Ces questions concernent également le paysage. Les paysages font-ils partie des biens communs ? Et en quoi peut-on considérer que les paysages jouent un rôle dans la fabrication collective du commun ? Telles sont les questions que Les Carnets du paysage ont décidé d'explorer dans ce numéro, dont l'ambition est à la fois de décrire des expériences de construction collective de communs, de clarifier les termes des discussions actuelles sur le commun, et de témoigner de plusieurs initiatives où les paysagistes ont été impliqués. Les enjeux sont considérables : notre hypothèse est que le paysage non seulement relève des biens communs, mais qu'il constitue en outre un élément décisif dans la reformulation d'une écologie politique.

Summary:
For thousands of years they have given people of the northern forests and beyond raw materials in the form of leaves, twigs, branches and bark, as well as wood and sap, not simply to survive but to flourish and express their identity in practical and spiritual ways. Tough, waterproof and flexible, birch bark has been used for everything from basketry and clothing to housing and transport, musical instruments and medicines, as well as a means to communicate and record sacred beliefs: some of our most ancient Buddhist texts and other historic documents are written on birch bark. Birches have not only shaped regional cultures – creating, for example, the Native American wigwam and the birch bark canoe – but continue to supply raw materials of global economic importance today. "Birch" explores the multiple uses of these versatile trees as well as the ancient beliefs and folklore with which they are associated.

Summary:
"Monsters under Glass" explores our enduring fascination with hothouses and exotic blooms, from their rise in ancient times, through the Victorian vogue for plant collecting, to the vegetable monsters of twentieth-century science fiction and the movies, comics, and video games of the present day. Our interest in hothouses can be traced back to the Roman emperor Tiberius, but it was only in the early nineteenth century that a boom in exotic plant collecting and new glasshouse technologies stimulated the imagination of novelists, poets, and artists, and the hothouse entered the creative language in a highly charged way. Decadent writers in England and Europe—including Charles Baudelaire and Oscar Wilde—transformed the hothouse from a functional object to a powerful metaphor of metropolitan life, sexuality, and being replete with a dark underside of decay and death; and of consciousness itself, nurtured and dissected under glass.

Summary:
The smell of fresh-cut grass and the look of a well-kept lawn evoke strong feelings in many of us, but this book is the story of two men who took that feeling and made it into an obsession with the lawn mower. Edwin Beard Budding (1796–1846) invented the lawnmower; Clive Gravett, the author, has built both a museum and charity dedicated to Budding, and he has assembled a vast collection of mowers spanning a century and a half. "Two Men Went to Mow" tells the full story of this world-changing piece of machinery. From its use in family yards, to its impact on the turf-based sports so many of us watch and love, Gravett takes us on an extraordinary and informative journey, showing how the mower developed, linking its rise to other trends in social history, and exploring the mowing habits of many famous and even infamous people.

Mais chacun semble aborder cet objectif d'un point de vue diamétralement opposé : l'intellect et la rationalité pour l'un, la sensualité et l'émotionnel pour l'autre. À l'esprit cartésien ou « apollinien » de Wilmotte, faut-il opposer l'esprit instinctif, « dionysiaque » de Mus ? La ligne pour l'un, la courbe pour l'autre ; le minéral pour l'architecte, le végétal pour le paysagiste ? À travers un dialogue fécond entre ces deux grands créateurs, recueilli par Dane McDowell, le lecteur comprendra en quoi ces deux points de vue antinomiques fondent leur processus créatif respectif, comment ils s'expriment dans leur travail, s'opposent, se confrontent et, au final, se rejoignent souvent.

Assertion frappante. Je la tiens de Bernard Lassus, alors enseignant en art plastique à l’École du paysage de Versailles. D’une manière ou d’une autre, les composantes inertes du paysage se trouvent liées au vivant en tant que système mais il arrive qu’on les perçoive pour elles-mêmes sans identifier les êtres auxquels elles se trouvent associées : une plage de sable blanc, une cime enneigée, une falaise de craie. Le blanc intervient alors de façon massive, occupant tout le regard et, même s’il s’agit d’un phénomène temporaire – le ciel, l’écume, la neige – il peut identifier un territoire durablement. » G. C.

Summary:
The book discusses the ways in which the project can critically contribute to an affirmative biopolitical action of substantial emancipation; it considers space an essential agent, and not only a collective capital, or a support, for adapting our lives to the recent profoundly changed conditions. In all the new research on the future of urban space, the renewed interest in life, tragically affected by health, ecological and socio-political crises, raises a crucial theoretical and projective question: what role can space play in maintaining and promoting life in the broader sense of bíos? This book is based on the conviction that there is an urgent need to revisit the Foucauldian notion of biopolitics - free, however, from the privilege given to the goal of control - to rethink the project of the city and territory in transition in an affirmative and emancipatory way.
