Lieu d'émergence de la politique, la cosmopolis l'est également de la stratégie, géopolitique et géostratégie se trouvant confondues dans ses murs, ses tours, sa voirie, ses places d'armes. Cependant, depuis 2001, cette dimension géographique des conflits a radicalement changé de nature, au point que la concentration metropolitique l'emporte désormais sur l'antique géopolitique des nations. Après Hiroshima, l'attentat massif contre New York a en effet inauguré l'ère du " déséquilibre de la terreur " en ruinant l'importance stratégique, non seulement du nombre d'adversaires en présence, mais également de toute étendue. Centralisant ainsi l'effroi sur la seule concentration verticale des métropoles, le caractère suicidaire de l'action engagée a ruiné avec la forme militaire de la guerre, la forme politique de la Cité.

Summary:
Ce livre traite de politique et d'architecture - de leurs interactions, de leurs intersections. Une occupation civile. La politique de l'architecture israélienne est la somme de travaux d'architectes, d'universitaires et d'auteurs israéliens, qui permet d'examiner le rôle de l'architecture israélienne dans le conflit du Moyen-Orient. À travers des essais, des cartes et des photographies, Une occupation civile démontre comment l'architecture et l'urbanisme sont, en un siècle, passés du statut d'activités professionnelles banales à celui d'instruments tactiques et d'armes stratégiques. Depuis le début du XXe siècle, le projet déclaré du sionisme consistait à bâtir un foyer national pour le peuple juif sur la terre d'Israël. Depuis l'offensive d'implantation des années trente, fondée sur les villages de type Homa Oumigdal (mur et tour) en passant par la planification totale de l'État d'Israël peu après son indépendance, jusqu'à la colonisation des territoires occupés de 1967 à ce jour - l'architecture israélienne a été l'instrument concret de la réalisation du projet sioniste, exactement à l'image de son objectif utopique. La controverse politique et professionnelle qui a suivi l'interdiction de la première édition de cet ouvrage par son éditeur originel, l'Association israélienne des architectes unis, est la preuve flagrante que l'architecture n'est absolument pas une activité innocente. Puisque Israël peut être considéré comme l'un des laboratoires les plus radicaux de notre époque, les questions que pose ce livre doivent être étudiées dans un contexte bien plus large: la politique de l'architecture israélienne n'est finalement pas différente de la politique de toute architecture.

Summary:
Acclaimed French photographer, filmmaker and journalist Raymond Depardon arrived in New York in the winter of 1980. He came to visit a friend who had just taken a job in the city, and to kill time he strolled around the streets with his Leica. As a self-imposed constraint, and to encourage serendipitous results, he decided to take pictures without ever using the camera's viewfinder. Working incognito throughout the nooks and crannies of New York City, Depardon amassed two or three rolls a day, but he was thoroughly disappointed by the results. He never mentioned the experiment to anybody and has only now decided to unveil these "blind" pictures to his public. Reexamining the work some 27 years after the photographs were taken, Depardon was surprised to discover that most of his subjects were aware that they were being photographed, and that consequently the images contain more artifice than he had expected. With an essay by Paul Virilio.

Summary:
Published to accompany an exhibition he has conceived for the Fondation Cartier in Paris, this book examines the philosophical issues raised by our confrontation with accidents and their impact on our world. Accidents capture our attention, surprise or shock us, disrupt or ultimately alter the course of our existence. Whether significant or insignificant, benign or disastrous, accidents always reveal something about ourselves and the systems we construct. For Virilio, to invent the ship is to invent the shipwreck, to invent electricity is to invent electrocution. Accidents are consequently, in his view, inherent in all technological systems. This catalogue features over 200 illustrations, including press photographs, paintings, and engravings representing natural and industrial accidents from the past three centuries. It also contains reproductions of the works of the many artists included in the exhibit, most notably Lebbeus Woods, Nancy Rubins, Stephen Vitiello, Cai Guo Qiang, Bruce Conner, Tony Oursler, Jonas Mekas, and Jem Cohen.

Summary:
Urbanist and technological theorist Paul Virilio trained as a painter, studying under Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Bazaine and de Stael. In The Accident of Art, his third extended conversation with Sylvère Lotringer, Virilio addresses the situation of art within technological society for the first time. This book completes a collaborative trilogy the two began in 1982 with Pure War and continued with Crepuscular Dawn, their 2002 work on architecture and biotechnology. In The Accident of Art, Virilio and Lotringer argue that a direct relation exists between war trauma and art. Why has art failed to reinvent itself in the face of technology, unlike performing art? Why has art simply retreated into painting, or surrendered to digital technology? Accidents, Virilio claims, can free us from speed's inertia. As technological catastrophes, accidents are inventions in their own right.

Summary:
How would it be if what we take for human advance were simply a technological progress that literally leaves us out of its equations? What if Progress is not humanity striking out bravely towards the future, but an ultimately destructive force? Paul Virilio paints a bleak picture of current scientific, cultural, social and political values. Art has succumbed to the techniques of advertising and in politics, the battle for hearts and minds has become a mere convergence of opinion. TV ratings have triumphed over universal suffrage. The events of September 11 reflect both the manipulation of a global sub-proletariat and the delusions of an élite of rich students and technicians who resemble the 'suicidal members of the Heaven's Gate cybersect'. And, in this post-humanist dystopia, we are morally rudderless before the threat of biological manipulations as yet undreamt.
