Paperback. Condizione: New. A transdisciplinary history of the 20th-century office, exploring how its spatial forms, technological systems and managerial ideologies were constructed, challenged and lived with.Throughout the twentieth century, office buildings became central to the organisation of societies - yet what went on inside them has remained remarkably understudied. Behind Office Doors explores this history by focusing on users and everyday practices. It examines how office spaces were conceived by architects, designers and managers, and how they were inhabited, experienced and contested by workers. From filing cabinets and air conditioning to EU offices and colonial bureaucracies, the chapters trace how design, technology and organisational thinking shaped office life. Alongside case studies on Europe, North America, Asia and colonial Africa, the contributions reflect on how the office has been approached in historiography. Drawing on cross-disciplinary research, this book argues for the development of historical office studies, showing how the design and management of offices have shaped cultures of work.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. This monograph examines the interrelationship between politics and modernist architecture in interwar Belgium, focusing on political, architectural, and administrative elites as propagators of new ideas of governance. While Belgium was strongly influenced by neighbouring France and Germany, it also developed its own avant-garde approaches to socio-political problems. In the second half of the 1930s, the country was the scene of a remarkable political and architectural experiment involving an ambitious plan for the large-scale construction of modernist government office buildings. These buildings were seen as essential to the development of a technocratic model of governance, aimed at strengthening the role of the executive and minimising the influence of parliament. More specifically, the "efficient" new office architecture was supposed to create a new type of "perfect" civil servant, whose loyalties would no longer lie with political parties, but with scientists and management experts. Such experts and scientists constituted a rising elite of homines novi with strong (though often veiled) political ambitions. As such, this book contributes to our understanding of political culture in the "age of extremes".…

Die Reihe 'Elitenwandel in der Moderne' untersucht die Relevanz und den Bedeutungswandel von Eliten in der Perspektive der europäischen Moderne seit dem ausgehenden 18. Jahrhundert. Eine bedeutende Stellung nehmen Studien zum erfolgreichen und scheiternden Machtbeharren des Adels, aber auch zum Wandel dieser Gruppe ein. Gleichzeitig nimmt die Reihe das Aufkommen neuer Elitenformationen in den Blick und fragt nach den Mechanismen von Bedeutungszuweisung als Folge des Aufstiegs der Massenmedien und gesellschaftlicher Mobilisierung.
