Summary:
La guerre futuriste est une mobilisation totale contre les valeurs politiques, morales et culturelles du passé; elle permet à Marinetti de rompre les ponts avec la décadence, d'être de plain-pied dans la réalité qui n'est plus la conséquence du passé mais son contraire. Il repère un ennemi immédiat - les empires centraux "moribonds" - et un objectif facile - l'irrédentisme ; mais surtout il identifie, dans la technique au service du mythe, l'avènement traumatique de la modernité. [...] Marinetti n'est décidément pas facile à cerner. Il est de "droite" ou plutôt d'"extrême droite", lorsqu'il en appelle au droit du plus fort, au reniement de la solidarité de classe, à la loi martiale contre les pacifistes et les traîtres, à la destruction de l'ennemi et pas seulement à sa défaite. Il est de "gauche ", ou plutôt d'"extrême gauche" parce qu'à ses yeux la guerre doit mener à la dissolution de tout ordre préétabli, y compris celui des non-belligérants comme l'Eglise - d'où sa fronde pendant la période fasciste contre les compromis et la corruption du régime. Maurizio Serra, diplomate et historien italien, né à Londres en 1955 ; il dirige actuellement l'Institut diplomatique du ministère des Affaires étrangères italien. Spécialiste d'histoire des idées au XXe siècle, professeur de relations internationales à l'université LUISS de Rome, il est l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages dont Le Passager du siècle.

Summary:
Originally published in Swedish in 1992, this book examines the enigmatic relation of melancholia to an early kind of cannibalism, which psychoanalysis, in particular, stressed. It contains reading of, amongst others, Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, Thomas Bernhard, Sigmund Freud, G. W. F. Hegel, and the Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf. The authors also quote Goethe and Rabelais, for whom food is a cosmic principle, the soil of fertility, on which all creation is based. In a transferred sense, food also plays that same role for the melancholiac he who questions the normal order of things, who creates an other unknown food, with a variety of meanings. The authors trace the desire for this other food through the ages, and scrutinize its relationship to both primitive sacrificial rites as well as contemporary anthropology, philosophy, and linguistic theory.

Summary:
"On knowledge production : a critical reader in contemporary art" presents a selection of newly commissioned and anthologized texts by a diverse group of artists, art historians, philosophers, and theorists who have engaged with thinking critically about the field of art as a site for the production of knowledge. The body of contributions in this reader comprise a series of critical inquiries, thought experiments, documents of practices, and tentative propositions about the status of producing knowledge in contemporary art, which vary widely in perspective, approach, and form. This selection unfolds different entry points and layers, unwrapping the (often) uncritically adopted notion of "art producing knowledge" and casting diverse views on the context, meaning, and potential of this understanding of art practices today.

Summary:
La présente collection prolonge l'activité éditoriale de la revue Documents sur l'art, fondée en 1992. Elle rassemble textes et entretiens avec les acteurs du champ artistique actuel: critiques, artistes, commissaires, collectionneurs... Les artistes actuels évoluent dans un univers de produits en vente, de formes préexistantes, de signaux déjà émis, de bâtiments déjà construits, d’itinéraires balisés par leurs devanciers. Ils ou elles ne considèrent plus le champ artistique comme un musée contenant des œuvres qu’il faudrait citer ou "dépasser", ainsi que le voudrait l’idéologie moderniste du nouveau, mais comme autant de magasins remplis d’outils à utiliser, de stocks de données à manipuler, à rejouer et à mettre en scène. Version française de Postproduction, parue en anglais en 2001.
