The "tyranny of the private realm" is destroying our cities. Modern architecture, with its insistence on the mute object and its rejection of the conventions of street and square, has abdicated civic responsibility and eschewed the urban forms that express and promote it. In this eloquent and extensively illustrated study of the evolution of a modern conception of space, Michael Dennis explores the social, psychological, and especially the formal transformations that that led architects to trade the city of public space for a city of private icons. The French hôtel, an aristocratic town house developed largely in Paris between 1550 and 1800, is a sophisticated instrument of urbanism that both chronicles the demise of the public realm and offers architectural techniques for reconstructing a spatially rich city. In its development from Italianate prototypes to an urban courtyard building and finally to a freestanding pavilion in a private garden, the French hôtel illustrates the transformation of the city from one of platonic voids to one of platonic solids, from one of buildings that define space to one of buildings that treat space as merely left over. In reconstructing the origins of the modern city—and the modern sense of privacy—Dennis focuses on the plan of the hôtel and on the relationship between the external and internal organization of buildings. He identifies three distinct hôtel types—Baroque, Roccoco, and Neoclassical—and examines the urban and social changes reflected in their sitings and facades and in such details as the sequence of public and private rooms, patterns of circulation, and the proliferation of rooms with special functions. By studying the plans, Dennis asserts, modern architects can recapture the language of urbanism and learn how to reconcile modern and traditional modes of building organization and spatial development. The extensive documentation he provides—nearly 400 illustrations, including historical maps of Paris, hôtel plans, and photographs of extant hôtels—encourages that study and significantly extends the tradition of illustrated architectural treatises by Marot (c. 1670), Blondell (1752-1756) and Krafft (c. 1802), establishing this book as the definitive scholarly work on the French hôtel.

Full Employment Horizon in 20th-Century America, The: The Movement for Economic Democracy

Through moments of social protest, policy debate, and popular mobilization, this book follows the campaign for economic democracy and the fight for full employment in the United States. Starting in the 1930s, Dennis explores its intellectual and philosophical underpinnings, the class struggle that determined the fate of legislation and the role of left-wing civil rights activists in its revival. With an emphasis on the grassroots perspective, The Full Employment Horizon in 20th-Century America highlights how social movements reshaped the idea of full employment, expanding its democratic parameters and showing its potential to liberate workers across the racial and ethnic spectrum. Demonstrating how the campaign for full employment intersected with movements for women's liberation and civil rights, it explores how social groups and oppressed minorities interpreted and appropriated the promise of full employment and economic emancipation. In this book, Dennis uncovers the class dimensions and the resistance to full employment in the US, and demonstrates how the inequalities and inherent tensions within a capitalist society meant the social vision of full employment would continue to challenge the assertion that capitalism automatically generated employment for all.

Through moments of social protest, policy debate, and popular mobilization, this book follows the campaign for economic democracy and the fight for full employment in the United States. Starting in the 1930s, Dennis explores its intellectual and philosophical underpinnings, the class struggle that determined the fate of legislation and the role of left-wing civil rights activists in its revival. Demonstrating how the campaign for full employment intersected with movements for women's liberation and civil rights, it explores how social groups and oppressed minorities interpreted and appropriated the promise of full employment. For many, full employment provided an indispensable path to racial and gender emancipation. In this book, Dennis uncovers the class dimensions and the resistance to full employment in the US. He demonstrates how the recurring debates over full employment consistently exposed the contradictions inherent in a capitalist society and challenged the assertion that an allegedly free enterprise system automatically generated employment for all.

Low-life ad executive and part-time drunk Chris Van Zandt is on an existential conquest to find love any way he can. Single and Loathing It is a razor-sharp and intensely funny depiction of the desperate days and nights on the dating circuit as a millennial. With nothing but optimism, pharmaceuticals, copious amounts of alcohol, and an array of smartass comments to aide him in his mission, Van Zandt's life spirals into a series of bizarre escapades, including getting catfished, dating a born-again virgin, attending an upscale orgy while on MDMA, and just about anything involving his unforgettably eccentric friend and co-worker, Greg. Overflowing with satire, mediocre sex, and mindless drinking, Van Zandt learns the bitter reality of text etiquette, the awkward consequences of dating in the workplace, the constant hilarity of the advertising world, and even uncovers a few hidden truths about himself. Will Chris rediscover his sense of morality and find the love of his life? Or will he stumble further down Desolation Row? Sure to appeal to anyone who has ever found him- or herself single without a clue about what they're doing, Single and Loathing It is a laugh-out-loud odyssey that only a hardened veteran of the dating frontline could write.

Poetry. Selected and with an Introduction by Stuart Ross.   Michael Dennis has been hammering his love, his anger, his grief, and his awe into poems for over forty years. With seven books and nearly twenty chapbooks to his credit, Dennis isn't exactly a household name in Canadian poetry, but he is a natural heir to poets like Canadian icon Al Purdy and American legends Eileen Myles and Charles Bukowski. His poems are his life made into poems: direct, emphatic, honest.   BAD ENGINE brings together mostly revised versions of about 100 poems selected from Dennis's published work, along with several dozen new poems. This volume, introduced and edited by Dennis's long-time friend, the poet and editor Stuart Ross, marks a milestone in the career of a homegrown, no-bullshit, tells-it- likes-he-sees-it populist bard. Here the reader will find a rollicking tale of drinking with racists, poignant prayers for quiet nights with lovers, raw narratives of childhood abuse, defiant anthems of a body broken by sports injuries, a mindful meditation about a stoned dragonfly, and the not-quite- resigned laughter of a man smashing away at a keyboard for four decades and becoming neither rich nor famous.
