ABE Journal - Architecture Beyond Europe, Issue 9-10, 2016

Ricardo Agarez

ABE Journal is pleased to announce the release of issue 9-10 | 2016.

This issue’s thematic section, guest-edited by Mark Crinson (Birkbeck College, London), is devoted to ‘Dynamic Vernacular’ and includes contributions by Christopher Cowell, Yael Allweil, Ayala Levin and Amanda Achmadi.

Founded in 2012, ABE Journal – Architecture Beyond Europe is a scholarly, double blind peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the study of 19th- and 20th-century architecture and urbanism outside of Europe. It focuses primarily on the transfers, adaptations and appropriations of forms, technologies, models and doctrines in colonial and postcolonial situations. Conceived as a place of exchange in an emerging and dynamic field of research, ABE Journal aims to provide a specialist scholarly forum for the discussion and dissemination of ideas relating to architecture in the colonial and postcolonial realms, as well as to local forms of modernism. It publishes articles and contents in five languages (French, English, Spanish, German and Italian) and is edited by the research centre InVisu (CNRS/INHA) in Paris.

Issue 11 | 2017 of ABE Journal is due in June 2017 and features a thematic section on ‘Paradoxical Southeast Asia’, guest-edited by Caroline Herbelin (University of Toulouse II-Jean Jaurès).

Specific calls for thematic section papers are regularly open, with their own schedule of deadlines.

Concurrently, we welcome the submission of papers that fit the remit of the journal while being unrelated to specific thematic sections, as well as of new thematic section proposals, at all times.

All submissions should be sent to abeinha.fr.
