Qu'est-ce que la musique ? Elle était autrefois un événement social inscrit dans le continuum de nos vies : on allait l'écouter ou on la pratiquait collectivement. Avec l'enregistrement, elle est aussi devenue un produit – ; un objet qui peut être vendu, acheté, privatisé et rejoué indéfiniment dans n'importe quel contexte. Les communautés humaines ne cessent, partout dans le monde, d'adapter leurs manières de créer, conserver, distribuer et recevoir la musique.

Au cours des trois dernières décennies, le numérique s’est irrémédiablement immiscé dans les objets du quotidien et les pratiques socioculturelles. Il s’éprouve notamment à travers l’utilisation des plateformes, des moteurs de recherche et de la téléphonie mobile.

Au cours des trois dernières décennies, le numérique s’est irrémédiablement immiscé dans les objets du quotidien et les pratiques socioculturelles. Il s’éprouve notamment à travers l’utilisation des plateformes, des moteurs de recherche et de la téléphonie mobile. Pour qualifier ce déploiement technique et économique, la notion de «?service?» est continuellement convoquée. Mais comment caractériser le pouvoir de transformation du numérique sur notre manière d’être au monde?? Comment l’idée, qui fut celle du design moderne, de chercher à mettre des formes au monde, peut-elle s’en accommoder?? En revenant notamment sur le travail de Walter Gropius et Louis Sullivan, Pierre-Damien Huyghe montre qu’il nous faut désormais affronter un risque nouveau?: celui de la perversité d’objets à double sens, ou à double fonction.

Summary:
In an age of email lists and discussion groups, e-zines and weblogs, bringing together users, consumers, workers and activists from around the globe, what kinds of political subjectivity are emerging? What kinds of politics become possible in a time of information overload and media saturation? What structures of power and control operate over a self-organising system like the internet? In this highly original new work, Tiziana Terranova investigates the political dimension of the network culture in which we now live, and explores what the new forms of communication and organisation might mean for our understanding of power and politics. Terranova engages with key concepts and debates in cultural theory and cultural politics, using examples from media culture, computing, network dynamics, and internet activism within the anti-capitalist and anti-war movements.

Active since the late 1960s, Alvaro Siza continues to build across different regions of the world, and each work of architecture reflects consciousness of the collective values of a place. This sensitivity is evident in different scales and material used, such as Clay Pavilion in Mexico, which recalls traditional construction techniques, and Renovation of the Manor Dos Magalhães, which sculpturally integrates new landscaped terraces with the critical function of the building, yet makes no unnecessary changes to the façade of the ruin. In addition to 16 recent works, architect and writer Nuno Grande composes a “poem to Porto,” which highlights 5 of the most influential projects by Alvaro Siza in his beloved city.

Summary:
In recent decades, citizens active in urban governance have taken up their roles as autonomous subjects, negotiating with governmental actors on the reuse of vacant buildings while representing the wishes of fellow residents to create self-managed communal spaces that are open to neighbourhood residents. They have appropriated vacant properties — and, where possible, constructed new buildings — in line with their own interests, those of civic groups, and the common good. They work to create affordable working, living, cultural and community places in an increasingly commercialised urban environment. In this publication, these civic actors are referred to as citizen professionals (CPs).

Summary:
Neighbourhoods matter now more than ever before. They sustain fewer social connections, but in an era of great social inequality and high levels of immigration, they have become vital as places for homeowner investment and educational opportunity for children. The Rise of the Neighbourhood in Canada, 1880s–2020s traces the changing character and significance of Canadian urban neighbourhoods, city and suburban, since the 1880s. The book highlights patterns in neighbourhood life, particularly noticeable in larger urban areas, which are especially important for the least mobile people: workers, lower income households, immigrants, women, children, and the elderly. It explores how the physical and social characteristics of neighbourhoods affect public health, crime rates, social capital, and job opportunities while shaping the lifelong prospects of children.
