C'est à Berlin, en 1926, que le réalisateur russe S. M.

Summary:

Eisenstein découvre l'utilisation architecturale du verre et la place qu'il occupe dans un certain nombre d'utopies de réconciliation sociale (Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier…). C'est alors qu'il envisage de réaliser Glass House, un projet inabouti dont il ne reste aujourd'hui que ses notes de travail, publiées dans cet ouvrage. Un projet pourtant tenté à Hollywood lorsqu'Eisenstein imagina la conception d'un gratte-ciel en verre où tous seraient soumis au regard de tous, où chacun serait renvoyé à sa solitude par soumission aux valeurs capitalistes, et où la question de l'aliénation sociale se mêlerait à celle du «trouble dans le genre» au travers de personnages venus tout droit de la tradition berlinoise du cabaret. Charlie Chaplin, fasciné par cette anti-utopie où lumière et transparence aboutissent à la coercition et à la mort, avait alors soutenu le réalisateur russe. Ce n'est donc pas un hasard si, dans Le Dictateur, Hinckel avoue à Napaloni être amateur de «moderne» et vouloir mettre partout des parois et plafonds en verre. Mais Glass House fut également un projet de cinéma : un cinéma échappant aux lois de la pesanteur, à l'héritage de la peinture naturaliste et à l'architecture traditionnelle, qui conduisit Eisenstein à une réflexion esthétique sur les thèmes du polycentrisme et de l'hétérotopie – thèmes que l'art moderne et contemporain ne cesseront jamais de travailler.

In most cities worldwide, such a concentration of cinemas would have been demolished long ago - here however the buildings have survived the end of film-projection intact, some of their interiors ruined and gutted, others transformed and re-used as churches, nightclubs and storage spaces. Stephen Barber begins with an exploration of these remarkable derelicts, and broadens to ask questions about the abandonment of film itself.

Summary:
This publication illuminates the dynamic relationship between the visual media, particularly film and theater, and the planning and development of cities in China and Taiwan, from the emergence of the People’s Republic in 1949 to the staging of the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Yomi Braester argues that the transformation of Chinese cities in recent decades is a result not only of China’s abandonment of Maoist economic planning in favor of capitalist globalization but also of a shift in visual practices. Rather than simply reflect urban culture, movies and stage dramas have facilitated the development of new perceptions of space and time, representing the future city variously as an ideal socialist city, a metropolis integrated into the global economy, and a site for preserving cultural heritage. Drawing on extensive archival research, interviews with leading filmmakers and urban planners, and close readings of scripts and images, Braester describes how films and stage plays have promoted and opposed official urban plans and policies as they have addressed issues such as demolition-and-relocation plans, the preservation of vernacular architecture, and the global real estate market. He shows how the cinematic rewriting of historical narratives has accompanied the spatial reorganization of specific urban sites, including Nanjing Road in Shanghai; veterans’ villages in Taipei; and Tiananmen Square, centuries-old courtyards, and postmodern architectural landmarks in Beijing.
