Summary:
Some of the earliest canals in colonial America, referred to as the ''Inner Passage'', were constructed by enslaved people living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina in the early 1700s. In a paradox of history, for over a hundred years enslaved Black people used these canals, constructed for white plantation owners, to travel southward to freedom in Spanish Florida. In this book, Virginia McGee Richards documents the lost narrative of the ''Inner Passage'' through 60 extraordinary photographs of landscapes altered by slavery and portraits of Lowcountry descendants, along with an essay describing her discovery of this untold history. In an accompanying essay, Imani Perry writes about her own journey on the ''Inner Passage'', putting Black resistance to enslavement and Southern history into an immediate context. James Estrin brings decades of insight about photography and the power of visual storytelling to his affecting foreword. Together, these words and images offer a powerful living map of history.

Summary:
''The Moment of Cubism'' is one of John Berger’s most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin’s poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin’s sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures – Picasso and Braque above all. He makes a case for Cubism’s revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.

Summary:
La résistance ne se définit pas par ce qu'elle défend, mais par ce à quoi elle s'oppose. Face aux idéologies, aux croyances et aux systèmes de domination, elle se décline en formes multiples : militaire, civile, culturelle. Dans un contexte de crises politiques et sociales persistantes, la résistance culturelle s'affirme comme un mode d'action à part entière, doté de ses propres stratégies. En dialogue avec Elleux – étudiant·es de l'École supérieure d'art Annecy Alpes (Pallas Aleta, Nausicaä Bigot-Merceron, Hanna Ilnitskaya, Léa Lenormand-Van Den Reysen, Allan Madin, Grace Nitoumbi, Primo Ouvrard et Olena Yaroshevets), Alexis Nouss, auteur du texte, propose sept leçons pour penser et pratiquer une lutte de résistance spécifique.

Summary:
''Junk Drawer: What We Leave Behind'' explores the personal objects that were once treasured by their owners yet were ultimately consigned to online “junk drawer” sales. Photographer and coeditor Barbara Von Eckardt acquired these random assortments from estate remnants on eBay and has documented their contents through evocative, sepia-toned images. In doing so, she has breathed new life into items the world had deemed valueless, but that hint at the stories and identities of those who once owned them. In addition to the photographs, Von Eckardt and coeditor Sander L. Gilman have gathered essays by scholars across disciplines, each offering a unique perspective on how such everyday objects can carry profound meaning. The result is a “junk drawer” of reflections, as varied and thought-provoking as the artifacts themselves. It is a moving testament to the emotional and cultural resonance of ordinary things—and an invitation to look more deeply at the objects surrounding us.

Summary:
« Est-il possible de penser la technologie et l’IA à la lueur de la création artistique? ». C’est en essayant de répondre à cette question que Louis de Diesbach nous montre comment la puissance du monde artistique éclaire les limites de la technique, et comment nous pouvons repenser notre rapport à l’intelligence artificielle. Nourri de plus de cent vingt rencontres avec des acteurs du monde de l’art – artistes, philosophes, entrepreneurs, juristes… – Louis de Diesbach utilise la création artistique comme prisme pour interroger l’IA. Il révèle une résistance singulière : face à une technologie qui standardise, l’art nous montre notre besoin de nous arracher aux logiques strictement mathématiques. Cela étant, l’auteur de ce livre rappelle qu’il reste de nombreuses questions à aborder, de l’impact environnemental à la souveraineté numérique, en passant par le droit d’auteur et l’industrialisation. Penser l’IA, c’est aussi penser ces enjeux, pour nous permettre de rejeter le strictement statistique. Une invitation à considérer la technique par ce qu’elle ne peut capturer – la fragilité, l’inattendu, le vivant.
