qCognitive Architectureq asks how evolving modalities--from bio-politics to qnoo-politicsq--can be mapped upon the city under contemporary conditions of urbanization and globalization. Noo-politics, most broadly understood as the power exerted over the life of the mind, reconfigures perception, memory and attention, and also implicates potential ways and means by which neurobiological architecture is undergoing reconfiguration. This volume, motivated by theories such as 'cognitive capitalism' and concepts such as 'neural plasticity, ' shows how architecture and urban processes and products commingle to form complex systems that produce novel forms of networks that empower the imagination and constitute the cultural landscape. This volume rethinks the relations between form and forms of communication, calling for a new logic of representation; it examines the manner in which information, with its non-hierarchical and distributed format is contributing both to the sculpting of brain and production of mind. qCognitive Architectureq brings together renowned specialists in the areas of political and aesthetic philosophy, neuroscience, socio-cultural and architecture theory, visual and spatial theorists and practitioners.She is the new editor of the journal Body aamp; Society (Sage) and a co-editor of the new journal Subjectivity (Palgrave). ... She is the author of three books: Film Cultures (2002); The Evolution of Film (2007), and Chris Marker: La Jetee (2009).
