Summary:
« Lorsqu'on pense à Chaplin, on a envie, avant tout, de faire la lumière sur cet étrange mode de pensée qui lui permet de voir les événements d'une manière si bizarre et de leur répondre par des images d'une telle bizarrerie ; et, dans ce mode de pensée, d'identifier l'élément qui, avant même de se constituer en vision du monde, existe au stade de l'observation du monde(...)

« Lorsqu'on pense à Chaplin, on a envie, avant tout, de faire la lumière sur cet étrange mode de pensée qui lui permet de voir les événements d'une manière si bizarre et de leur répondre par des images d'une telle bizarrerie ; et, dans ce mode de pensée, d'identifier l'élément qui, avant même de se constituer en vision du monde, existe au stade de l'observation du monde environnant. Bref, nous ne nous occuperons pas de la conception du monde de Chaplin, mais de sa perception du monde, de sa capacité à appréhender la vie, laquelle engendre les conceptions inimitables, uniques, de ce qu'on appelle l'humour chaplinien... »

Summary:
From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon's CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older Americans. Finding that social security comes up short, often underwater on mortgages, these invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in late-model RVs, travel trailers, and vans, forming a growing community of nomads: migrant laborers who call themselves ''workampers.'' On frequently traveled routes between seasonal jobs, Jessica Bruder meets people from all walks of life: accompanying them from campground toilet cleaning to warehouse product scanning to desert reunions, then moving on to the dangerous work of beet harvesting, Bruder tells an eye-opening tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy- one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us.

Summary:
French photographer and musician Olivier Degorce is usually associated with the emergence of the 1990s electronic music scene, where he was one of the first to compulsively document the Paris raves and electric underground scene. But with camera always in hand, he created many more series, which are only now coming to light. In ''Fridge Food Soul,'' Degorce became fascinated with the contents of peoples refrigerators, creating a voluminous archive of images from 1993 to 2017. Using various cameras, from large formal to point and shoot, he captured the colors and smells of items fresh and long expired, while never missing an opportunity to raid a fridge and capture the sheer diversity of individual eating habits. The final presentation is a voyeuristic-like collection of contemporary still lifes.

Summary:
'We' takes place in a distant future, where humans are forced to submit their wills to the requirements of the state, under the rule of the all-powerful Benefactor, and dreams are regarded as a sign of mental illness. In a city of straight lines, protected by green walls and a glass dome, a spaceship is being built in order to spearhead the conquest of new planets. Its chief engineer, a man called D-503, keeps a journal of his life and activities: to his mathematical mind everything seems to make sense and proceed as it should, until a chance encounter with a woman threatens to shatter the very foundations of the world he lives in. Written in a highly charged, direct and concise style, Zamyatin's 1921 seminal novel is not only an indictment of the Soviet Russia of his time and a precursor of the works of Orwell and the dystopian genre, but also a prefiguration of much of twentieth-century history and a harbinger of the ominous future that may still lay ahead of us.

Summary:
'' Love of worker bees,'' written by one of the most famous and gifted Russian authors of the twentieth century, was greeted on publication in 1923 as too sexually explicit. The book collects three works of fiction, ''Vasilisa Malygina,'' ''Three Generations,'' and ''Sisters,'' creating a powerful love story with a graphic and a rare portrayal of Russian life in the 1920s. The first piece is set in Russia after the October Revolution and the Civil War, The heroine Vasya struggles to come to terms with her husband and the demands of the new world in which she lives. The second story depicts the way in which three generations of women differ in their attitudes and expectations; and ''Sisters'' is a story of a deserted wife and a prostitute who find a common bond. Each story unfolds against a backdrop populated by the ''ordinary'' Russian people of the time- Party workers, entrepreneurs, prostitutes, manipulators, and idealists.

Summary:
In this Eurasian post-Soviet space, we try to find the continuities with Communism - if there are any - and the remnants of revolutions both distant and recent. Instead of a wistful journey through ruins, this intends to be an engaged travelogue, a subjective, personal Marxist Humanist guidebook to somewhere that actually exists, but which is constantly haunted by what it didn't become, whether a real Communist utopia or a successful or fair capitalism. In the course of this transcontinental account of what used to be the Soviet Union and is now a patchwork of EU democracies, neoliberal dictatorships and Soviet nostalgic enclaves (often found in the same countries) we might just find the outlines of a way of building cities that is a powerful alternative, both in the past and present.
