Summary:
Rethinking Density: Art, Culture, and Urban Practices considers new perspectives and discussions related to the category of density, which for a long time has been part of urban-planning discourses and is now regaining the attention of artists and practitioners from a number of different disciplines. In an interplay of models, coping strategies, and experimental approaches, this publication combines research from cultural studies, artistic research, sound studiess as well as architectural and urban theory. The issues discussed include the consideration of retroactive architectural design as a means to retrace the historical layers of a city, a proposal for spacesharing concepts as instruments for urban revitalization processes, and a case study on the potential for new sonic social spaces as subversive modes to undermine prevailing power structures.

Summary:
In his philosophical reflections on the art of lingering, acclaimed cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han argues that the value we attach today to the vita activa is producing a crisis in our sense of time. Our attachment to the vita activa creates an imperative to work which degrades the human being into a labouring animal, an animal laborans. At the same time, the(...)

Summary:
In his philosophical reflections on the art of lingering, acclaimed cultural theorist Byung-Chul Han argues that the value we attach today to the vita activa is producing a crisis in our sense of time. Our attachment to the vita activa creates an imperative to work which degrades the human being into a labouring animal, an animal laborans. At the same time, the hyperactivity which characterizes our daily routines robs human beings of the capacity to linger and the faculty of contemplation. It therefore becomes impossible to experience time as fulfilling. Drawing on a range of thinkers including Heidegger, Nietzsche and Arendt, Han argues that we can overcome this temporal crisis only by revitalizing the vita contemplativa and relearning the art of lingering.

Dans Le Pouvoir des mots, Judith Butler analyse les récents débats, souvent passionnés, sur la violence verbale dirigée contre les minorités, sur la pornographie et sur l’interdiction faite aux homosexuels membres de l’armée américaine de se déclarer tels. Il s’agit pour elle de montrer le danger qu’il y a à confier à l’État le soin de définir le champ du dicible et de l’indicible. Dans un dialogue critique avec J. L. Austin, le fondateur de la théorie du discours performatif, mais aussi avec Sigmund Freud, Michel Foucault, Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida et Catharine MacKinnon, elle s’efforce d’établir l’ambivalence de la violence verbale (du hate speech) et des discours homophobes, sexistes ou racistes : s’ils peuvent briser les personnes auxquelles ils sont adressés, ils peuvent aussi être retournés et ouvrir l’espace d’une lutte politique et d’une subversion des identités.

Summary:
One hundred years ago, French troops fired tear gas grenades into German trenches. Designed to force people out from behind barricades and trenches, tear gas causes burning of the eyes and skin, tearing, and gagging. Chemical weapons are now banned from war zones. But today, tear gas has become the most commonly used form of “less-lethal” police force. In 2011, the year(...)

Summary:
One hundred years ago, French troops fired tear gas grenades into German trenches. Designed to force people out from behind barricades and trenches, tear gas causes burning of the eyes and skin, tearing, and gagging. Chemical weapons are now banned from war zones. But today, tear gas has become the most commonly used form of “less-lethal” police force. In 2011, the year that protests exploded from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street, tear gas sales tripled. Most tear gas is produced in the United States, and many images of protestors in Tahrir Square showed tear gas canisters with “Made in USA” printed on them, while Britain continues to sell tear gas to countries on its own human rights blacklist.

Summary:
In "Atmospheric Things" Derek P. McCormack explores how atmospheres are imagined, understood, and experienced through experiments with a deceptively simple object: the balloon. Since the invention of balloon flight in the late eighteenth century, balloons have drawn crowds at fairs and expositions, inspired the visions of artists and writers, and driven technological development from meteorology to military surveillance. By foregrounding the distinctive properties of the balloon, McCormack reveals its remarkable capacity to disclose the affective and meteorological dimensions of atmospheres. Drawing together different senses of the object, the elements, and experience, McCormack uses the balloon to show how practices and technologies of envelopment allow atmospheres to be generated, made meaningful, and modified.

À l’heure où la notion de personne est au centre des discours politiques, des campagnes de marketing et des questions morales, cet essai opère un renversement de perspective salvateur. Il en découle la recherche de principes, au-delà des libertés démocratiques et des institutions, capables de limiter et d’orienter ces dernières. Il est urgent, selon elle, d’inventer des institutions qui ne se limiteraient pas à protéger nos droits mais qui seraient capables d’abolir ce qui écrase les hommes et entraîne l’injustice.
