Summary:
L’ère de la numérisation transforme les choses en simples acteurs traitant de l’information. Mais que deviennent les choses lorsque, pénétrées par les informations, elles s’immatérialisent ? Le smartphone, la photographie numérique et l’intelligence artificielle sont les principales cibles de cette étude sur l’inhumanité en marche, dont le point d’orgue, a contrario, est(...)

Le smartphone, la photographie numérique et l’intelligence artificielle sont les principales cibles de cette étude sur l’inhumanité en marche, dont le point d’orgue, a contrario, est un hymne émouvant au juke-box – la chose par excellence. “Son vrombissement lui vient des profondeurs du ventre, comme s’il était l’expression de sa volupté. Le son numérique est dénué de tout bruit de chose. Il est incorporel et lisse. Le son que le juke-box produit relève à la fois de la chose et du corps.” Il s’agit sans doute l’essai de Byung-Chul Han le plus nostalgique, le plus touchant et le plus polémique.

Summary:
Ce que nous nommons la croissance aujourd’hui est en fait une excroissance, une prolifération qui détruit l’organisme social. D’une vitalité inexplicable et mortelle, ses excès métastasent et prolifèrent à l’infini. Arrivée à un certain stade, la production devient destructrice : le capitalisme a depuis longtemps dépassé ce point critique. Ses pouvoirs destructeurs(...)

D’une vitalité inexplicable et mortelle, ses excès métastasent et prolifèrent à l’infini. Arrivée à un certain stade, la production devient destructrice : le capitalisme a depuis longtemps dépassé ce point critique. Ses pouvoirs destructeurs produisent non seulement des catastrophes écologiques ou sociales, mais aussi des catastrophes mentales. Les effets dévastateurs du capitalisme suggèrent l’influence d’une pulsion de mort. Penser le capitalisme aujourd’hui ne peut se faire sans l’acceptation de cette pulsion.

Summary:
Dévoilant le fétichisme de la marchandise, Benjamin analyse comment le capitalisme marque la culture et les imaginaires. Refus de l’utile, droit à la flânerie, renversement révolutionnaire, harmonie entre nature et humanité, sont selon lui autant de ferments d’utopies pour résister à l’uniformisation du monde. À l’heure où la course au progrès est plus que jamais(...)

Summary:
A revival of the Renaissance genre of the same name, isolarii (meaning 'island texts') is a very small publication; each issue of which focuses on a different, stand-alone theme or idea. The sixth edition is titled ‘The Archipelago Conversations’ and is based on 15 years of conversations between Caribbean philosopher Édouard Glissant and his friend Hans Ulrich Obrist. It marks the tenth anniversary of Glissant's passing. Translation by Emma Ramadan. Hans Ulrich Obrist met the Martinique-born philosopher, poet, and revolutionary Édouard Glissant in the mid-nineties; the encounter influenced the direction of Obrist's work for years to come. As one of today's most prolific producers of culture, Obrist has left an indelible mark and Glissant, in part, through him. Throughout 2021, during the pandemic and ten years after Glissant's death, Obrist has edited, reworked, and arranged their conversations in their entirety for the first time. THE ARCHIPELAGO CONVERSATIONS is the result: a book designed to introduce the most important philosopher of the 21st Century to a broad, public audience - a ready-to-hand tool for building an interdependent Earth.

Andrew Ross’s reflections on his experience of combining activism with writing offer guidance about how to meet political obligations and seize opportunities when presented with events of historical significance. We don’t get to choose the time we live in, nor the conditions which determine our agency. What are our responsibilities to the world we’re given, not only to interpret and understand it but also to change it? How can we look at the past as an inspiration while remaining responsive to the urgent demands of the present? Ross is Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University and a social activist.

Summary:
In this essay, Samuel Wells meditates on the paradox of contemporary life: we are more connected than ever-so why are we lonely? Drawing on secular and theological thinkers, he proposes a vision for being with one other that contrasts with working for, working with or being for each other. He is Vicar of St-Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square and Visiting Professor(...)

Summary:
What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award-winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth, to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers, to the data taken from every action and expression. This book reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.

De cette situation triangulaire insolite, Chris Kraus tire une méditation subversive sur la place des femmes dans le couple et dans le monde d'aujourd'hui. Elle pousse l'exploration du désir féminin à son comble, nous entraîne dans les tréfonds d'une quête acharnée qui la conduit à traverser l'Amérique et à faire chemin seule, dans l'espoir d'une possible renaissance. C'est donc moins à une relecture des Liaisons dangereuses que de Madame Bovarg à laquelle nous invite Chris Kraus dans ce livre culte qui efface les limites entre fiction, essai et récit autobiographique pour mieux sonder les multiples visages du discours amoureux.

In an interplay of models, coping strategies, and experimental approaches, this publication combines research from cultural studies, artistic research, sound studiess as well as architectural and urban theory. The issues discussed include the consideration of retroactive architectural design as a means to retrace the historical layers of a city, a proposal for spacesharing concepts as instruments for urban revitalization processes, and a case study on the potential for new sonic social spaces as subversive modes to undermine prevailing power structures.
