Summary:
In the domain of visual images, those of fine art form a tiny minority. This book calls upon art historians to look beyond their traditional subjects--painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking--to the vast array of "nonart" images, including those from science, technology, commerce, medicine, music, and archaeology. Such images, James Elkins asserts, can be as rich(...)

This book calls upon art historians to look beyond their traditional subjects--painting, drawing, photography, and printmaking--to the vast array of "nonart" images, including those from science, technology, commerce, medicine, music, and archaeology. Such images, James Elkins asserts, can be as rich and expressive as any canonical painting. Using scores of illustrations as examples, he proposes a radically new way of thinking about visual analysis, one that relies on an object's own internal sense of organization.

Illustrated throughout with Krier’s original drawings, The Architecture of Community explains his theories on classical and vernacular urbanism and architecture, while providing practical design guidelines for creating livable towns. The book contains descriptions and images of the author’s built and unbuilt projects, including the Krier House and Tower in Seaside, Florida, as well as the town of Poundbury in England. Commissioned by the Prince of Wales in 1988, Krier’s design for Poundbury in Dorset has become a reference model for ecological planning and building that can meet contemporary needs.

Summary:
Loin des effets journalistiques à caractère sensationnel sur les banlieues, il est temps de comprendre la présente transformation de la question sociale, la remise en cause des réponses apportées à celle-ci, à travers les politiques urbaine, sociale et de sécurité par l'État providence et les tentatives actuelles de renouvellement de ces politiques. L'analyse développée ici par Jacques Donzelot montre, d'un côté, un processus d'altération de la condition salariale qui s'accroît à mesure que l'on va du centre de la société ou de la ville vers la périphérie, des emplois les plus qualifiés vers ceux qui le sont le moins, voire point - un processus qui, dans les faits, conduit à déplacer la population la plus fragilisée et le plus souvent issue de l'immigration vers les territoires de relégation que constituent beaucoup de cités et de grands ensembles. D'un autre côté, on assiste simultanément à un mouvement en sens inverse, produit par ceux qui veulent quitter la périphérie et éviter toute possible promiscuité. L'effet couplé de ces mouvements contraires amène à observer un changement de nature de la question sociale, et pas simplement de forme. Parce que le repli identitaire des populations installe au coeur de la société une logique de séparation où l'évitement remplace la confrontation. Se développe ainsi un urbanisme affinitaire qui modifie complètement les termes traditionnels de la cité et installe pernicieusement une ville -comme une société - à plusieurs vitesses.

Italo Calvino cast his lofty thoughts toward the pending millennium long before the rest of us. Now that the zeitgeist has caught up with him, it seems a good time to revisit his Six Memos for the Next Millennium, an investigation into the literary values that he wished to bequeath to future generations.
