In Life Beside Itself Lisa Stevenson takes us on a haunting ethnographic journey through two historical moments when life for the Canadian Inuit has hung in the balance the tuberculosis epidemic (1940s to the early 1960s) & the subsequent suicide epidemic (1980s to the present) Along the way Stevenson troubles our commonsense understanding of what life is & what it means to care for the life of another Through close attention to the images in which we think & dream & through which we understand the world Stevenson describes a world in which life is beside itself the name-soul of a teenager who dies in a crash lives again in his friend's newborn baby a young girl shares a last smoke with a dead friend in a dream & the possessed hands of a clock spin uncontrollably over its face In these contexts humanitarian policies make little sense because they attempt to save lives by merely keeping a body alive For the Inuit & perhaps for all of us life is "somewhere else" & the task is to articulate forms of care for others that are adequate to that truth ...

The first Danish language version of this book published in 1971 was very much a protest against the functionalistic principles for planning cities & residential areas that prevailed during that period The book carried an appeal to show concern for the people who were to move about between buildings & it urged an understanding of the subtle almost indefinable
- but definite
- qualities which have always related to the interaction of people in public spaces & it pointed to the life between buildings as a dimension of architecture that needs to be carefully treated Now 40 years later many architectural trends & ideologies have passed by over the years These intervening years have also shown that the liveliness & liveability of cities & residential areas continues to be a important issue The intensity in which fine public spaces are used at this point in time as well as the greatly increased general interest in the quality of cities & their public spaces emphasises this point The character of life between buildings changes with changes in any given social context but the essential principles & quality criteria to be employed when working with life between buildings has proven to be remarkably constant Though this work over the years has been updated & revised several times this version bears little resemblance with the very early versions however there was no reason to change the basic message Take good care of the life between your buildings
