Summary:
"Cette fois, c'est la révolution pour de vrai" : tels furent les premiers mots prononcés publiquement par Fidel Castro à Santiago de Cuba, après la fuite du général Fulgencio Batista. Le nouveau leader entendait faire table rase du passé, et s'employa d'emblée à produire une idéologie et à refondre le droit. Soulignant l'inachèvement du projet national, son gouvernement put compter sur des appuis aux motifs divergents. Il composa avec des logiques d'action concurrentes : épurations, démonstrations de force, stratégies traditionnelles de captation de prébendes, mobilisations étudiante et syndicale, activisme catholique-réformiste, initiatives citoyennes, mais aussi repli sur la sphère privée... C'est ainsi que, peu à peu, dans un contexte de guerre froide, se constituèrent les règles et se dessinèrent les stratégies individuelles qui fournirent un ancrage à une nouvelle forme de vie en commun. Cette enquête portant sur la période 1952-1989 associe des approches philosophique, sociologique et anthropologique pour situer le régime castriste par rapport au nationalisme cubain, aux populismes latino-américains et aux expériences totalitaires du XXe siècle.

Summary:
In this illustrated survey, British architect Quinlan Terry presents his guide to classical architecture. With intricate sketches, he explains the classical orders of architecture that were created by Vitruvius around 100 AD. The tradition of building using these orders was maintained well into the 20th century, until modernism began to dominate architecture. With this book, Terry, a strong proponent of classical architecture, aims to place focus on the kind of architecture that dominated the field for almost 2,000 years in the West—the vocabulary and heritage of which is known by few today.
