How can the artist’s conditions of production be described, and what role can art and architecture play in societal change?

Summary:
Originally published in 1962, when Lefebvre was beginning his career as a lecturer in sociology at the University of Strasbourg, it established his position in the vanguard of a movement which was to culminate in the events of May 1968. A classic analysis of the modern world using Marxist dialectic, it is a book which supersedes the conventional divisions between academic disciplines. With dazzling skill, Lefebvre moves from philosophy to sociology, from literature to history, to present a profound analysis of the social, political and cultural forces at work in France and the world in the aftermath of Stalin's death—an analysis in which the contours of our own “postmodernity” appear with startling clarity.

Summary:
Remix Theory: The Aesthetics of Sampling is an analysis of Remix in art, music, and new media. Navas argues that Remix, as a form of discourse, affects culture in ways that go beyond the basic recombination of material. His investigation locates the roots of Remix in early forms of mechanical reproduction, in seven stages, beginning in the nineteenth century with the development of the photo camera and the phonograph, leading to contemporary Remix culture. This book places particular emphasis on the rise of Remix in music during the 1970s and '80s in relation to art and media at the beginning of the twenty-first Century. Navas argues that Remix is a type of binder, a cultural glue - a virus - that informs and supports contemporary culture.

Les curiosités que Walter Benjamin déballe sous nos yeux - livres pour enfants, abécédaires, rébus, témoignages rédigés par des malades mentaux - attestent toutes un refus de dissocier le texte de l'iconographie, ou plus généralement de la matérialité du livre. Les deux essais de 1931 - "Je déballe ma bibliothèque" et "Pour collectionneurs pauvres" - constituent un début de recherche théorique sur l'acte de collectionner. Enfin une liste de lectures - catalogue fragmentaire dressé par Benjamin lui-même - introduit au parcours de ce penseur aussi inclassable qu'inépuisable.

Peu avant sa mort, il rassemble ses notes et en extrait un très beau texte, Teintes d'automne, emblématique de ce genre littéraire dont il est considéré comme le père fondateur : le nature writing. La Succession des arbres en forêt est quant à lui le texte d'une conférence que Thoreau a prononcée en 1860 devant une société d'agriculture. Évoquant la dissémination des graines d'arbres, il montre comment la compréhension de l'économie de la nature permet de la protéger tout en en tirant des ressources. Car Thoreau le poète, l'humaniste, le résistant, est aussi considéré comme un des pères de l'écologie. Traduit de l'anglais par Nicole Mallet et introduction et notes de Michel Granger.

Having concluded that revolution too often leads to such repressive regimes as France's Committee of Public Safety or the Soviet state, Scott began to examine leaderless mass efforts disorganized strivings towards social improvement. Scott recognizes that anarchism is not a panacea and that there are problems that only government can treat. Nevertheless, he expresses a strong dislike for centralized governance and a preference for expanding chaos. He refers to his sections as "fragments," highlighting the book's key shortcoming: every chapter seems rushed and incomplete, as though Scott were hurrying to get his thoughts down on paper before they vanished.
