Cet abécédaire croise les axes de réflexion autour d’une notion aussi galvaudée qu’insaisissable, mais qui, selon les quarante-trois contributions réunies ici, demeure au centre de nos préoccupations les plus actuelles et les plus vives. Mêlant à la fois une réflexion sur les termes attendus (Grèce, Style, Sublime, Vénus) et d’autres beaucoup plus insolites (Déchets, Robot, Chaos, Pieuvre), la beauté est présente comme un cadre structurant nos pensées mais également comme une lézarde, diffuse et souterraine, dans les interstices de toutes nos modalités d’existence.

Summary:
Things make us just as much as we make things. And yet, unlike the study of languages or places, there is no discipline devoted to the study of material things. This book shows why it is time to acknowledge and confront this neglect and how much we can learn from focusing our attention on stuff. It presents the theories that are required to understand the way we are(...)

Summary:
Things make us just as much as we make things. And yet, unlike the study of languages or places, there is no discipline devoted to the study of material things. This book shows why it is time to acknowledge and confront this neglect and how much we can learn from focusing our attention on stuff. It presents the theories that are required to understand the way we are created by material as well as social relations. It takes us inside the very private worlds of our home possessions and our processes of accommodating. It considers issues of materiality in relation to the media, as well as the implications of such an approach in relation, for example, to poverty. Finally, the book considers objects which we use to define what it is to be alive and how we use objects to cope with death.

Summary:
"Limited Language" is a web-platform, co-founded in 2005 by Colin Davies (University of Wolverhampton) and Monika Parrinder (Royal College of Art, London), for generating writing and discussion about the design process. Over the last four years the site has collected a series of essays and commentary dealing with the key issues which effect and shape visual communication today. This book examines the relationship between traditional printed formats (the book) and new digital ones (blogging). Hybrid media forms are already transforming design. How might they be used to rethink design writing? Each of its sub-sections comprises an article from the website, followed by a reflection/response to the topic by the responses raised on limitedlanguage.org, while rich visual imagery in colour illustrates each article/response.

Summary:
It is not a book about colors. It is rather Kenya Hara’s attempt to explore the essence of "White", which he sees as being closely related to the origin of Japanese aesthetics – symbolizing simplicity and subtlety. The central concepts discussed by the author in this publication are emptiness and the absolute void. Good communication is the ability to listen to each other, rather than to press one’s opinion onto the opponent. Kenya Hara compares this form of communication with an "empty container". In visual communication, there are equally signals whose signification is limited, which, like an "empty container," permit signification and do not limit imagination. The Japanese character for white also forms a radical of the character for emptiness.

Summary:
Castillo closely follows the course of this escalating rivalry between competing consumer cultures through the 1950s, concluding that the Soviet bloc's inability to make good on the claim that it could emulate goods and living standards offered by the West was a contributing factor in communism's eventual demise. Using a mosaic of sources ranging from recently declassified government documents to homemaking journals and popular fiction, this book contributes an engaging new perspective on midcentury modernist style and its political uses at the dawn of the cold war.

In the space between archaeology and history stand men like Scott Jordan, a New Yorker who has been digging around in the city's soil for several decades.
