Was sind marxistische Architekturgeschichte und -kritik? Welche Methoden wenden sie an, und worauf beziehen sich ihre kritischen Analysen? Diese Fragen sind nicht neu, aber müssen jetzt im Lichte der kontinuierlichen Erweiterung und Überarbeitung des Marxismus in Reaktion auf die aktuellen globalen Krisen anders bewertet werden. Struggles in the Concrete ist ein Beitrag zu diesem Versuch: In elf Kapiteln werden klassische marxistische Kategorien und historische Zusammenhänge überdacht und ein kritischer Rahmen für die Analyse von Architektur und Kapitalismus heutzutage entwickelt. Die Texte beschäftigen sich mit bedeutenden Theoretikern wie Siegfried Kracauer, Manfredo Tafuri und Stuart Hall ebenso wie mit wieder zu entdeckenden Figuren wie Marta Lonzi, Sérgio Ferro und Anthony D. King. <UL> <LI>Instrumentarium für kritisches Denken im aktuellen Architekturdiskurs zu den globalen Krisen</LI> <LI>Beiträge namhafter Architekturhistoriker:innen und -theoretiker:innen: Claire Zimmerman, Katie Lloyd Thomas, Silke Kapp, Nicholas Thoburn, Onyeka Igwe </LI> </UL>

What are Marxist architectural history and criticism? What methods do they employ, and what are their objects of critical analysis? These questions have been asked before, but now more than ever, they require reassessment in light of the continuous expansion and revision of Marxism in response to new global crises.　Struggles in the Concrete: Architecture and the Marxist Tradition embarks on this endeavour. The eleven chapters not only reconsider classical Marxist categories and historical conjunctures, but also devise new critical frameworks for analysing architecture and capitalism today. The book reconsiders neglected figures like Marta Lonzi, Sérgio Ferro, and Anthony D. King, as well as re-engaging with major figures like Siegfried Kracauer, Manfredo Tafuri, and Stuart Hall. <UL> <LI>Tool for critical thinking in the current architectural discourse on global crises</LI> <LI>Contributions by renowned architectural historians and theorists: Claire Zimmerman, Katie Lloyd Thomas, Silke Kapp, Nicholas Thoburn, Onyeka Igwe </LI></UL>
