Architecture and Architechne: building and revealing in high-caste Nepalese houses / Gray, John   Journal Article
Gray, John Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract In this paper I identify the doubleness of domestic space-not just as architecture, that is, the production of houses that expresses social reality, cultural meanings and/or cosmology, but also as architechnemacr, that is, as the embodied experience, tacit knowledge and revelation produced by everyday living in domestic space. This distinction provides the framework for analysing Nepali houses as domestic mandalas. I argue that in the taken-for-granted, everyday use of domestic space as architechnemacr, Nepalis engage in an embodied bringing forth of their houses as an enframing whole, as a structure of revealing of the cosmos and the nature of their lifeworld as Householders.

Safe as house: conservative social political public opinion and parliament / Bochel, Hugh; Defty, Andrew   Journal Article
Bochel, Hugh Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Social policy is of key importance to contemporary society, accounting for two thirds of public expenditure and, through provision such as the NHS, pensions, benefits, schools, universities and social care, touching on the lives of much of the population on a daily basis. It has also been one of the areas where the Conservative party have sought to change their image, and to some extent policies, under David Cameron. Drawing upon a range of evidence, including interviews with more than ten per cent of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, this article examines the potential challenges for a Conservative government of either stance, focusing on the extent of possible support for the Conservatives' approach to social policy amongst three key groups: the public, MPs, and members of the House of Lords.
