Un groupe d’ouvriers et d’étudiants rebelles, d’abord minoritaire mais bien décidé, va réussir l’impossible : se débarrasser du vieux parti communiste local et de la municipalité somnolente, et prendre le pouvoir dans la ville. Se réclamant explicitement de la Commune de Paris, ils créent un organisme nouveau, la Commune de Shanghai. Les ouvriers et les étudiants sont maîtres de la plus grande ville industrielle de Chine. Le livre retrace presque jour par jour cette aventure unique : la montée de la révolte, les luttes internes, la résistance féroce de ceux qui s’accrochent au pouvoir en s’appuyant sur l’armée, la victoire de la Commune – et puis le recul sur ordre de Mao qui craint lui-même que l’armée le lâche. La Commune de Shanghai, qui devient Comité révolutionnaire, aura duré moins longtemps que la Commune de Paris.

Summary:
Rien ne prédisposait Varian Fry à l’héroïsme. Fils de bonne famille, éduqué à Harvard et envoyé en reportage à Berlin en 1935, le journaliste découvre le nazisme et les persécutions contre les juifs. Son destin est scellé. En 1940, avec le soutien de la Présidente Eleanor Roosevelt et le Musée d’art moderne de New York, il forme le Centre américain de secours, dont le but est de sauver deux cents artistes et intellectuels piégés dans la zone libre. Envoyé à Marseille en août 1940 mais expulsé en septembre 1941, il aura sauvé près de deux mille personnes. Pour héberger et occuper tout ce monde, en marge de la ville, Varian Fry loue une vieille bastide – la Villa Air-Bel – et c’est toute la brève aventure que relate cet ouvrage à deux voix. Hélas détruite en 1982, les auteurs s’emploient tant par le récit que par le dessin à une restitution y compris en nous en livrant les coulisses de cette recherche menée avec des étudiants en architecture.

Summary:
From the iconic modernism of Luis Barragán to the brightly colored postmodern forms of Ricardo Legoretta, this important historical document deals with the plurality of architectural styles and voices in Mexico during the 20th and early 21st centuries. Referencing French philosopher Michel Foucault’s idea of effective history in which knowledge does not encompass absolute truths delivered in traditional historical texts but rather fragments, shortening its vision to the things nearest it, Architecture in Mexico offers a new reading of the diverse interests at stake in historical Mexican architecture—its production and its subsequent reception. The volume pursues comprehension beyond built forms and closer to the ideas (and ideologies) that gave rise to them.
