Summary:
The Situationist International (SI), led by Guy Debord and central to the Paris uprising in May 1968, published many incendiary texts on politics and art in the journal Internationale Situationniste. One central theme to their work was rethinking the city: from a site for routine consumption and work to a utopia that breaks down barriers between function and play. In this essential volume Tom McDonough collects together all of the SI’s key essays on urbanism and the city. The book is illustrated by images that were core to the SI project. It includes such key texts as “The Theory of Dérive,” “Formulary for a New Urbanism,” and many previously untranslated texts, including those that came out of the Situationists’ collaboration with Henri Lefebvre.

Summary:
In this journey, Pedro Bandeira takes us to Arcosanti, the city of Paolo Soleri. In a tale about the experience of driving the American interior by car, avoiding cities and “collecting nature parks and deserts”, Pedro Bandeira wanders between the desert and the meaning of the trip. On the way, he finds Arcosanti, exploring the experimental city isolated in Arizona, revealing it in the negatives of the Kodak 35mm black-and-white film, uncovering the level of detail of Soleri's architecture, "capable of taming the various reinforced concrete masses" but also the "pragmatic informality" with which time and the community that lives there occupied the place. The book is part of the collection Journeys whose aim is to construct a map of emotions from unique journeys undertaken by recognised personalities from the architectural culture. A tour around the various continents, but also the universe of its authors.

Summary:
En 1965, Guy Debord dépose le brevet d'un Jeu de la Guerre (dit encore Kliegspiel) qu'il avait imaginé dix ans plus tôt. Eu janvier 1977, il s'associe à Gérard Lebovici pour fonder, à parts égales, une société dont l'objet est la production, la publication et l'exploitation de jeux. Sous la dénomination " Les Jeux stratégiques et historiques ", la société publie simultanément en français et en anglais une Règle du " Jeu de la Guerre ", et fait réaliser par un artisan quatre (ou cinq) exemplaires du jeu, dont la table (45,5 cm x 36,5 cm) et les pièces ciselées sont en cuivre argenté. C'est en 1987, après la disparition de Gérard Lebovici, que paraîtra, aux éditions qui portaient son nom, Le Jeu de la Guerre, présenté sous la forme d'un " relevé des positions successives de toutes les forces au cours d'une partie ". Un modèle rudimentaire du jeu avait été diffusé dans le même temps. En 1991, par décision de Guy Debord, Le Jeu de la Guerre est mis au pilon avec l'ensemble de ses autres livres publiés. Nous le faisons reparaître dans une nouvelle édition revue, corrigée et augmentée de documents retrouvés, susceptibles d'éclairer le lecteur sur le fondement et la nature spécifique de ce jeu tel que l'a conçu et réalisé son inventeur Guy Debord.

Summary:
Translated by Donald Nicholson-Smith. Few works of political and cultural theory have been as enduringly provocative as Guy Debord's "The society of the spectacle". From its publication amid the social upheavals of the 1960s up to the present, the volatile theses of this book have decisively transformed debates on the shape of modernity, capitalism and everyday life in the late twentieth century. Now finally available in a superb English translation approved by the author, Debord's text remains as crucial as ever for understanding the contemporary effects of power, which are increasingly inseparable from the new virtual worlds of our rapidly changing image/information culture.
