Place and Play:
Robert Moses and the WPA Swimming Pools in New York
City’, JSAH 67, no. 4 (December 2008): 504–31 and 532–61,
respectively.
35 On the history and theory of cultural history, I defer to Peter
Burke, What is Cultural History? (Cambridge: Polity, 2004);
and his Varieties of Cultural History (Ithaca and London:
Cornell University Press, 1997).
